Description Kristoffer Grundström 2020-10-19 02:29:37 CEST 
Description of problem: I know that we have Firefox in Mageia already, but if a user wants to build Firefox from the official build instructions found at https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/contribution_quickref.html, ./mach bootstrap does not have support for Mageia so it can therefor NOT continue. I ask whoever is willing to make a patch upstream to add support in the future.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal window and type hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
2. Now type ./mach bootstrap
3. The mach command will fail with this message:

The details of the failure are as follows:

NotImplementedError: Bootstrap support for this Linux distro not yet available: mageia

  File "/home/kristoffer/Desktop/firefox-82.0/python/mozboot/mozboot/mach_commands.py", line 43, in bootstrap
    mach_context=self._mach_context,
  File "/home/kristoffer/Desktop/firefox-82.0/python/mozboot/mozboot/bootstrap.py", line 240, in __init__
    'distro not yet available: ' + dist_id)

This should be reported upstream.

I don't think it is for us to patch an upstream tool.

No, we are already busy enough with all downstream fixes we have to do. Closing.
