Mitchell Hentges 82521cb272 Bug 1663838: Refresh pacman before installing Arch Linux deps r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,rstewart
In bootstrap, pacman should ensure its database is up-to-date.
Otherwise, when installing packages, pacman will slowly query every
mirror when attempting to download an out-of-date package.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python -

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
