1482675 - bin/bootstrap.py doesn't support --no-system-changes argument

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Bootstrap Configuration, enhancement)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

Bug 1481693 comment 23 points out that the version of bootstrap.py that works without a mercurial checkout does not handle --no-system-changes.  Adding it to the argument parser should be straightforward (probably just copying the code from the version landed in that bug to mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py

Yes it should be possible to install things without necessary relying on external package manager.

for example on macosx I would very much prefer to not use brew and macports and hence have duplication of packages already installed.
