There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree. The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent linkage, some standalone. Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue in most cases. Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
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: * 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).
