Using Bugzilla
TODO
Using Mercurial
Mozilla's development process is very much patch driven. [Mercurial Patch Queues], although a bit awkward to use at times, fit this process rather well. It is recommended you familiarize yourself with them and use them.
Configuration
Marco Bonardo has some [purpose tips] for Mozilla developers on how to format patches before uploading them to Bugzilla.
Essentially it is recommended you put the following in your ~/.hgrc:
[ui] username = Your Name <you@mozilla.com> [extensions] hgext.mq = [diff] git = 1 unified = 8 [defaults] diff = -pU8 qdiff = -pU8 qnew = -U qseries = -sv
Repositories
fx-sync
Sync is primarily developed in the [[1]] repository. Things that live there:
- The Services client libraries in services/crypto/ and services/sync.
- The Firefox Sync add-on in addon/*
- The Firefox 3.x and Fennec 1.x UIs for the Sync add-on in ui/*
mozilla-central
mozilla-central is the repository for Firefox and the base repository for other Mozilla-based applications. How mozilla-central is relevant to Sync:
- The client library is periodically merged from fx-sync to mozilla-central.
- The integrated UI for Firefox Sync lives in browser/base/*, along with the rest of the Firefox UI.
