*** note IMPORTANT: Do not make changes to full.xml in this repo. This repo automatically syncs with the private manifest repo https://chrome-internal.googlesource.com/chromeos/manifest-internal. If you do not have access to the private repo, please ask a Googler to update the manifest on your behalf. The changes must be synced to the infra/config file chromeos_repos.star. Without this, the repo will never be picked up by CQ.
Repo is the tool that we use to manage our local checkouts. It parses the
manifest specified by the default.xml
file. The name of the manifest can be
overridden using -m
. One could also check out a subset of the manifest using
the repo groups
feature. This section documents the important groups that are
part of the default chromiumos manifest.
This group is the minimum subset of repos needed to do a full build of Chrome OS. It doesn't include all of the repos to necessarily test the OS image but does include all those needed to create an image.
The subset of repos needed to perform release actions i.e. payload generation, etc. Used by release engineers, TPMs, and Infra team members. Note this group isn't useful without a checkout of manifest-internal.
Tools needed to perform routine lab administrative actions like DUT re-allocation or lab server management.
