* **Warning:** if you don't do something like `git update-index --skip-worktree netwerk/protocol/http/OptimizedFor.h`, this change will end up in any pull requests you issue and _we won't accept them_!
1. (Optional) If you want to change the reported version numbers, alter `browser/config/version.txt` for the reported browser version, `browser/config/version_display.txt` for the _displayed_ browser version (this is where we usually put the long FPR string), and `config/milestone.txt` for the reported Gecko version.
* We don't allow these changes in pull requests either! Consider setting `skip-worktree` on these files also if you change them!

## Known build issues
* Until [issue 202](/classilla/tenfourfox/issues/202) is fixed, you will get spurious errors setting up the Python environment. You can ignore these for now.
* If your build seems to intermittently crash with an `internal compiler error`, you may be running out of memory. Restarting the build will usually get past the block (it will pick up where it left off). Alternatively, remove `-j2` from the `.mozconfig` build flags: this will only run one compiler instance at once, so the build will be slower, but it will be much less likely to experience memory pressure.

* If you get a message saying you need to "clobber" your build, clean your previous build as instructed above.
* If you are making an optimized build, you will get warnings about `N_SECT` while linking and stripping XUL. These are harmless. If you actually get an error and it doesn't build, then somehow you are using the original `strip`. Check your binaries carefully.

## Keeping up
Your repo is now a fully functional clone of the TenFourFox source repository, and you can simply `git pull` to get new changes (merging them with your local changes as appropriate).
Your repo is now a fully functional clone of the TenFourFox source repository, and you can simply `git pull` to get new changes (merging them with your local changes as appropriate). You can then incrementally update your build with `gmake -f client.mk build` to incorporate the new changes. Make sure the browser isn't running!
