This is pretty useful! Not knowing about this tool I did something very similar, but much cruder, by symlinking my current active mozconfig file to the configuration I want to build for:

~/dev/gecko % ls -l src/mozconfig
lrwxr-xr-x 1 ato staff 26 22 Feb 18:22 src/mozconfig -> ../mozconfig/desktop-debug
~/dev/gecko % ls -l mozconfig
lrwxr-xr-x 1 ato staff 33 22 Feb 17:46 mozconfig -> /Users/ato/dev/dotfiles/mozconfig
~/dev/gecko % ls -l ~/dev/dotfiles/mozconfig
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 ato staff 125 22 Feb 17:46 b2g
-rw-r--r-- 1 ato staff 225 22 Feb 17:46 common
-rw-r--r-- 1 ato staff 204 22 Feb 17:46 desktop-debug
-rw-r--r-- 1 ato staff 141 22 Feb 17:46 desktop-release

So when I want to build a desktop opt build instead I do:

% rm mozconfig
% ln -s ../mozconfig/desktop-release mozconfig

My mozconfig's, which may not be so great, are here: https://github.com/andreast...

Cool. My workflow used to involve a lot of symlinking as well. Another one I've seen is putting a lot of the processing logic in the mozconfigs themselves (since they are just shell scripts).

That's an interesting idea. Potentially one could have it detect an environmental variable or something and have it automatically instate the right mozconfig for you.
