Here "update programs" refers to the various standalone binaries we produce in order to update Firefox. There's not strong conceptual coherence between them; rather, it's the pieces that the Install/Update team generally work on. To use this build project, prepare a minimal mozconfig with `--enable-project=tools/update-programs`. Depending on the mozconfig options and host and target OS, some of the following will be built: 1. the maintenance service; 2. the updater binary; 3. the Windows Default Browser Agent; 4. the Background Update Agent.

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).
