1.4 +gfx/harfbuzz status as of 2012-08-16:
1.5 +
1.6 +This directory contains the "harfbuzz-ng" source from the 'master' branch of
1.7 +git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/harfbuzz.
1.8 +
1.9 +UPDATING:
1.10 +
1.11 +Note that hb-ot-shape-complex-indic-machine.hh and gfx/harfbuzz/src/hb-version.h
1.12 +are not present in the upstream Git repository. These are created at build time
1.13 +by the harfbuzz build system; but as we don't use that build system in mozilla,
1.14 +it is necessary to refresh these files when updating harfbuzz, and check them in
1.15 +to the mozilla tree. (This avoids adding the ragel processor to mozilla's build
1.16 +prerequisites.)
1.17 +
1.18 +The normal approach to updating harfbuzz, therefore, is to pull the latest HB
1.19 +source into a scratch directory and do a local build; then copy the original
1.20 +sources AND the generated headers mentioned above from the build directory into
1.21 +the mozilla tree.
1.22 +
1.23 +In addition, the src/Makefile.in file here is NOT from upstream, nor is it
1.24 +generated from src/Makefile.am (the original harfbuzz version); it is a mozilla-
1.25 +specific makefile that is maintained by hand. It should only need updating when
1.26 +new source files or exported headers are added in harfbuzz.
