As we are doing for Fennec-based builds currently as well? If so, then we should bump the clang version to what Mozilla uses. And the Rust version, too. I don't see any child bugs for those in the list for the parent one and those two components are kind of toolchain components, so I figured you might want to deal with them in this ticket. :) But child bugs for #33184 would be fine, too, I think... From what I can tell working through the build, fenix project itself is not doing any rust or native builds. This is handled by Mozillas application-services project and geckoview project In regards to application-services, these deal with cloud services which we don't want to support. https://github.com/mozilla/application-services This is project is built by Mozilla and is downloaded by fenix as an aar, which native libraries. https://maven.mozilla.org/maven2/org/mozilla/appservices/full- megazord/0.53.0/full-megazord-0.53.0.aar Looking through the components, they are largely related to sync and firefox accounts, which I don't believe we want to support. I'm in the process of creating patches to remove these projects. I want to see what breaks without the application-service components. The second part I see for native is is geckoview https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android This downloads as https://maven.mozilla.org/maven2/org/mozilla/geckoview/geckoview- beta/74.0.20200227210932/geckoview-beta-74.0.20200227210932.aar But yes, we do need an issue for this project (I'll open that). And this support will likely require some changes to the toolchain. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33557#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
