“提取铬”如何工作？ 如何编辑gclient配置

Question

I am trying to download the chromium code, I am doing it for the first time. After many hours 'fetch chromium' failed due to OutOfMemory exception. Its here on chromium issues

My question is: How do I configure my .gclient (where is this located) to ignore some git clones operations? Where can I find the list of actions that gclient does to fetch the code? Is there some list of dependencies defined somewhere? Can I restart 'fetch' operation skipping already downloaded ones?

thanks in advance.

Regarding OOM error during fetch:

    This should be fixed now: https://codereview.chromium.org/202753003/
    Please make sure your checkout of depot_tools is up to date...

And regarding how fetch works, you can always check fetch script in depot_tools/fetch.py

.gclient is present in directory where you're checking out code (hidden file , ctrl+h ?)

To ignore syncing some projects you can select custom_deps like this, but strongly advised to not do this anyway..

 "custom_deps": {
  "src/third_party/WebKit": None,   
},

On a 64 bit OS with <4GB RAM, the gcm_utils.py queries platform bit (32 or 64) and assumes you have enoughy memory, which is >4gb and uses -2g instead of -512m in fetching.

So if you have less memory on a 64bit, you might have to edit the utils file and change it to 512m or equivalent.
