<nowiki>*</nowiki>Some release dates and merge dates are rescheduled to avoid conflicts with holidays.

Notes:
* Irregular scheduling starting 2016.
* Six week schedule from 2011 to 2015 (with some dates delayed to avoid conflicts with holidays).
* Firefox 5 was on a slightly different schedule. It spent five weeks each on Aurora and Beta while later releases spent six weeks on each branch.

Rillian: Clean up current status

'''Oxidation''' is a project to integrate [https://www.rust-lang.org/ Rust] code into Gecko and Firefox.

* Tracking: {{bug|oxidation}}
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Building_Firefox_with_Rust_code Developer Documentation]
* [https://gecko.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build/buildsystem/rust.html Build System Documentation]

Which components will use Rust code?

* Completed
** URL parser: {{bug|1151899}}
** Replace uconv with encoding-rs: {{bug|1261841}}
* In progress
** CSS style calculation (from Servo): {{bug|stylo}}
** WebM demuxer: {{bug|1267492}}
** WebRender (from Servo): {{bug|webrender}}
** Audio remoting for Linux: {{bug|1362220}}
** SDP parsing in WebRTC {{bug|1365792}}
* Proposed
** Replace the XML parser
** Replace the preferences module
** Replace the telemetry module(?)
** Share media playback stack with Servo(?)

What is the high-level status of things?
* We are actively adding new code modules written in Rust to Firefox.
* The MP4 metadata parser is enabled and shipped on release!
* Rust has been *required* on all platforms since Firefox 54.

Rillian: Add bug number for the SDP parser work.

'''Oxidation''' is a project to integrate [https://www.rust-lang.org/ Rust] code into Gecko and Firefox.

* Tracking: {{bug|oxidation}}
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Building_Firefox_with_Rust_code Developer Documentation]

Which components will use Rust code?

* Completed
** URL parser: {{bug|1151899}}
** Replace uconv with encoding-rs: {{bug|1261841}}
* In progress
** CSS style calculation (from Servo): {{bug|stylo}}
** WebM demuxer: {{bug|1267492}}
** WebRender (from Servo): {{bug|webrender}}
** Audio remoting for Linux: {{bug|1362220}}
** SDP parsing in WebRTC {{bug|1365792}}
* Proposed
** Replace the XML parser
** Replace the preferences module
** Replace the telemetry module(?)

What is the high-level status of things?
* Build system support for Rust is available, but not required by default.
* The MP4 metadata parser is enabled and shipped on release!
* Rust code is not currently enabled on Android.
* Rust has been *required* on all platforms since Firefox 54.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T17:24:24Z

Rillian: Fix formatting

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T17:20:47Z

Rillian: Add neovim

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T17:19:12Z

Rillian: Add Microsoft's vscode editor

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T16:57:19Z

Rillian: Add ffmpeg

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T16:54:23Z

Rillian: Hyperlink OpenH264 project

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

2017-02-09T16:50:43Z

Rillian: Sort some out-of-order entries

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.

Mobile/Fennec/Android/GDB

2016-08-29T19:43:51Z

Rillian: Document -fPIE for gdbserver

JimDB is a fork of GDB used for simplifying Fennec development. It consists of two parts:

* Binaries - the GDB/GDBServer binaries that include Android-specific patches (https://github.com/darchons/android-gdb)
* Scripts - the Python scripts that run under GDB to simplify common tasks (https://github.com/darchons/android-gdbutils)

Use #mobile on IRC for support.

= Getting started =

== Using mach ==

You can use mach to fetch, install, configure, and run JimDB with one simple command. Note that if you are on OS X, mach may install JimDB correctly, but then try to debug using lldb. If that happens, you can still run JimDB manually from your ~/.mozbuild folder (you can find the full path in the output below).

$ ./mach run --debug
JimDB (arm) not found: /home/gbrown/.mozbuild/android-device/jimdb-arm does not exist

(gdb)

== Using pre-built binaries ==

=== Instructions ===

# Download the latest pre-built jimdb binaries for your host and device platforms from [https://people.mozilla.org/~nchen/jimdb this directory] (use 'jimdb-arm' for ARM devices and 'jimdb-x86' for x86 devices)
# Download the latest pre-built gdbserver binary for your device platform from [https://people.mozilla.org/~nchen/jimdb the same directory]
# Extract to a user-writable directory
# Replace the gdbserver binary in the jimdb-*/bin/ directory with the one you downloaded separately (it's newer)
# Run 'git pull' from inside the utils/ directory to get the latest scripts
# Launch bin/gdb to start using JimDB!
# OPTIONAL: For easier access, you can create a symlink to jimdb under, e.g., /usr/bin

=== Example ===

For ARM devices on Linux,
cd $HOME
wget https://people.mozilla.org/~nchen/jimdb/jimdb-arm-linux_x64.tar.bz2 # step 1
tar -xf jimdb-arm-linux_x64.tar.bz2 # step 3
cd jimdb-arm/utils && git pull # step 5
../bin/gdb # step 6
sudo ln -s $HOME/jimdb-arm/bin/gdb /usr/bin/jimdb # step 7

If you download the wrong x86 or x64 build, you might get an error like:
$ ./bin/gdb
./bin/gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

== Custom-building ==

=== Step 1. Compiling the binaries ===

There are two things to build here: gdb and gdbserver

==== Linux ====

===== GDB =====

# Clone [https://github.com/darchons/android-gdb the GitHub repo] (do not use the Zip archive, as the build system will try to obtain a git changeset id)
# You may need to install additional packages in order to build GDB. For example,<pre>sudo apt-get build-dep gdb</pre>
# Run configure inside the source directory<pre># ARM:
./configure --target=arm-linux-android --with-python=yes --prefix=/nonexistent \
 --with-gdb-datadir=/nonexistent/utils --with-system-gdbinit=/nonexistent/utils/gdbinit
# x86:
./configure --target=i686-pc-linux-android --with-python=yes --prefix=/nonexistent \
 --with-gdb-datadir=/nonexistent/utils --with-system-gdbinit=/nonexistent/utils/gdbinit</pre>
# Run make <pre>make -j8</pre>
# The compiled binary will be at gdb/gdb
If you see an error like:
<pre>
../../../../bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:325: unknown command `colophon'
../../../../bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:336: unknown command `cygnus'
Makefile:421: recipe for target 'bfd.info' failed
</pre>
you can fix this by running:
<pre>
sed -i -e 's/@colophon/@@colophon/' -e 's/doc@cygnus.com/doc@@cygnus.com/' bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo
</pre>
or by checking out a more recent branch (this bug is in the 7_5 branch).

