This message dates from bug 1177128, the commit where this bootstrapper was added. At the time of writing that was certainly true, but today it doesn't appear to be true in any meaningful way. There's certainly an expectation that installing MozillaBuild and running `mach bootstrap` will get your machine ready to build Firefox; or at least, if it doesn't, it prints out some error messages telling you to do extra stuff, like we see in bug 1644794 for example. Therefore, I don't see how this message is relevant at all any more. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D80730
This directory contains common Python code. The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should go here. What should not go here: * Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead) * Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/) * Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla) module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
