Build and update your own B2G build daily-ish without blow away data. Now comes with localization testing.

B2G Personal daily dogfooding instruction

This is how I generate my dogfood build, daily-ish. I do so to ensure I have (almost) total control over what goes into my phone so I could pick up the changes anytime I wanted (and indentifying the version of Gaia/Gecko I am using).

This instruction is used for Geeksphone Peak and with zh-TW locale. Replace/remove instruction for your own phone.

File locations:

  • update.sh should go to $B2G (the place you clone B2G repo with git).
  • local.mk contains specific instructions for Gaia, put it in $B2G/gaia.
  • languages_mine.json should go to $B2G/gaia/locales.

update.sh
# Update your locale repo first
# Note that you'll need to manually clone the locale repo to B2G/gaia/locales directory from one of the repo in
# https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/ first, like
# hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/zh-TW/ B2G/gaia/locales/zh-TW
hg -R gaia/locales/zh-TW pull -u default
# Before bug 922463 is fixed, we will need to reset the local changes made by multilocale script before we sync
# Warning: this reset all the uncommitted changes in the repo too!
# git --git-dir=./gaia/.git --work-tree=./gaia/ checkout .
# Update and config B2G itself and start building
# Build a "user" build so that Gaia will be put in the system partation
git pull &&\
BRANCH=master TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user ./config.sh peak &&\
./build.sh TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user ||\
exit
# Pause
read
# Flash *only* the system partation to NOT removing data.
# Mind that you might want to remove data when you flash the phone for the first time.

FYI: Since we are on master of gaia, I'll clone http://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/zh-TW/ instead of v1_3.

Done.

Do we need a line to ./repo sync ?

No, config.sh do that for you.

ah! "indentifying the version of Gaia/Gecko I am using," got it... so you'll update the code manually?

No, simply allow me to include the change just reach master.

the line # "hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/zh-TW/ B2G/gaia/locales/zh-TW" could be
# hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/zh-TW/ gaia/locales/zh-TW

so people can uncomment and use it directly at first time