===== GDBServer =====

Consider using the pre-built gdbserver binary from the "Using pre-built binaries" section above; gdbserver is not specific to your platform. Otherwise,
# Use the source directory from above
# Make sure you have a copy of the Android NDK
# Run configure inside the ''gdb/gdbserver directory'' (following is for NDK r8d)<pre>export NDK=/PATH/TO/NDK
# ARM:
export PATH=$PATH:$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin
./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sysroot=$NDK/platforms/android-9/arch-arm
# x86:
export PATH=$PATH:$NDK/toolchains/x86-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin
./configure --host=i686-linux-android --with-sysroot=$NDK/platforms/android-9/arch-x86</pre>
# Run make <pre>make -j8</pre>
# The compiled binary will be at gdbserver

==== Mac ====

===== GDB =====

# Get a zip of the source from [https://github.com/darchons/android-gdb the GitHub repo] (Get the zip because cloning takes a lot longer)
# Extract the zip
# You may need to install additional packages in order to build GDB. For example,<pre>port install bison flex ncurses texinfo python27</pre>
# Run configure inside the source directory<pre># ARM:
./configure --target=arm-linux-android --with-python=yes --prefix=/nonexistent \
 --with-gdb-datadir=/nonexistent/utils --with-system-gdbinit=/nonexistent/utils/gdbinit
# x86:
./configure --target=i686-pc-linux-android --with-python=yes --prefix=/nonexistent \
 --with-gdb-datadir=/nonexistent/utils --with-system-gdbinit=/nonexistent/utils/gdbinit</pre>
# Run make <pre>make -j8</pre>
# The compiled binary will be at gdb/gdb

===== GDBServer =====

Consider using the pre-built gdbserver binary from the "Using pre-built binaries" section above; gdbserver is not specific to your platform. Otherwise,
# Use the source directory from above
# Make sure you have a copy of the Android NDK
# Run configure inside the ''gdb/gdbserver directory'' (following is for NDK r8d)<pre>export NDK=/PATH/TO/NDK
# ARM:
export PATH=$PATH:$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin
./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sysroot=$NDK/platforms/android-9/arch-arm
# x86:
export PATH=$PATH:$NDK/toolchains/x86-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin
./configure --host=i686-linux-android --with-sysroot=$NDK/platforms/android-9/arch-x86</pre>
# Run make <pre>make -j8</pre>
# The compiled binary will be at gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver

=== Step 2. Creating JimDB directory ===

To get the most out of JimDB, in addition to the binaries, you need the Python scripts. But first, the scripts assume you have the following JimDB directory structure,

./bin/
gdb
gdbserver
./utils/
gdbinit
python/

Therefore, you'd need to,
# Make a JimDB directory
# Copy gdb and gdbserver from steps above to bin/
# Clone the Python scripts to utils/
# Run bin/gdb

For example,
mkdir -p jimdb/bin # step 1
cp /PATH/TO/SOURCE/gdb/gdb jimdb/bin # step 2
cp /PATH/TO/SOURCE/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver jimdb/bin
git clone git://github.com/darchons/android-gdbutils.git jimdb/utils # step 3
jimdb/bin/gdb # step 4

= Using JimDB =

== First run ==

In order to debug Fennec, JimDB needs a copy of your system libraries. When you try to debug Fennec on a particular device for the first time, JimDB will download the libraries from your device. This may take some time but will only need to run once. You may need to restart JimDB in order for debug symbols to work.

== Configuring JimDB ==

utils/gdbinit is the GDB command file that JimDB runs at launch. Open it in your favorite text editor to see configurable settings for JimDB.

utils/gdbinit also loads utils/gdbinit.local. Because utils/gdbinit can change frequently across updates, it's recommended to copy your custom settings to utils/gdbinit.local, so that updates do not override your settings.

For example, to configure the feninit.default.objdir option, paste the following line anywhere inside utils/gdbinit.local,
python feninit.default.objdir = '/home/user/mozilla/central/objdir-android'

== FenInit ==

FenInit is the Python script that simplifies launching Fennec on your device and setting up a debug environment. When JimDB starts, FenInit runs automatically and presents several options,

# Debug Fennec (default)
# Debug Fennec with env vars and args
# Debug using jdb
# Debug content Mochitest
# Debug compiled-code unit test

[[File:Jimdb-prompt.png]]

=== Debug Fennec ===

This is the default option. Once you choose an object directory to use, the script will automatically launch Fennec, and run GDBServer to attach to Fennec.

The script tries to scan your user directory for object directories. For more control, see the [[#feninit.default.objdir|Configuration section]] on how to specify default object directories or where to scan for object directories.

=== Debug Fennec with env vars and args ===

This option gives you the additional ability to specify environment variables and arguments when launching Fennec. See the [[#feninit.default.env|Configuration section]] on how to specify additional default environment variables and arguments.

=== Debug using jdb ===

This option will let you use the Java debugger (jdb) to debug the native Java portion of Fennec. This is the default option if you already have a previous JimDB debugging session running.

JDB support is experimental. It is able to at least set breakpoints, show source code, and examine objects.

=== Debug content Mochitest ===

This option will let you debug a regular Mochitest. Make sure Fennec is compiled with the '--enable-tests' option in the mozconfig file. Because running Mochitests require a copy of the XUL Runtime Environment (XRE), the script will offer to automatically download a copy of XRE for you, as well as launching the test harness. You can specify a file or a directory to test, or set TEST_PATH. Environment variables and arguments to the test harness are also supported.

=== Debug compiled-code unit test ===

This option will let you debug a C++ test. Environment variables and arguments are supported.

