It would be desirable if the kinto version of the OneCRL Certificate blocklist did not need to fetch initial data from the kinto server.

The blocklist.xml used by the AMO version of OneCRL is shipped with products; we need a similar mechanism which allows initial versions to be read from a user's profile.
Depends on: 1227877
Summary: Provide a mechanism to populate a kinto collection with initial records → Provide a mechanism to populate the OneCRL kinto collection with initial records
This makes use of the kinto.js loadDump feature to populate the OneCRL
collection with initial data from application defaults. This also includes a
modified moz-kinto-client.js because there was an issue with the loadDump
implementation in the FirefoxStorage adapter that caused breakage with empty
collections.

This is more a feedback? than r? since I know I have to provide initial data for, e.g. fennec.

Can you document here, or in a README next to the file:

* What this file is
* When and how new versions are added
* Risks of making changes
* How to verify that a change is correct

?

Should this be CurProcD or XCurProcD? The latter is overrideable.

And should this be based on GreD instead? I think CurProcD will not be what you want sometimes.

I think this will work fine for Firefox - we also need to think about Fennec.

Matt, I moved the dump files to `services/blocklist/` but I can't figure out to specify the destination in `moz.build`.

In the current patch, the files land in `dist/bin/defaults/collections/blocklists/`. 

How can I specify a path that would carry the app name (browser/thunderbird/...) so that they land in `dist/bin/browser/defaults/collections/blocklists/` for example?

(Otherwise I copied the files by hand and the tests pass)

Regarding load JSON dumps on Fennec: this is tricky:

- Shipping JSON dumps will grow the android package. An effort is already being made to ship assets like fonts (via Kinto ^^) for this reason!
- Shipping no dump will oblige fennec clients to download more data on first blocklist synchronization.


Before tackling this: what is currently being done about blocklist.xml on Fennec? The whole file is downloaded every day like elsewhere?

I don't have time to investigate. Please ask someone more involved in the build system / packaging such as glandium.

How much does it grow? Currently we monitor changes larger than 100kb. If it's more in the are of a couple of kB then this is negligible. Otherwise we need to balance between security and size concerns.

Of course it depends on the size but as the other option is to download this with the APK there shouldn't be much difference from the size of the data.

I actually don't know. From the code I've seen I assume there's no difference between desktop and Fennec and we use the same code. But this is more or less a guess. I flagged mfinkle and margaret. They probably know or know who knows. :)

We don't ship this on Fennec, see bug 1235596.

Mike, I need to move some JSON files from `services/blocklist/` to `dist/bin/browser/defaults/collections/blocklists/` during build.

In the current patch, I used ``FINAL_TARGET_FILES.defaults.collections.blocklists += ['addons.json', ...]``, and the files land in ``dist/bin/defaults/collections/blocklists/``.

How can I specify a path that would target the app name folder (browser/thunderbird/...) so that they land in `dist/bin/browser/defaults/collections/blocklists/` ? (If it is even possible)

Thanks for your insights!

Gregory, Tarek suggested me to needinfo you too for the above question :) Maybe you have some advice or feedback to share with regards to the approach...
Many thanks in advance!

FINAL_TARGET_FILES prepends the DIST_SUBDIR or XPI_NAME moz.build variable to the destination directory. e.g. inside browser/ moz.build files, things will get installed to browser/* because browser/moz.build has "DIST_SUBDIR = 'browser'".

CONFIG['MOZ_APP_NAME'] contains the name of the current application. In theory you could reference that when assigning to FINAL_TARGET_FILES (pretty sure you can use [] in addition to . for hierarchical assignment).

Instead of using FINAL_TARGET_FILES, have you considered a jar.mn file? Historically files under services/ are using a packaging method different from the rest of Firefox. This has been cargo culted over the years. I would suggest using jar.mn files like most things.
Flags: needinfo?(gps)
Note that Thunderbird doesn't use a separate app directory like Firefox does. Also note that using jar.mn wouldn't solve the app directory problem. You still need to set DIST_SUBDIR. See devtools/moz.build.

:glandium helped me fix the packaging issue! Thank you again!

So in the last version of this patch, the server json dumps are shipped in omni.ja and accessed via resource:// with fetch().

Since there is a work-in-progress regarding the content of omni.ja on Fennec (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1044079), I only set it up for the `browser` target.

This should be ready for review/merge :)

Is /services/ supposed to be generic to support non-Firefox applications? Will Firefox on Android use the exact same files even though some of the gfx and plugins ones are probably irrelevant?

Only run this on desktop for now so we don't ship extra data in irrelevant applications especially filesize sensitive ones like FxAndroid:
`if CONFIG['MOZ_BUILD_APP'] == 'browser':`

I used /services/ because it was suggested in a previous comment. I also thought we could later move the blocklist clients and tests in that folder also.
/services/ is about as generic as toolkit is -- which is to say, in theory it's supposed to be all cross-platform, and in practice it's not necessarily so. Most notably Sync's desktop implementation lives in services, and is only shipped on desktop.
I rebased and made some changes to the patch to generalize it a bit: we now support certificate pinning (Bug 1306470), and now load from folders whose name is the remote bucket name.

Is there any chance that we can land this please? It's been here for a long time and it paves the way for Bug 1257565

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Phil!
I'm sorry :/
Thanks for your patience...

We can skip the test file on Android, since we don't ship the files (see #c22).

How do I proceed to update my patch now that it has been backed-out? MozReview suggests me to file a new bug (!?).

It would just consist of adding ``skip-if = os == "android"`` in xpcshell.ini

Thanks for your insights!
