			Let's start with firefox. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/macos_build.html

			And we're off to the races...

			They want me to install mercurial, ok, that's a bit odd. And a specific, older version, which isn't great.

			Experiment: let's try running hg with the latest, version 6.2.3.

			Ok now they want me to get the firefox source code with a bootstrap script. Wouldn't it be nice to just clone the source code using standard git/hg?

			Now I've downloaded the script, and I'm reading it to see why they use a script at all.

			Fun tip: curl can act like wget - download the file - with the -O option, with no parameter.
			curl <nowiki>https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py</nowiki> -O
			The script sets up generaldelta to be true, but it appears this is not necessary as of mercurial version 3.7
			"format.generaldelta=true",
			So let's skip that

			Now for the actual merge command:
			hg clone <nowiki>https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified</nowiki>
			It's running, and it's taking a while. I wonder if there'd be a faster / easier way to do this, maybe using bittorrent?

			So this is already a clear bother for users; slow ass cloning.
