This small change is actually very significant. Previously, |mach
package| for mobile/android had two jobs:
1) produce a final APK
2) rebuild parts of the APK that might have been silently modified by
l10n mechanisms, both from multi-locale builds and single-locale
repacks
This second part has never been sensible but has been difficult to
alter until recently, since the l10n mechanisms have been out of
mozilla-central and difficult to modify and test. That's less true
now.
This patch:
a) removes the rebuild parts (the step labeled 2) above (which I
generally refer to as the "nodeps mechanism")
b) uses the APKs produced by Gradle directly, without the copying
indirection from m/a/base/Makefile.in
c) does the rebuild for multi-locale builds as an explicit step in the
appropriate mozharness script
d) does the rebuild for each single-locale repack as another step in
the existing `installers-%` target in m/a/locales/Makefile.in (it's
not easy to remove this from the Makefile, since the repackage is
invoked immediately after (it's the `repackage-zip-$*` target))
The new m/a/gradle.py file will grow additional tasks in tickets to
follow, hence the lock file and pre-factored form.
