A new build tier is introduced: precompile. The intention is to replace the export subtier with something better and nonrecursive. IPDL and WebIDL code generation have been moved into this new tier and are performed concurrently. This appears to reduce build times due to fewer "single threaded" build actions. The subtier tracking UI has been updated to reflect operations that can occur in parallel. As subtiers are started, they turn yellow. They can then complete in any order. Nonrecursive targets have been added to preserve the IPDL and WebIDL build targets such that developers can type |make| from leaf directories like they have always done.
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).
