This is the beginning of Mozilla's new build system. In this patch, we have a Python sandbox tailored for execution of Python scripts which will define the build system. We also have a build reader that traverses a linked set of scripts. More details are available in the thorough README.rst files as part of this patch. * * * Bug 784841 - Part 2b: Option to not descend into child moz.build files; r=ted
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).
