 Hi,
 It's noticed that a normal source code checkout by gclient config ... 
 gclient sync with default settings will cost a couple of hours via an ADSL,
 which is very time-consuming, and the result working copy will occupy about
 2GB disk space, which is very space-consuming.

Hi Hua:

If you're talking about checking out all files manually, you can
always download tar file at:

 Is there any official configuration file (the
 .gclient file) for win32 only checkout or linux/mac only checkout, which
 only checkouts minimum files for the specified platform?

Platform-specific source is scattered around, and makes up a very
small fraction of the total repository size (a substantial amount of
which is tests, not source code), so that would take a lot of work to
maintain for very little benefit. You'd be better off looking for the
really large parts of of the repository and trimming the parts of
those that you don't need for your development, rather than trying to
get something that removes absolutely everything that you don't need.
Besides, just because you are on Windows doesn't mean you won't need
to make changes to other platform files during development.

If all you are doing is *building* Chromium, not doing development,
excluding the big test directories will be the biggest win by at least
an order of magnitude or two.
