1851813 - mach build langpack-XY overwrites obj/browser/locales/bookmarks.html

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1660943

(Firefox Build System :: Mach Core, defect)

Description

[stordlord]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1660943 +++

From the #build-channel:

When doing ./mach build langpack-de, I end up with obj/dist/xpi-stage/locale-de/, containing basically only symlinks. These symlinks point almost all to obj/browser/locales/merge-dir/de/, except bookmarks.html, which points to obj/browser/locales/bookmarks.html.
This is giving me a headache at the moment, as each new ./mach build langpack-XY is going to overwrite this file. So I can't build them in parallel and the original one is overwritten.

Other files I see that do this are:

locale.ini -> ../../../toolkit/locales/locale.ini
update.locale -> ../../../toolkit/locales/update.locale
updater.ini -> ../../../browser/locales/updater.ini