=== Configuration ===
==== feninit.default.objdir ====
* Set feninit.default.objdir to the default object directory. Note that once it is set, the script will not prompt you to choose an object directory.
* Alternatively, if your object directories are called 'obj*' under your source directory, you can set feninit.default.objdir to the source directory itself. The script will scan the source directory and list all the object directories that it found.
* Note that there have been problems in the past with using ~ and $HOME in the setting, so use absolute path for best results.
* PRO-TIP: Put the following code block inside gdbinit.local to always use the current directory as the object directory,
python
import os
feninit.default.objdir = os.getcwd()
end

==== feninit.default.srcroot ====
* Unlike the previous setting, feninit.default.srcroot specifies the directory containing all the source directories. This is convenient if you have 'src/mozilla-central', 'src/mozilla-inbound', 'src/mozilla-aurora', etc. In that case, you can set feninit.default.srcroot to 'src' and all the source directories will be scanned for object directories.
* Again, use absolute path for best results.
==== feninit.default.no_launch ====
* This settings is meant for B2G, and may not be useful for Fennec debugging.
==== feninit.default.gdbserver_port ====
* To debug Fennec on your device, GDB on your computer needs to talk to GDBServer on your device through a TCP port forwarded to your device through ADB.
* Normally, JimDB will use a random port. However, you can pick a specific port to use. This is useful in certain situations such as inside an SSH session. See [http://www.jnchen.com/blog/2012/11/tunnelling-adb this blog post].
==== feninit.default.jdwp_port ====
* Similar to feninit.default.gdbserver_port, except for using JDB for debugging.
==== feninit.default.env ====
* Specify the default environment variables to use when launching Fennec. Only used for the "Debug Fennec" options.
==== feninit.default.args ====
* Specify the default arguments to use when launching Fennec. Only used for the "Debug Fennec" options.
==== feninit.default.cpp_env ====
* Similar to [[#feninit.default.env|feninit.default.env]], except only used for the "Debug compiled-code unit test" option.
==== feninit.default.mochi_env ====
* Similar to [[#feninit.default.env|feninit.default.env]], except only used for the "Debug content Mochitest" option.
==== feninit.default.mochi_args ====
* Specify the default arguments to use when debugging Mochitest. Only used for the "Debug content Mochitest" option.
* Note that Mochitest arguments are arguments to the test harness (e.g. --remote-webserver), and not arguments to Fennec itself.
==== feninit.default.mochi_xre ====
* Specify the XRE directory to use, instead of letting the script download and manage an XRE copy.
==== feninit.default.mochi_harness ====
* Specify the directory containing the harness itself, i.e. "runtestsremote.py". Not needed normally.
==== feninit.default.mochi_xre_url ====
* Specify the directory on [https://ftp.mozilla.org ftp.mozilla.org] to use for downloading XRE. Not used if feninit.default.mochi_xre is specified.
==== feninit.default.mochi_xre_update ====
* Specify the XRE check for updates interval. Only used if the script is managing the XRE copy, and not used if feninit.default.mochi_xre_update is specified.

== GDB commands specific to JimDB ==
=== set delay-add-remote-solibs ===
gdb> set delay-add-remote-solibs <0|1>
Default setting is 0. Set delay-add-remote-solibs to 1 to delay loading symbols when shared libraries are loaded. This may improve the set up time. However, you may need to use the "sharedlibrary" command to manually load symbols before using breakpoints.
=== monitor set ignore-ondemand ===
gdb> monitor set ignore-ondemand <0|1>
Default setting is 1. Set ignore-ondemand to 0 to not ignore segmentation faults generated by on-demand decompression. This setting may be needed to debug specific segmentation faults that are inadvertently being ignored. This command can only be run after attaching to the target, so it cannot be specified in gdbinit.local.

= FAQ =

=== What is moz-gdb? ===
* moz-gdb was a synonym for JimDB, but it's no longer used, to avoid confusion

=== "configure: error: failure running python-config" when compiling GDB ===
* python may point to python3 on your machine. You need to specify where python2 is by using, for example, --with-python=python2 in your configure line

=== "error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5" on Linux ===
* You may need to create a libtinfo.so.5 symlink to libncurses.so.5. For example,
sudo ln -s libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

=== "Segmentation fault: 11" or "Illegal instruction: 4" on Mac OS X ===
* This may be due to incompatible OS X SDK versions. You should build your own JimDB binary to avoid the issue.

=== "cannot locate symbol "__exidx_end"" when starting to debug ===
* If you're using pre-built binaries, you need to update to a newer version of JimDB
* If you're using custom-built binaries, you need to recompile gdbserver using a newer version of the NDK

=== "No module named printing" when debugging Fennec with JimDB ===
* The JimDB Python scripts lack several scripts included in regular GDB packages. To fix that, simply copy your local copy of these scripts to the JimDB utils/python directory. For example, on a typical Linux system, run
cp -r /usr/share/gdb/python/gdb $jimdb/utils/python/
* If you don't have these files, they are available [https://people.mozilla.org/~nchen/jimdb/gdb-python-lib.tar.bz2 here]; just extract it under $jimdb/utils/python/

=== Random segmentation faults when debugging Fennec ===
* GDB can catch segmentation faults generated by on-demand decompression; just use "continue" to continue execution.
* Alternatively, specify the "MOZ_LINKER_ONDEMAND=0" environment variable when launching Fennec using Option 2. You can also put the option inside jimdb/utils/gdbinit.local.

=== GDB crashed and Fennec is stuck. Halp!! ===
* GDBServer may still be attached to Fennec but is unable to communicate with GDB; try killing GDBServer
adb shell run-as org.mozilla.fennec_$USER kill `adb shell ps | grep gdb | awk '{print $2}'`

=== "make: `[path]/mochitest-remote' is up to date." while trying to run Mochitests ===
* Delete the mochitest-remote file.

=== "failed to run gdbserver" ===

"gdbserver" output:
/system/bin/sh: /data/local/tmp/gdbserver: not executable: magic 7F45
"run-as" output:
/data/local/tmp/gdbserver[1]: syntax error: '(' unexpected
"su -c" output:
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
[path]/jimdb-x86/bin/../utils/gdbinit:136: Error in sourced command file:
failed to run gdbserver

You are probably trying to run the x86 version on an ARM device. Download the ARM version of JimDB instead.

Alternatively, you may just have an out-of-date version of gdbserver. Check for an updated version in the link posted above.

"gdbserver" output:
error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.

This means your build of gdbserver is too old for the Android version you're debugging on. You may need a newer platform sysroot and/or to add flags to gdb/gdbserver/Makefile to build a position-independent executable.

CFLAGS += -fvisibility=default -fPIE
LDFLAGS += -rdynamic -fPIE -pie

=== JimDB sucks! Halp!! ===
* Come on #mobile on IRC
* Or file a bug under Firefox for Android, JimDB component

=== JimDB is awesome now!! Can I buy you a $beverage? ===
Yes! See also {{bug|800000}}

=== Using `next` to traverse a function sometimes gets stuck with an error like "Unable to find end of function" ===
Try using the env-var MOZ_LINKER_ONDEMAND=0.

