See src/README for the README that ships with snappy.
Mozilla does not modify the actual snappy source with the exception of the
'snappy-stubs-public.h' header. We have replaced its build system with our own.
Snappy comes from:
http://code.google.com/p/snappy/
We are currently using revision: 56
To upgrade to a newer version:
1. Check out the new code using subversion.
2. Update 'snappy-stubs-public.h' in this directory with any changes that were
made to 'snappy-stubs-public.h.in' in the new source.
3. Copy the major/minor/patch versions from 'configure.ac' into
'snappy-stubs-public.h'.
4. Copy all source files from the new version into the src subdirectory. The
following files are not needed:
- 'autom4te.cache' subdirectory
- 'm4' subdirectory
- 'testdata' subdirectory
- 'autogen.sh'
- 'configure.ac'
- 'Makefile.am'
5. Update the revision stamp in this file.
