1963617 - Work out how to document our dependencies in mozilla-central

Status: NEW

(Application Services :: General, task)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

Currently app-services generates and keeps in source-control the list of dependencies and their licenses - eg, the generated dependencies for the megazord. This is maintained by Python scripts which scrape the cargo metadata and do various ugly license fixups.

This probably makes less sense in mozilla-central - because we expect app-services to no longer have stand-alone releases, this dependency info should be integrated into the process the apps already have for this.

The current WIP for the monorepo doesn't copy these generated files, mainly because there's a real risk that they will go stale as they will just be a snapshot - but we still need something here.
