+Creating a multilocale build |
+---------------------------- |
+ |
+### Preparations |
+ |
+1. Create a folder outside of the Adblock Browser repo, e.g `abb-multi` |
+2. Change into `abb-multi` and clone mozharness via: |
+ |
+ hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/mozharness |
+ |
+3. Symlink the adblockbrowser repo into `abb-multi`, e.g.: |
+ |
+ ln -s ../adblockbrowser adblockbrowser |
+ |
+4. Copy your `mozconfig` from `adblockbrowser` to `abb-multi`, e.g.: |
+ |
+ cp adblockbrowser/mozconfig ./mozconfig |
+ |
+5. Create a copy of the build configuration, by: |
+ |
+ cp mozharness/configs/multi_locale/standalone_mozilla-central.py abb-multi-cfg.py |
+ |
+###Configuration |
+ |
+* Change `BUILD_DIR = "mozilla-central"` to `BUILD_DIR = "adblockbrowser"` |
+* Make sure `OBJDIR = "objdir-droid"` matches your build output |
+ folder |
+* If your `mozconfig` is not called `mozconfig`, change `MOZCONFIG` |
+* **Remove the repository pulling part** from the config. |
+ The code to remove looks like this: |
+ |
+ 26 "repos": [{ |
+ 27 "repo": "https://hg.mozilla.org/%s" % REPO_PATH, |
+ 28 "tag": "default", |
+ 29 "dest": BUILD_DIR, |
+ 30 }], |
+* You might want to remove the `"backup-objdir"` build step if you do |
+ not want your objdir to be backupped. Keep in mind that you then need to |
+ clobber for a single-locale build. |
+ |
+An example configuration could look like this: |
+ |
+ 1 import os |
+ 2 # The name of the directory we'll pull our source into. |
+ 3 BUILD_DIR = "adblockbrowser" |
+ 4 # This is everything that comes after https://hg.mozilla.org/ |
+ 5 # e.g. "releases/mozilla-aurora" |
+ 6 REPO_PATH = "mozilla-central" |
+ 7 # This is where the l10n repos are (everything after https://hg.mozilla.org/) |
+ 8 # for mozilla-central, that's "l10n-central". |
+ 9 # For mozilla-aurora, that's "releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora" |
+ 10 L10N_REPO_PATH = "l10n-central" |
+ 11 # Currently this is assumed to be a subdirectory of your build dir |
+ 12 OBJDIR = "obj-android" |
+ 13 # Set this to mobile/xul for XUL Fennec |
+ 14 ANDROID_DIR = "mobile/android" |
+ 15 # Absolute path to your mozconfig. |
+ 16 # By default it looks at "./mozconfig" |
+ 17 MOZCONFIG = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "mozconfig") |
+ 18 |
+ 19 config = { |
+ 20 "work_dir": ".", |
+ 21 "log_name": "multilocale", |
+ 22 "objdir": OBJDIR, |
+ 23 "locales_file": "%s/%s/locales/maemo-locales" % (BUILD_DIR, ANDROID_DIR), |
+ 24 "locales_dir": "%s/locales" % ANDROID_DIR, |
+ 25 "ignore_locales": ["en-US", "multi"], |
+ 26 "l10n_repos": [{ |
+ 27 "repo": "https://hg.mozilla.org/build/compare-locales", |
+ 28 "tag": "RELEASE_AUTOMATION" |
+ 29 }], |
+ 30 "hg_l10n_base": "https://hg.mozilla.org/%s" % L10N_REPO_PATH, |
+ 31 "hg_l10n_tag": "default", |
+ 32 "l10n_dir": "l10n", |
+ 33 "merge_locales": True, |
+ 34 "mozilla_dir": BUILD_DIR, |
+ 35 "mozconfig": MOZCONFIG, |
+ 36 "default_actions": [ |
+ 37 "pull-locale-source", |
+ 38 "build", |
+ 39 "package-en-US", |
+ 40 "restore-objdir", |
+ 41 "add-locales", |
+ 42 "package-multi", |
+ 43 "summary", |
+ 44 ], |
+ 45 } |
+ |
+###Building |
+ |
+For performing the multilocale build, invoke |
+ |
+ ./mozharness/scripts/multil10n.py --cfg abb-multi-cfg.py |
+ |
+from inside `abb-multi`. The resulting build is located in |
+`BUILD_DIR/OBJ_DIR/dist/` |
