You can somewhat control things by changing the VARIANT (when build for a real device/emulator)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Customization_with_the_.userconfig_file There are 3 variants: VARIANT=user VARIANT=userdebug VARIANT=eng The eng variant puts the apps in /data and includes many more apps than user/userdebug. user/userdebug puts apps in /system The eng and userdebug variants have marionetter enabled by default, so you can run tests The user and userdebug variants have the updater enabled, so you can do over-the-air (OTA/FOTA) updates. make production in gaia sets PRODUCTION=1 user and user-debug both imply PRODUCTION=1 when building locally for a real device/emulator). make production is really a way to build a user version of gaia for use with nightly or B2G-desktop. Specifying VARIANT is the way to do this when building for a device/emulator Dave Hylands ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sam Penrose" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected], [email protected], "Christopher > Mills" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 3:29:52 PM > Subject: [b2g] Understanding production vs engineering builds > We recently ran into an FxOS bug that only appeared on production builds: > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058978#c12 > I could not find documentation specifying the differences between engineering > and production builds of Gecko and Gaia, and more importantly how to control > them.
