Getting started with Sync development
Configure Mercurial
Put the following in your ~/.hgrc:
[ui] username = Your Name <you@mozilla.com> [extensions] hgext.mq =
[diff] git = 1 unified = 8
[defaults] diff = -pU8 qdiff = -pU8 qnew = -U qseries = -sv
You can also add the following to ~/.hg/hgrc:
[paths] default = http://hg.mozilla.org/services/ default-push = ssh://hg.mozilla.org/services/
Repositories
fx-sync
Sync is primarily developed in the https://hg.mozilla.org/services/fx-sync/ repository. Things that live there:
- The Services client libraries in services/crypto/ and services/sync.
- The Firefox Sync add-on in addon/*
- The Firefox 3.x and Fennec 1.x UIs for the Sync add-on in ui/*
mozilla-central
mozilla-central is the repository for Firefox and the base repository for other Mozilla-based applications. How mozilla-central is relevant to Sync:
- The client library is periodically merged from fx-sync to mozilla-central.
- The integrated UI for Firefox Sync lives in browser/base/*, along with the rest of the Firefox UI.
