What does patcher2 do ?

The config file specifies

  • a <current-update> block - a pair of releases to build a partial update between, with associated URLs, channels, and properties that will end up in the snippets offered to the app
  • a series of past-update definitions, which list previous update versions and channels
  • a <release> block for each release on the 'stable branch', giving their platform-buildID pairs, a list of locales, file locations

patcher2 can

  • download the source and build all the tools it needs generate partial updates (it downloads way more than it needs)
