Update generation
One of the key features of Firefox is the update system that allows Mozilla to push out bug fixes and new features to users automatically.
Current processes
Currently we use two different sets of processes and tools to generate updates for nightly updates and releases.
Nightly updates
- nightly builders generate complete MAR using Makefile
- upload complete MAR to staging along with build
- upload snippet to prometheus-vm(?)
- prometheus-vm runs cron script every 5 minutes (patch-packager-cron.sh) that calls patch-packager.pl
