= 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
=== Updates for security releases ===
=== Updates between major branches (aka major update) ====
== Proposed new process ==
