Artifact builds are now possible
Today, the last piece of bug 1328164
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1328164 landed, meaning
it is now possible to build Thunderbird without building it.
I've written out an explanation of what this means, and when and how to
use it, at
https://developer.thunderbird.net/the-basics/building-thunderbird/artifact-builds.
I hope I have remembered the various traps you might fall in, of which
there are a few.
Happy (not) building!

This is great.
I believe a lot of developers will benefit from this (!).
Except that I am hacking on the C++ code mostly, so it won't affect me much.
But UI work would be much faster thanks to this.
Is this usage covered by a setup offered by "./mach bootstrap" ?
Currently I think it offers pre-build development for Firefox.
TIA

I really enjoy this as well, thanks Geoff! Might also be worth posting to m.d.platform, with the angle that it is now easier to support Thunderbird when making m-c changes to toolkit.

Ausgezeichnet! I'm so thrilled that this is now possible.
I just did my first successful artifact build, which took no time at all
(relative to a full build).
Very nice docs too!

Theoretically, you should be able to choose "Firefox for Desktop
Artifact Mode" from mach bootstrap, but I haven't tested it.
