Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

browser/installer/windows/Makefile.in has a fair number of rules left:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/515407ebfa1433c31144374313bbfd8b942af41c/browser/installer/windows/Makefile.in

It does some things during packaging, but also gets invoked during the build to build the uninstaller and maintenence service:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/515407ebfa1433c31144374313bbfd8b942af41c/browser/Makefile.in

This also gets invoked during l10n repacks, so we will have to be aware of that.

There's also
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/515407ebfa1433c31144374313bbfd8b942af41c/toolkit/mozapps/installer/windows/nsis/makensis.mk

which is what does most of the actual installer building.

Except for the l10n bits, I'm guessing we could just move all of this logic into a Python script and call it from the packager Python script.