=== Execution pauses often for "Program received signal SIG33, Real-time event 33." ===
This should be caught automatically, but try:
handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint

=== "Symbol not found: __PyErr_ReplaceException" ===
You should not use python 2.7.11.

Mobile/Fennec/Android/AdvancedTopics

2016-08-24T00:40:35Z

Rillian: Update PR logging for the change MOZ_LOG.

== Advanced Topics ==

=== Building ===
==== Changing build flags ====
If you need to change any build flags (such as MOZ_SWITCHBOARD), instead of adding changes to the mozconfig and clobbering, you can test by adding the flags to mobile/android/confvars.sh, run
mach configure
then check that the changes are in $OJBDIR/config.status, and then build normally.

==== ccache ====

You can optionally install [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Ccache ccache], which can make rebuilding Firefox faster after you have built it once and don't change (much) of the C++ source code. In general, ccache is not a performance improvement if you use only one object directory, or edit only Java and/or JavaScript source code.

If you want to use ccache, add a line the following to your mozconfig:

ac_add_options --with-ccache[=/optional/path/to/ccache]

The default cache size of 1GB is not large enough for a Fennec build. To fully utilize ccache (generally meaning you can expect full builds to complete in <5 minutes from a populated cache), you'll need to change the cache size to at least 4GB. Do so by running:

ccache --max-size 4G

On Mac OS X, install ccache like:

brew install ccache

On Debian-like Linuxes, install ccache using:

sudo apt-get install mercurial ccache

==== Building for the x86 architecture ====

If you want to build for x86, substitute:

ac_add_options --target=i386-linux-android

for the target specified above. Note: you cannot use <tt>ac_add_options --disable-optimize</tt> when building for x86. See {{bug|965870}}.

==== Building Gingerbread-only ====
For legacy Gingerbread devices, there is a Gingerbread-only build that is optimized for performance and apk size for older devices but does not include some of the newer features that are available.

To make a Gingerbread-only build, you need to use a different [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-api-9-10-constrained/nightly mozconfig].

==== Building for the ARMv6 architecture ====

'''ARMv6 is no longer a supported target as of Firefox 33.'''

If you want to build for ARMv6 instead of ARMv7 (only required for very old, very low end phones), add:

ac_add_options --with-arch=armv6

==== Unsupported build flags ====

Do '''not''' specify these flags because the resulting build will cause out-of-memory crashes:

ac_add_options --disable-install-strip # Do not use!

==== Updating the builders` SDK ====
i.e. Nightly builds & treeherder. See [[Mobile/Fennec/Android/Updating_SDK_on_builders]].

=== Multilocale builds ===
Currently, multilocale only works with a full build. Due to some issues, multilocale artifact build is not supported and you will encounter make target build error when attempting to do so.

Assumptions
* $AB_CD is the locale you want to repack with
* objdir-frontend is the directory you specified in your mozconfig, replace this with the object directory you are using

Before starting, make sure you are in the parent directory of mozilla-central repo
mkdir -p l10n # this should be a sibling directory to mozilla-central
cd l10n
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/$AB_CD
cd ../mozilla-central

Edit your mozconfig to include the following options and input the values you want
# Edit to include only locales you want to build. Exception is 'en-US' must always be included!
mk_add_options 'export MOZ_CHROME_MULTILOCALE=en-US fr'

# Use absolute paths to the directory that houses your locale repos
mk_add_options 'export L10NBASEDIR=/absolute/path/to/l10n'
ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=/absolute/path/to/l10n

Build, merge, chrome, package, install for each locale you want with the following steps:
mach configure
mach build
make -C objdir-frontend/mobile/android/locales chrome-$AB_CD LOCALE_MERGEDIR=/absolute/path/to/repo/objdir-frontend/merge-$AB_CD
mach package
mach install

Rebuild with another locale

In mozconfig, edit MOZ_CHROME_MULTILOCALE option to the locale you want

mach configure
mach build mobile/android
make -C objdir-frontend/mobile/android/locales chrome-$AB_CD LOCALE_MERGEDIR=/absolute/path/to/repo/objdir-frontend/merge-$AB_CD
mach package
mach install

=== Single-locale language repacks ===

There is a script in mozharness for this (scripts/mobile_l10n.py) but it relies on buildbot information so it's not suitable for local repacks.

This assumes that $(AB_CD) is the locale you want to repack with; I tested with "ar" and "en-GB".

* clone l10n-central/$(AB_CD) so that it is a sibling of your mozilla-central directory
* I assume your object directory is "objdir-droid" and that you have built and packaged already
make -f client.mk && make -C objdir-droid package
* copy your .mozconfig to .mozconfig.l10n and add the following lines
# L10n
ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=../../l10n-central

# Global options
ac_add_options --disable-tests

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=./objdir-l10n
* cd to mozilla-central
* configure and prepare objdir-l10n
MOZCONFIG=.mozconfig.l10n make -f client.mk configure
make -C objdir-l10n/config
* copy your built package into objdir-l10n
cp ./objdir-droid/dist/fennec-*en-US*.apk ./objdir-l10n/dist
* unpack. This files objdir-l10n/dist with the bits of the APK, ready for re-assembling.
make -C objdir-l10n/mobile/android/locales unpack
* compare locales (you may need to install the compare-locales tool first). This writes locale differences into objdir-l10n/merged.
compare-locales -m objdir-l10n/merged mobile/android/locales/l10n.ini ../l10n-central $(AB_CD)
* finally, re-assemble with the locale differences
LOCALE_MERGEDIR=objdir-l10n/merged make -C objdir-l10n/mobile/android/locales installers-$(AB_CD)

You should find an APK at "objdir-l10n/dist/fennec-*$(AB_CD)*.apk".

==== Enabling C++ debugging ====

If you want to create a build suitable for debugging the C++ code, add:
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-debug-symbols

=== Troubleshooting ===

===== Don't set CC / CXX environmental variables =====

If you've set the environmental variables CC and CXX (e.g. via .bash_aliases or via your mozconfig), then you probably need to unset them before building for Android, or else your build may fail with something like:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -mandroid -fno-short-enums (etc etc)) works... no

followed by errors about "C compiler cannot create executables", "Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)", and "crtbegin_dynamic.o: error adding symbols: File in wrong format". This is a sign that you're compiling with your platform's native compiler (due to having CC / CXX set), instead of the android-specific GCC version that ships with the NDK. See {{bug|977817}} for more details; as noted there, the build system may trust your custom CC & CXX variables, when you probably don't want it to.

