This avoids duplicating the logic from SimplePackager to find base
directories, and fixes some cases where the l10n repack code wouldn't
find them properly.
Bug 910660 added a consistency check that rejects cases where a manifest
inside a directory detected as being the base of an addon is included from
outside the addon. Unfortunately, this triggered false positives when
a manifest is included from within the addon, but just happens to be at
the top-level of that addon.
This avoids duplicating the logic from SimplePackager to find base
directories, and fixes some cases where the l10n repack code wouldn't
find them properly.
Some file types, such as XPTFile, read their associated data during the
copy. In the case of XPTFiles, several original files are linked together
in one destination file. When a FileCopier is used in-place, those
original files are removed before XPTFile.copy is invoked, so XPTFile.copy
fails.
Generally speaking, there are many other reasons why FileCopier can fail
in-place, but the only active use of this mode is l10n repack code, which
actually doesn't do much of the dangerous uses. However, it can end up
linking XPTFiles for some reason, which fails for the reasons given above.
Back when mozpack.path was added, it was used as:
import mozpack.path
mozpack.path.func()
Nowadays, the common idiom is:
import mozpack.path as mozpath
mozpath.func()
because it's shorter.
$ git grep mozpath\\. | wc -l
423
$ git grep mozpack.path\\. | wc -l
123
This change was done with:
$ git grep -l mozpack.path\\. | xargs sed -i 's/mozpack\.path\./mozpath./g'
$ git grep -l 'import mozpack.path$' | xargs sed -i 's/import mozpack.path$/\0 as mozpath/'
$ (pat='import mozpack.path as mozpath'; git grep -l "$pat" | xargs sed -i "1,/$pat/b;/$pat/d")
We're using as many defaults from the configure step as we can. We're also opinionated upon the defaults, but obviously allow most compare-locales options to be specified.
There are two exceptions:
Reference language is specified to be en-US, without optional argument. This is our in-tree command, and the reference language is known.
We always clobber the merge dir, and don't give an option not to. We default to a merge dir in the objdir, so we don't need to be that paranoid as in the standalone version.
Also, compare-locales clobbers merge-dir/browser etc, so you're not going to get / removed.
