This DEPS file specifies the extra dependencies required to build Chromium for Chromium OS. It lives here in src/tools/cros.DEPS, but is generally checked out to another location by a custom rule in your .gclient file, often a cros_deps/ directory next to your src/ directory. For example: { "name" : "cros_deps", "url" : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/tools/cros.DEPS" }, If you want to rev these deps and publish them for all to see, edit src/tools/cros.DEPS/DEPS. If you want to rev the deps locally first, edit the file in the location to which your .gclient file checks it out (in most cases, cros_deps/DEPS), but note that you cannot push a modification from there.
