New issue 22158 by [email protected]: Daily Auto-Updating Chromium Build  
w/ Crash Data Reporting
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22158

Right now our crash data is lagging approximately 1-2 weeks behind our  
current tip of tree.  This is causing us problems
finding regression points, iteratively attempting fixes, and making more  
aggressive use of CHECKS.  More over it would be
helpful in getting the software in our users hands more rapidly to help  
find feature breaks (and see when feature defects
have been cured w/ out waiting a week or two for the next dev cycle)

Proposal:

Build a breakpad enabled chromium build along side the standard chromium  
builds (revision for revision), and store in the
outputs in a non-public archive.

The auto-update mechanism:
Right now  
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/win/LATEST/REVISION, which  
represents the last all green is
updated by a chron script.  When the chron build executes and finds a green  
build, it would update a special
LATEST/REVISION location w/ the new version and mini-installer binaries  
(this special update would happen no more than
once a day).  Since we have the matching compiled binaries this would  
effectively be a copy.

The special chromium build would "auto-update" by polling (5 hour interval,  
startup, etc...) on this special
LATEST/REVISION location and install mini-installer

Crash reporting:

We'd report crashes back in a way that would specially indicate the source  
of the chromium build (i.e. a specific product
or version moniker)

TBD (offline discuss):
Since data collection is involved, we'd need to figure out how we will  
manage the EULA and at what point this would occur.
