  <strong>Spitfire Builder</strong>
</p>

<p align="center">
This is a "simple" script for building the Spitfire Browser based on Mozilla Firefox source code.
</p>

## Project Overview

Spitfire Builder script is a tool designed to automate the building, patching, packaging, and uploading of the Spitfire Browser, which is based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. It streamlines tasks like:
- Cloning and updating the Mozilla source repository.
- Applying patches for Spitfire.
- Building the browser for different platforms.
- Compressing and uploading builts to a remote server.

## Dependencies

- Mercurial (hg)
- Git
- Golang (tested with v1.21)
- Python 3.11 and pip3

## Flags

Below is a detailed description of all the flags supported by the Spitfire Builder script:

### **General Flags**

- **`-h`**:
  Displays the help message and exits. Use this to see all available flags and their descriptions.

### **Build Process Flags**

- **`-a`**:
  Perform all steps of the build process, including cleaning, updating the repository, building, and applying patches. (Without uploading)
- **`-b`**:
  Compiles the source code without cleaning or updating.
- **`--clean`**:
  Cleans the build directory by removing temporary or cached files.
- **`--full-clean`**:
  Performs a full clean by removing all build artifacts (clobber).
- **`-u`**:
  Updates the Mozilla source repository to the latest revision using Mercurial (`hg pull`).
- **`--pre-patch`**:
  Applies pre-build patches to the source code.
- **`--post-patch`**:
  Applies post-build patches to the built output.
- **`--skip-patch-update`**:
  Skips updating the patches repository.
- **`-r`**:
  Runs the built project after the build process completes successfully.
- **`--skip-deps`**:
  Skip checking for required system dependencies.
- **`ignoreErrors`**:
  Processes all steps even if errors occur.

### **Compression and Upload Flags**

- **`-c`**:
  Compresses the build output into a `.tar.gz` file. Use with the `--upload-path` flag to specify the directory to compress.
- **`--upload`**:
  Uploads the compressed build file to a remote server (e.g., SourceForge). Requires a configuration file (`sourceforge_config.json`) to define upload parameters.
- **`--upload-path=<path>`**:
  Specifies the directory or file to upload. This is required for both compression and uploading.

### **Customization Flags**

- **`-t=<target>`**:
  Sets the target format for the build output. The format follows `component-arch-release-platform`.
- **`-v=<version>`**:
  Defines the version of the package. For nightly builds, the current date is used by default.
- **`--component=<name>`**:
  Sets the name of the component being built (default: 'browser').
- **`--arch=<architecture>`**:
  Specifies the architecture for the build (default: system architecture, e.g., `amd64`).
- **`--release=<type>`**:
  Specifies the release type (`stable`, `nightly`, etc.). Default is `nightly`.
- **`--platform=<platform>`**:
  Sets the platform for the build (default: system platform, e.g., `linux`).

## Example usage:

- **All build steps**:
```sh
go run . -a
```

- **All build setps without fetching new patches**:
```sh
go run . -a --skip-patch-update
```

- **Upload**:
```sh
go run . --upload -c
```

- **Build and upload**:
```sh
go run . --upload -c -a
```

- **Display all flags**:
```sh
go run . -h
```

## Config file for uploading example:

*sourceforge_config.json*

```json
{
    "SFKeyPath": "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub",
    "SFUser": "internet-addict",
    "SFHost": "web.sourceforge.net",
    "SFProject": "spitfire-browser"
}
```
