Right now, Fennec APK packaging is in https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/upload-files-APK.mk, and it's a mess.  This ticket tracks moving it to Python, and hopefully simplifying some things along the way.

This allows to interrogate the data in a Jarrer.

I couldn't think of a better way to pass arguments into the Jarrer for
a single file.  While I was here, I expanded mozjar just a little.

Review commit: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/42855/diff/#index_header

A few notes:

* This doesn't accommodate general OMNIJAR_NAME definitions.  The
  current name (assets/omni.ja) is baked into the product in a few
  places, and is very unlikely to change, so let's not address that
  right now.

* This makes the package-manifest.in file authoritative for what goes
  into assets/, libs/, and the APK root.  Previously,
  package-manifest.in wrote into assets/ and libs/ but
  upload-files-APK.mk also had a convoluted DIST_FILES filtering
  process to work through before a file actually made it into the APK.

* This is intentional about repackaging.  It simplifies the repackage
  step rather than trying to make unpackage-then-repackage the same as
  just package.  I pretty much never get repackaging correct the first
  time; this should help.  (I've manually tested it.)

* This doesn't yet store (rather than deflate) szipped libraries in
  assets/.

See other reviews: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/42857/
The ALREADY_SZIPPED during repackaging is subsumed by the previous
check if UNPACKAGE is set.  The custom linker expects stored, not
deflated, libraries, so there's some small legwork to accommodate that
in mozjar.

glandium: I gave the reviews to you, for old time's sake, but they could have as easily gone to mshal.  Feel free to re-assign.

I am pretty sure this will handle repackaging, but the Official Plan is to break it and then fix it :)

Why make DeflateFiles different from BaseFile in this regard? Note that so far, the code using the mozpack.file classes are just doing .open().read() when they need to read the files. Why not just do that?

.open().read() would do the same thing, yes. If you feel strongly about adding a read() method as a shortcut, please add it to the base class.

I do not; I'll bump the tests for the next iteration.  (BTW, I observe locally that I forgot to set default=[] for my nargs='*' variables.  I'll address for the next iteration.)

Confusingly, in the context of Zips, stored means "non compressed". Attaching a compress and compress_level to such a class rubs me the wrong way. I don't see much value for the compress_level, too. What you really want is a way for some files to be non deflated in the archive.

Now, with all that being said, I don't think the information of whether a file should be stored or deflated in a Jarrer is something that should be done with a completely separate type. For the sake of argument, let's say we want to not compress XPTFiles in the future. How would the StoredFile class help with that?

It seems to me a better approach would be to "overload" Jarrer.add with def add(self, path, content, compress=True) and keep track of which files are requested not to be compressed. Then in Jarrer.copy, use that information instead of self.compress when creating the DeflaterDests (you don't need to manually jar.add)

This would also, I believe, be simpler.

You can do:

Note that the mozpack APIs want mozpaths, not os.paths. While using os.path will work in practice, using it will make things harder to the people trying to get Android builds working on Windows.

Not sure why you need find_executables=False here and below.

All these options seem redundant:
- You can't --szip-assets-libs without --szip
- You can't --szip-assets-libs without --store-assets-libs
- I don't seen any use for --store-assets-libs without --szip-assets-libs.

By unconditionally adding --store-assets-libs, you're effectively changing how libraries are added to the apk in the case MOZ_ENABLE_SZIP is not set. Specifically, currently, they *are* compressed in the case MOZ_ENABLE_SZIP is not set.

omni.ja ought to be stored uncompressed in the apk.
This required handling Deflater instances with different compression
options in JarWriter, which in turn required exposing the uncompressed
data in Deflater.

You're not storing None in self._compress_options, so you could replace this with compress = self._compress_options.get(path, self.compress)

I tried to comment to explain this, but apparently it still isn't clear.  I am definitely hitting this -- my tests fail without it!  `Deflater` is handled... as long as the compression is the same.  When it's not, `Deflater` doesn't expose any of the other instance methods.  Hence this and `uncompressed_data` below.