=== Coding Caveats ===
==== Closing resources ====
When handling resources (like Cursors), a try/finally block should be used to ensure these are closed properly. For example:

final Cursor c = getCursor();
try {
useCursorWhichMightThrowException(c);
} catch (SomeSpecificException sse) {
log(sse);
} finally {
c.close();
}

Once the try block is entered, the finally block will *always* get executed upon exit of the try block. The one exception is if there is a System.exit call inside the try block, which immediately exits the program and makes everything moot anyway. The finally block will get executed on caught and uncaught exceptions, as well as normal returns.

If you are casting the resource to something, make sure that you do the cast inside the try block, like so:

// GOOD!
InputStream is = getInputStream();
try {
FileInputStream fis = (FileInputStream) is;
...
} finally {
...
}

rather than doing this:

// BAD!
FileInputStream fis = (FileInputStream) getInputStream();
try {
...
} finally {
...
}

This is so that in case of ClassCastExceptions you don't get a dangling open resource left behind.

==== Timing ====

TLDR: Google recommends using SystemClock.uptimeMillis() for general purpose interval timing of user interface events or performance measurements. If you're adding stuff for timing, use SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), rather than something like new Date().getTime().

Normally in Java the default time-getter is System.currentTimeMillis() since it avoids the overhead of creating a new Date object. This is also what new Date() does under the hood. However, currentTimeMillis() and the Date object are both subject to change in unexpected ways if the user changes the time on their device, or if daylight savings comes into effect, or there's a network time update, or whatever. So Android has generously provided android.os.SystemClock which has various functions that you can use to get a better timestamp. Refer to the class javadoc and pick whichever function is most suitable for what you're trying to measure.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/SystemClock.html

== Advanced Debugging ==
Beyond just using Android logcat, there are other options for debugging Firefox for Android, depending on your needs.

=== Logcat apps ===
==== ICS (4.1) and below ====
* Install the [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogCat] app. Use it to capture logs and attach the logs to bugs.

Once you have alogcat installed, just use Fennec as you would normally. Upon encountering a bug or issue, start the aLogcat app (as soon as possible after seeing the Fennec issue) and select "Share" or "Save" from the menu to send it via email or save it to the SD card. The log can then be attached to a bug or sent to a developer. As with adb logcat, it is better to have a log with timestamps than without timestamps. To enable timestamps in the log, select "Preferences" from the aLogcat menu, and change the "Format?" option to "Time".

If you need to, you can search for some kinds of Fennec-related output by using the "Filter" menu item and entering "Gecko". However, when submitting logs for bug reports, please make sure you clear the filter and include all of the available log data.

==== Jelly Bean (4.2) and above ====
* Install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/logview/ LogView add-on]
* Root the device and use the [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogCat] app as above.

=== JavaScript dump() ===

To use the dump() function in JavaScript to write to the log:

# Go to about:config and set browser.dom.window.dump.enabled to "true"
# Run the following ADB commands:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop log.redirect-stdio true
adb shell start

=== Using JimDB ===

See [[Mobile/Fennec/Android/GDB]]

=== Using Debug Intent ===

'''Note: this is not useful with JimDB. If you want to use JimDB, just start it.'''

In order to attach before things get running, launch with:

adb shell am start -a org.mozilla.gecko.DEBUG -n org.mozilla.fennec_foobar/.App

(Replace foobar by your username)

and just click launch once gdb is attached. If you need to debug a crash that happens before XRE_Main is called, the patch on {{bug|572247}} may be useful.

this script [http://dump.lassey.us/debug.sh] will attach gdbserver for you

=== Getting dalvik java stack dumps using gdb ===

(gdb) call dvmDumpAllThreads(true)

this will dump a stack trace to logcat

Note: this will only work if you have symbols for dalvik.

=== Debugging with jdb ===

JimDB can now launch JDB integration

You can also use eclipse for debugging in a similar way by setting up for debugging "Remote Java application".

=== Debugging with eclipse ===

You need to find the PID of your fennec process. Forward it to a local TCP socket as in "Debugging with jdb."

In Eclipse switch to the debug perspective. Go to Run > Debug configurations... Remote Java Application. Change the port to the TCP port you specified in your adb command. Under Source, navigate to your checkout, then into mobile/android.

Eclipse looks for source code in a specific location. You need to create the directory hierarchy:
<code>
mobile
/android
/org
mozilla/
gecko -> ../../base</code>

That is, in mozilla-central/mobile/android, create org/mozilla, and put the symlink gecko pointing to mozilla-central/mobile/android/base.

You may also want to add more debugging information and can do that like this:
diff --git a/config/android-common.mk b/config/android-common.mk
index 4591239..a47726a 100644
--- a/config/android-common.mk
+++ b/config/android-common.mk

-classpath $(JAVA_CLASSPATH) \
-bootclasspath $(JAVA_BOOTCLASSPATH) \
-encoding UTF8 \
- -g:source,lines \
+ -g:source,lines,vars \

$(NULL)

=== Arguments and Environment Variables ===

If you need to set an environment variable at run time, append '''--es env# VAR=VAL''' to your activity manager command where # is the ordered number of variables for example:

adb shell am start -a android.activity.MAIN -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App --es env0 VAR=val --es env1 FOO=bar

If you need to pass arguments at run time, append '''--es args "<your-args>"''' to your activity manager command. For example, to launch with a specific profile:

adb shell am start -a android.activity.MAIN -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App --es args "--profile /mnt/sdcard/myprofile"

To launch with a specific URL, use the am -d option to set the intent's data URI:

adb shell am start -a android.activity.MAIN -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App -d 'http://www.mozilla.org'

=== C++ Logging ===

You can use the env vars as described above to enable MOZ_LOG logging from C++ code:

adb shell am start -a android.activity.MAIN -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App --es env0 MOZ_LOG=all:5 --es env1 MOZ_LOG_FILE=/mnt/sdcard/log.txt

If no file is specified, logging is directed to the android logs:

adb shell am start -a android.activity.MAIN -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App --es env0 MOZ_LOG=all:5

Look for lines marked "Gecko" with one of the requested log keys in the adb logcat output.

