1231989 - Prompt to install hgwatchman on OS X

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Mach Core, enhancement)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

We should prompt to install hgwatchman during `mach mercurial-setup`. To make this bug easier, I'm going to limit this to OS X since we'll need to perform kernel tuning on Linux so watchman doesn't hit inotify limits and implementing this is slightly more complicated.

This is needed to support hgwatchman.

This can speed up performance significantly.

Only support OS X for now because on Linux we have to adjust inode
limits to support mozilla-central and I don't feel like scope bloating.
