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 |

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!