=== Using legacy GDB (non-JimDB) ===

See [[Mobile/Fennec/Android/GDBNoRoot|Fennec/Android/GDBNoRoot]]

=== Reading back the framebuffer ===
If you need to verify what is in the back buffer at a particular time, you can cleverly call functions from gdb to allocate memory, read back, and write that to disk.

You need to know the size of your framebuffer a priori; in this case, it's 480x699.

You also need to know what the GL enum values are, because unless you compile with -ggdb, you don't have #defines available to you in the debugger. Very helpful information: GL_RGBA = 0x1908, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE = 0x1401. The rest you can find in gfx/gl/GLDefs.h.

You '''should''' be able to call glReadPixels directly, but in my experience that causes Fennec to crash. However, if you have a GLContext* lying around, as you often do, you can work around that problem.

<pre>(gdb) set $m = (int*)malloc(480*699*4)
(gdb) call aManager->mGLContext.mRawPtr->fReadPixels(0, 0, 480, 699, 0x1908, 0x1401, (void*)$m)
(gdb) set $f = fopen("/sdcard/outputfile", "wb+")
(gdb) call fwrite($m, 1, 480*699*4, $f)
$7 = 1342080
(gdb) call fclose($f)
$8 = 0</pre>

Now there is a file called /sdcard/outputfile that you can adb pull. But since it's just raw RGBA values, you need to be able to wrap that in PNG headers to display it. [https://github.com/jrmuizel/minpng/blob/master/minpng.h Jeff Muizelaar wrote a header called minpng.h that you can use to do so.]

Get Jeff's minpng.h, and put it in a directory along with a driver c program:

<pre>#include "minpng.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
FILE* f = fopen(argv[1], "rb");

=== Using Rendertrace (Maple) ===

Rendertrace is a utility that will dump layer position and timing information (such as drawing, upload) to the console. This information can pasted into the rendertrace web front end to visualize the layer position and event timeline. This will let you understand where you're gecko is spending its time and why were checkerboarding.

To enable go in 'gfx/layers/RenderTrace.h' and uncomment '#define MOZ_RENDERTRACE'. Rebuild and run 'adb logcat | grep RENDERTRACE', paste the result in http://people.mozilla.org/~bgirard/rendertrace.html and hit 'reload'. For details talk to BenWa.

=== Using apitrace ===

Apitrace is a tool for tracing GL/EGL calls for debugging purposes. It basically uses an interim shared library called libapitrace that contains shadow gl* and egl* functions, which then get logged and then passed through to the real driver.

Use apitrace from https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace to build for desktop and android.

<pre>
apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev libgles1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libqt4-dev cmake
git clone https://github.com/gw280/apitrace.git
cd apitrace

# Build for Android
cmake -DANDROID_NDK=/path/to/your/ndk -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=android/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_API_LEVEL=9 -Bbuild-android -H.
make -C build-android -j8

# Build for desktop
cmake -H. -Bbuild
make -C build -j8

export EGL_SOFTWARE=true
./build/eglretrace -v /path/to/your/apitrace_log.trace
</pre>

The Android build will create egltrace.so in build-android/wrappers, which you can then push to your device to /data/local:

<pre>
adb push build-android/wrappers/egltrace.so /data/local/tmp
</pre>

Restarting Fennec will cause it to load the apitrace library and the apitrace log will be saved to /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_username/firefox.trace

You can then adb pull /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_username/firefox.trace and analyse it on your desktop.

You can also use qapitrace as a GUI to inspect your trace files. (be sure to switch qapitrace to the EGL api using the options dialog)

These instructions provide a trace that does not include the Java GL code. To get traces including java code is more complicated. You need to use
the patch from this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749859 and this version of https://github.com/ideak/apitrace/tree/dev. Further, you'll need to build your own image/modify the current one to replace /init.rc. You also need to disable hardware acceleration of the UI (https://bug746703.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=619009) Ask jrmuizel for more information if you want to do this.

=== about:memory ===
about:memory provides heaps (ha!) of useful memory information.

You can obtain a snapshot of memory info from a running Fennec instance using:

adb shell am broadcast -a org.mozilla.gecko.MEMORY_DUMP

This dumps a json file to the SD card and prints out the exact filename to logcat. You can pull the json file to desktop using

adb pull <absolute-path-to-file>

and view it in firefox's about:memory: use the "Read reports from a file" option at the bottom of the about:memory page.

=== Profiling ===

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/Profiling.

=== Tweaking UI prefs ===
By default, all of these prefs are set to "-1" in Fennec, meaning they take the values listed below, which are maintained in Axis.java.

Fractional values are specified in 1/1000th of a value; to specify a value of 0.3, write 300.

Note: You need to restart Fennec after changing these values.

{|
! Pref !! Default value !! Description !!
|-
| ui.scrolling.friction_slow || 850 || This fraction in 1000ths of velocity remains after every animation frame when the velocity is low.||
|-
| ui.scrolling.friction_fast || 970 || This fraction in 1000ths of velocity remains after every animation frame when the velocity is high.||
|-
| ui.scrolling.velocity_threshold || 10 || Below this velocity (in pixels per frame), the friction changes from friction_fast to friction_slow.||
|-
| ui.scrolling.max_event_acceleration || 12 || The maximum velocity change factor between events, per ms, in 1000ths. ||
|-
| ui.scrolling.overscroll_decel_rate || 40 || The rate of deceleration when the surface has overscrolled, in 1000ths. ||
|-
| ui.scrolling.overscroll_snap_limit || 300 || The fraction of the surface which can be overscrolled before it must snap back, in 1000ths. ||
|-
| ui.scrolling.min_scrollable_distance || 500 || The minimum amount of space that must be present for an axis to be considered scrollable, in 1/1000ths of pixels. ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy || 1 || The strategy we use to determine how display ports are calculated. 0 = fixed margin, 1 = velocity bias, 2 = dynamic resolution, 3 = no margins ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_fm.multiplier || 1500 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 0 (fixed margin), the 1000th of each dimension of the viewport the displayport is sized to. ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_fm.danger_x || 100 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 0 (fixed margin), the 1000th of the width of the viewport the horizontal danger zone is set to.

