Gregory Szorc 262077ed01 Bug 808336 - Part 1: Refactor mach command handler management; r=jhammel Previously we were tighly coupled with MozbuildObject. This was not in the spirit of mach being a generic tool. Now, instead of passing multiple arguments to __init__ of the class providing the mach command we either pass 0 or 1. The number of arguments is detected when processing the @CommandProvider decorator. The optional argument is a named tuple containing mach run-time state. Capturing of mach command provider information is now captured in a class (as opposed to an anoymous tuple). We also capture these in a rich data structure which is passed as part of the run-time data to the command provider class. This allows mach commands to inspect the mach environment. Mach decorators have been moved to mach.decorators. mach.base is reserved for generic mach data/container classes. Existing mach command classes derived from MozbuildObject have been replaced with either object or mozbuild.base.MachCommandBase. This latter class translates the mach context instance passed to __init__ into the constructor arguments for MozbuildObject.__init__. Support for registering function handlers with mach has been removed. All handlers must be inside classes. --HG-- rename : python/mach/mach/base.py => python/mach/mach/decorators.py		2012-11-06 16:57:41 -08:00

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python -

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