If I remove your changes from python/mozbuild/mozpack/mozjar.py, your test still passes for me...
(and I see no reason why it shouldn't)
Because the Jarrer code is always creating a Deflater with the same compression as the one given to JarWriter.add.

What is missing for it to work with an artifact build? Isn't the package that gets pulled down for an artifact build just a regular en-US build? It seems odd to say both:

   l10n repacks do not work with artifact builds.

and:

   You must have ... or a pre-built ``en-US`` package

if in fact the artifact build gets you a pre-built en-US package.

Otherwise, looks pretty reasonable to document the existing process. Hopefully we can move all of those commands inside a './mach repackage AB_CD' or some such command soon instead of listing the steps in a doc.

There was a discussion in #build about this.  Artifact builds use multiple build backends, including the FasterMake build backend.  That build backend doesn't expose JAR_MANIFEST to the RecursiveMake backend, so we'd don't process any repack stuff at all.

 Isn't the package

Could say "build configurations" or "mozconfigs".

I agree.  Pretty happy to make this how you *actually* repackage.
You can actually make l10n repacks work with artifact builds instead of rejecting them. That's the part of the conversation that went missing because the meeting was starting. You just need to change the default backend when a l10n base is given. There is a complication, though, in that --with-l10n-base is defined in toolkit/moz.configure making it not always defined (standalone js doesn't have it), and build backend is in /moz.configure, and is everywhere. So there would need to be the same kind of trick done for gonkdir.

Neat, thanks for sharing.

However, the whole idea of baking l10n base into mozconfig seems wrong to me: it should be repack specific.  That is, since we're not going to make "everything a build" (which is most sensible to Android), we should get out of the half-build-half-repack camp and go full repack, meaning that locale-specific things are command arguments.  That is, I'd be quite happy if L10NBASEDIR disappeared in the grand packaging improvement push.  Do y'all have opinions on that?
How would L10NBASEDIR disappear? You always need to tell where your locale files are in some way.

Why does the build need to know?  If we double down on "repack after the fact" and move the l10n-processing out of Makefile and into Python, we can stop re-configuring the tree entirely.

The way I see it, there are two things going on: repacking omni.ja (or the flat packaging version of omni.ja) and, for some targets, some rebuilding.  I don't see why the omni.ja repack needs L10NBASEDIR.  I don't think Desktop does any rebuilding, and the l10n rebuilding that Fennec does could be much more easily accomplished in a targeted script.
> I don't see why the omni.ja repack needs L10NBASEDIR.

I don't see how you can do a locale repack without knowing the directory where the locales are.
And I don't know about fennec, but I don't envision desktop firefox locale repacks without at least a minimal configure.

I simply don't see why we have to configure and bake it into the build configuration.  We can process JAR manifests and whatever else outside of "the build system" if we choose to.

And you process all of them? Even those for b2g when doing desktop firefox? So you have to read moz.build files, and have a minimalistic ConfigEnvironment. At that point, you might as well use configure to get that ConfigEnvironment. And the thing is, what we currently have in moz.configure (modulo skipping old-configure) is probably enough as a configure for l10n repacks. Which makes me think I should try that on top of my l10n-specific build backend attempt. I can't wait to have l10n on try...
I guesss there are a few things in that doc that ask for mods. Is there a follow-up bug for that yet?

We also have https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Creating_a_language_pack#L10n_binary_repack, which *should* work for fennec as well as desktop.

Re configure, mozconfig, l10n-base: I wish the l10n configure was faster, so yay. I think that l10n-base belongs into mozconfig (and it is for my local configs). The thing is that it's used as a code switch in packaging between packs and repacks, and if repacks get a different signal, that'd help a lot.

Re l10n-on-try and anything that touches mozharness ... maybe get a bunch of build, releng, l10n in a room and create a plan in London?

nthomas is currently working on l10n-on-try, so hopefully by London we'll be able to experiment with alternative strategies (and maybe I'll break it less).

nalexander is planning to fix the current android l10n bustage today.
