There are both mechanical and logical changes in this patch. The mechanical changes involve moving some files into the mozbuild package. The logical changes include move writing of mozinfo.json into config.status (from configure.in). There were some variable assignments being performed in configure.in. These variables were read from writemozinfo.py. However, these variables don't appear to be necessary! Now that mozinfo has full access to the underlying config.status data structure, it can now access these variables directly. I verified that every variable being assigned in configure.in had a corresponding AC_SUBST earlier in the file. The only variable that's a bit weird is the TOPSRCDIR and MOZCONFIG environment variables. mozinfo continues to look in the environment for MOZCONFIG. However TOPSRCDIR is now coming from config.status. As part of moving the code, I also modernized the test file, cleaned up some style, and removed some unused imports. --HG-- rename : config/writemozinfo.py => python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mozinfo.py rename : config/tests/unit-writemozinfo.py => python/mozbuild/mozbuild/test/test_mozinfo.py

You can download nightly development builds from the Mozilla FTP server.
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for
testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at:
