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.
