964538 - [tracker] improve socorro build process

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Lonnen :lonnen]

Lots of lessons learned creating this branch: https://github.com/mozilla/socorro/pull/1773

One giant atomic unit is bad, though. This will be a tracker for breaking it up into pieces as best I can, in order to implement the of that larger PR and beyond.

The high level goal of this is to simplify the build process to remove Make. Removing duplicate work is an immediate win, but the process is twisted and opaque. Modifying it is difficult at best.

An analysis of our current build process, including two annotated runs (from the perspective of make and our build scripts it calls) are here: https://gist.github.com/lonnen/7896960
