When updating src/net/base/registry_controlled_domains/effective_tld_names.dat: 1. Obtain the new effective_tld_names.dat, probably by downloading http://goo.gl/Ji2bB 2. Remove whitespace from the ends of the lines. You could possibly use something like: sed -i -e "s/\s*$//g" \ src/net/base/registry_controlled_domains/effective_tld_names.dat 3. Add the Chromium note back in just after the license at the top, and just before '===BEGIN ICANN DOMAINS==='. Ensure there is an empty line above and two empty lines below the note. The note should say: // Chromium note: this is based on Mozilla's file: // http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/dns/effective_tld_names.dat?raw=1 4. Build tld_cleanup (the "(net)" > "tld_cleanup" project) 5. Run it (no arguments needed), typically from src/build/Release or src/build/Debug. It will re-generate src/net/base/registry_controlled_domains/effective_tld_names.gperf. 6. Run gperf on the new effective_tld_names.gperf: pushd src/net/base/registry_controlled_domains; gperf -a -L "C++" -C -c -o -t -k '*' -NFindDomain -P -K name_offset -D -m 10 \ effective_tld_names.gperf > effective_tld_names.cc; popd; It will produce a new effective_tld_names.cc. 7. Check in the updated effective_tld_names.dat, effective_tld_names.gperf, and effective_tld_names.cc together.
