Hi everyone, Tup is a modern build system that enables fast and correct builds. I'm pleased to announce the availability of Tup for building Firefox on Linux. Compared to Make, building with Tup will result in faster incremental build times and reduce the need for clobber builds. See the in-tree docs for details [1].
We’re looking for some early adopters to try it out and let us know if it improves your workflow, or if you hit any blockers or barriers to adoption that keep you on the Make backend for now. Quick howto: You’ll need to install the Tup executable, as well as the nightly rust/cargo toolchain: cd ~/.mozbuild && mach artifact toolchain --from-build linux64-tup rustup install nightly rustup default nightly Your mozconfig needs to describe how to find the executable if it’s not in your PATH, and enable the Tup backend: export TUP=~/.mozbuild/tup/tup ac_add_options --enable-build-backends=Tup If you have any issues, feel free to file a bug blocking “buildtup” [2], or contact mshal or chmanchester in #build on IRC.
