539434 - [HTML5] The translator isn't updating parser/html/javasrc/

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P2)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Looking at http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/parser/html/javasrc/ , it turns out that the translator isn't storing a snapshot of the translated .java files in parser/html/javasrc/.

To make it easier for downstream packagers to use Gecko under the GPL, the translator should put a snapshot of the .java files in parser/html/javasrc/ and the makefile should allow using parser/html/javasrc/ as the translation source (in which case the translator shouldn't overwrite those files with the files themselves).

Attachment: Patch for htmlparser/translator-src/nu/validator/htmlparser/cpptranslate/Main.java

copyFile already contains a check to make sure the files don't overwrite themselves, so simply uncommenting the call should be sufficient

Attachment: Add a translate_from_snapshot target to parser/html/java/Makefile.

Allows using the latest mozilla-central snapshot instead of the latest htmlparser revision.