Danger zone is defined as the space at the edge of the viewport at which the viewport (and hence displayport) starts being changed.
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_fm.danger_y || 200 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 0 (fixed margin), the 1000th of the height of the viewport the vertical danger zone is set to. ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_vb.multiplier || 1500 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 1 (velocity bias), the 1000th of each dimension of the viewport the displayport is sized to. ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_vb.threshold || 32 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 1 (velocity bias), the threshold for velocity, in pixels/frame, when multiplied by the screen DPI. ||
|-
| gfx.displayport.strategy_vb.reverse_buffer || 200 || When gfx.displayport.strategy = 1 (velocity bias), the fraction of the buffer (in 1000ths) to be kept in the direction opposite the direction of the scroll. ||
|-
|}

=== Invalidate the JavaScript startup cache ===

To make life easier for developers, '''in local development builds only''', {{bug|976216}} invalidates the JavaScript startup cache every time Firefox for Android starts. On non-local development builds (including TBPL builds and try builds), the JavaScript startup cache is not invalidated at startup.

Background: JavaScript files and modules (like <code>browser.js</code>) are cached for fast startup. The cache is invalidated only when an internal build ID is updated, which only happens when certain C++ code is rebuilt. That doesn't happen for most patches that only touch Java and JavaScript within <code>mobile/android</code>. See {{bug|695145}} for the details of this build ID handling. If you happen to be building a non-local development build in some way, you might need to invalidate the JavaScript startup cache by touching <code>toolkit/xre/nsAndroidStartup.cpp</code> and rebuilding libxul.

=== killer script ===

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
echo "usage: $0 packagename.of.your.activity"
echo "for example:"
echo " $0 org.mozilla.fennec"
exit
fi

p=`adb shell ps | grep $1 | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$p" = "" ];
then
echo "ERROR: That doesn't seem to be a running process. Please make sure your"
echo "application has been started and that you are using the correct"
echo "namespace argument."
exit
fi

adb shell run-as $1 kill $p

=== .gdbinit ===

This is an example .gdbinit that uses the symbols from a locally built rom and automatically attaches to gdbserver. Note that putting a ''.gdbinit'' file inside a directory will make gdb load it thus you will not pollute your regular gdb init with those configurations.

set solib-search-path /home/blassey/android/system/out/target/product/passion/symbols/system/bin:/home/blassey/android/system/out/target/product/passion/symbols/system/lib/:/home/blassey/src/ndk5-m-c/objdir-droid-dbg/dist/bin
set solib-absolute-prefix /home/blassey/android/system/out/target/product/passion/symbols/system/lib/
target remote localhost:12345

=== Rooting Android devices ===

See [[Mobile/Fennec/Android/Rooting|Rooting Android Devices]].

=== Sign a Fennec build ===
Nightly builds are available unsigned, so that you can sign them with your local debug key and install them on top of your own debug builds (without uninstalling and losing your profile). To sign and install the unsigned nightly build:

wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-r7/gecko-unsigned-unaligned.apk
jarsigner -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android gecko-unsigned-unaligned.apk androiddebugkey
zipalign -f -v 4 gecko-unsigned-unaligned.apk gecko-signed-aligned.apk
adb install -r gecko-signed-aligned.apk

Or you can also re-sign a signed build. If "fennec.apk" is signed already, this will remove the signature and replace it with your own. The result will be saved as "fennec-resigned.apk":

zip fennec.apk -d META-INF/*
jarsigner -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android fennec.apk androiddebugkey
zipalign -f -v 4 fennec.apk fennec-resigned.apk

If you get this error when you try to sign a package:

jarsigner: unable to sign jar: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry compressed size (expected 16716 but got 16964 bytes)

You should to follow some steps to complete your task:

* rename the .apk to .zip
* unzip the file in some folder
* remove the METAINF folder
* zip the remaining files
* change the name .zip to .apk
* sign again

To verify if everything is alright use the command

jarsigner -verbose -verify

=== Useful Addons ===
There are some addons which may be useful for development purposes. See [[Mobile/Fennec/Android/Development/Addons]].

Rillian: Add contacts for MozillaYVR

irc #github on [[IRC|moznet]]
|}

== Recommendations and FAQ ==

=== Where should I ask additional questions? ===
* Send an email to '''{{emailentry|github-owners|mozilla.org|at=is}}''' and we'll respond right away! We're also available on #github on irc.

=== How do I hook up a new 3rd party application to a repository in the mozilla org? ===
3rd party applications can easily impact many other repositories than the initial one. For that reason, the following steps are strongly encouraged:
# Create yourself a new github user for this repository.
# Make them an admin of the repository(s) temporarily.
# Sign in as the new github user and setup the 3rd party application.
# Log back into your normal account.
# Try to reduce access of that user from an admin of the repository(s) to read only access.
# If (5) doesn't work, at least the 3rd party application will not have access to all of your normal github account's (including private repositories).

* Authorizing an application to work with GitHub utilizes the permissions your account has -- so, any repositories you have access to the application will have access to as well (including private ones). If you want to grant access to an application that no one else has used with the Mozilla organization yet you'll see a "Request access" button during the set up flow. You'll need to click that button to request approval. See below for an example:

[[File:github_approval.png]]

* In some cases, the application does not need to be "approved" to function correctly, as it has read only access to any public repository. (Some applications only want write access to help you configure the application first time.)

* In other cases, the application does need write permission, and/or permission to read a private repository. In these cases, it is helpful to send the details to the owner's team, either by [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?comment=I%27ve%20read%20https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.mozilla.org%2FGithub%2C%20and%20need%20help%20with%20the%20following.%0D%0A%0D%0A&component=Github%3A%20Administration&form_name=enter_bug&product=mozilla.org& opening a bug] or [[#contact|email]].

=== Reviewing owners and permissions ===
As an owner or repository admin you're responsible for maintaining the list of people with access to your projects. Please be active and prudent about maintaining this list.

=== Can I be an Owner of the Mozilla Organization? ===
The Owners group on github has complete administrative power and will be limited to a minimal number of people and reviewed regularly. If a person is an owner they are expected to actively participate in the group and assist others as requested. Owners will be added as a need arises (for example, support in another timezone) as determined by the current owners.

All owners '''must''' have 2FA enabled for their GitHub login. (Everyone else ''should''.)

