This bumps the NDK version to r10e.
Previously, we used brew to install android-sdk and a custom version
of android-ndk. That makes it hard to control the installed versions.
This installs from downloaded archives, which unifies the Mac OS X
approach with the straight-forward Linux approach.
Previously, we used a PPA on Ubuntu to install Mercurial. The PPA has
proved to be unreliable. Furthermore, we didn't have a mechanism for
installing a modern Mercurial on Debian and other derived distros.
In this commit, we remove the PPA from Ubuntu. We add the ability to
install Mercurial from pip to the Debian bootstrapper. However, since
some people may not want <not apt> installing package-like things,
we add a prompt explaining the situation and giving users a choice.
We recommend installing a modern Mercurial via pip. But we also given
the option to install a likely legacy version via apt. And, for Git
users, we give the option to not install Mercurial at all.
Since the new version of the Ubuntu bootstrapper is empty, it doesn't
need to exist, so it has been removed.
DONTBUILD (NPOTB)
Interactive prompts make automation more difficult for developers looking to stand up machines using bootstrap en masse.
Two new options have been added to allow users with such needs to bypass all prompts: one for selecing an application
(desktop/mobile) and another for assuming yes to all questions posed by package managers (apt-get/yum).
This does two things. First, it aligns the brew formula name
(AndroidNdk) with the brew file name (android-ndk.rb). Second, it
makes sure that we actually find the android-ndk.rb file. I think
|mach bootstrap| always worked, due to a felicity where the working
directory always contained android-ndk.rb; but |python bootstrap.py|
failed because android-ndk.rb was downloaded to a temporary location
that was not included in the |brew install| command.
Pushing on a CLOSED TREE because this is NPOTB.
The custom brew formula is a lightly edited version of an earlier
revision of brew's android-ndk.rb. It's not clear that using a custom
brew formula for the Android SDK version r8e is better than using the
existing android Python module for installing the SDK and the NDK, but
it's done now and works locally. If we really wanted to avoid shipping
it, we could probably arrange to land it in
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions.
I see no easy way to install the Java 1.7 JDK with macports, so in the
spirit of the good now being better than the perfect later, I've
punted. (I don't see an Android NDK package either, but that
functionality exists in Python.) Patches wanted!
This adds a generic android Python module that handles:
* downloading and unpacking Google's Android SDK and NDK bundles;
* using the |android| tool to install additional Android packages;
* printing a mozconfig snippet suitable for mobile/android builds.
Python 2.6.1 is what ships on OS X 10.6 and we want to support mozboot
there.
We include 3 fixes:
1) optparse doesn't like unicode as its initial argument
2) __init__(**kwargs) doesn't like unicode keys
3) subprocess does not have check_output
We took the easy solution of removing unicode_literals. This should have
no significant consequences.