=== Can I be a Member of the Mozilla Organization? ===
With recent github enhancements (2015), we encourage the following (rough) guidelines, which strongly prefers using github teams. As a reminder, all members of the [https://github.com/mozilla/ Mozilla organization on github] agree to be bound by [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/commit/requirements/ Mozilla's Commit Access Requirements], and should follow the intent of the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/commit/access-policy/ Mozilla's Commit Access Policy] as much as practical.
* "Outside Collaborator": repository admins can grant outside collaborator to any github account. "Outside Collaborator" is roughly analogous to "Level 1a" access to Mozilla hosted repositories.
* "Team Member": team maintainers can add github users to a team, if they are already a member of the organization. If you are not yet a member of the organization, the team maintainer should [[#contact|request your addition]] to their team, as a form of vouching. "Team Member" is roughly analogous to "Level 2" or "Level 3", with the distinction being the content of the repositories managed by the team.

Some people are interested in being members of the Mozilla organization on github as a way to highlight their contributions to the Mozilla Project. Thanks for your help! And there is a [https://www.mozilla.org/credits/ better place] to highlight your work. Please refer to the [https://www.mozilla.org/credits/FAQ FAQ] for that process.

=== Should I make a separate github organization or just create a repository in an existing one? ===
This is a personal preference. If you have a large enough project or organization feel free. We suggest you use the strategies and recommendations here as a model to manage the details.

=== Forking vs Transferring ===
'''Do not "fork" a repository into a Mozilla organization.''' Doing so gives ''every team in the org'' rights to it.

If you have created a repo on your own account (for example, myuser/myrepo) and it should live under the Mozilla organization, here are the steps:

# If you're not a member of any team, talk to an [[#contact|org admin]].
# Under the repo admin, transfer ownership to the Mozilla organization. If you don't see this option, return to step 1.
# Choose which teams should be given access. All chosen teams will have only 'read' access at this point.
# Ask an [[#contact|org admin]] to grant team permissions higher than read ('write' and 'admin' are the other choices). (Team maintainers do not have the ability to change a repositories status.)
# Fork the repo from Mozilla (mozilla/myrepo) back to your account (recreating myuser/myrepo). While the transferred repo becomes the root of the network on Github (e.g. all forks are now forks of mozilla/myrepo) other users may be pointing to your repo by URL. (Optional, github will redirect old URLs for transfers, but you probably want a local repo if you use the PR workflow.)

=== Do I need to be an owner to create repositories? ===
No. If a person has read/write access to another repository in that organization they can make more repositories in that organization. However, it's preferred that you create repositories in the context of a team.

=== Are there requirements for when or how I should create a new team? ===
No. When requirements were proposed they all seemed too rigid and time consuming. Instead we recommend staying flexible and using good naming and documentation for projects (similar to naming CSS classes or variables).

On large teams we recommend you separate teams for read/write and repository administration.

<div id="other_github"></div>
=== Is "mozilla" the only github "organization" related to Mozilla? ===
No, there are plenty of Mozilla-related "organizations" on github. As a rule of thumb, initiatives that create a large number of sub-repositories will create their own "organization". Here is a (probably incomplete) list of them:

Some teams us the priority field to sort bugs.

* P1 - Fix immediately
* P2 - Needs to be fixed, but not urgent
* P3 - Would like to fix, but waiting for resources (optional)

Rillian: /* Start to build flatfish */ Update text to match new build env

= Developing for the Tablet =
The primary Firefox OS build documentation, including pre-requisites, set-up, building, flashing, and FAQs are all available at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OSThis is meant to be a quick reference guide specific to the Tablet Contribution Program and the first tablet device which is named in the project as "flatfish".

Here's a great [https://speakerdeck.com/eragonj/introduction-to-firefox-osintroductory slide deck on hacking Firefox OS].

== Preparation ==
The following instructions of this document are all verified on Ubuntu 12.04 & 12.10 and also Mac OS.
# Firefox OS (B2G) environment, including Android ADB and fastboot https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites<code>sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils</code>
# Create an account in github https://github.com/

=== Gotcha: udev rules for Linux ===

When building on Linux, you may need to manually set up udev rules as noted in the above directions. Beware that the Flatfish appears to report different USB vendor IDs depending on whether it's already booted up or in the fastboot mode! You may need to add both of these udev rules in order to do a full system flash:

<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
</pre>

== Download B2G and AOSP source codes of flatfish ==
# git clone b2g scripts and config files<code>git clone git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G.git -b master b2g_flatfish</code>
# configure flatfish and repo sync aosp and b2g source codes<code>cd b2g_flatfish</code><code>./config.sh flatfish</code>You have to wait for a long while to download the source codes depending on the network bandwidth. The files will need approx. 11gb disc space.

== Start to build flatfish ==
# Connect flatfish device for extract necessary files at first build The first build will pull necessary files into backup-flatfish which is automatic created by extract-files.sh. You DO NOT need to connect flatfish device if backup-flatfish is created.
# How to build all of B2GFor flatfish, we need some prefix to support tablet distribution and enable some functions. GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tablet is used for supporting tablet distribution of gaia (older versions used GAIA_DISTRIBUTION_DIR=distribution_tablet instead). B2G_SYSTEM_APPS=1 is for moving webapp from /data to /system, and B2G_UPDATER=1 is enable OTA.<code>GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tablet B2G_SYSTEM_APPS=1 B2G_UPDATER=1 ./build.sh</code>Building whole system might take a long time, you can take a rest or try to build gecko/gaia if you just modify gecko/gaia.
# How to build Gecko or Gaia onlyGecko only<code>B2G_UPDATER=1 ./build.sh gecko</code>Gaia only<code>GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tablet B2G_SYSTEM_APPS=1 ./build.sh gaia</code>

== Flash the images you build ==
Please make sure adb can connect to your device successfully before flash images. You can do simple test to check adb connection, you will see something like “FLATFISH_123456 device” after typo “adb devices” if adb connection successfully.
# Flash whole images<code>./flash.sh</code>
# Flash gecko only<code>./flash.sh gecko</code>
# Flash gaia only<code>./flash.sh gaia</code>

=== Flashing problems ===

If you have problems with the flashing process failing with timeout errors try disabling any USB 3.0 controllers in the BIOS

If your tablet becomes bricked, please follow the steps in [[User:Caspy7/Recovering a disabled Flatfish Tablet]] to reflash your device.

If you need the driver for your Windows computer, see this [http://megaswf.com/file/2672515 Jing] for instructions.

== Contributing your code ==

You can either submit a GitHub pull request or file a bug in Bugzilla with a patch. However, you should almost certainly first discuss it with the B2G or Gaia teams. See the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developing_Firefox_OS/Quickstart_guide_to_Gaia_development#Contributing_code_back_to_the_project MDN documentation on contributing to Gaia].
