 > Ideally I'd like to have the `get-moz-build-date` either in the
 `commons` project and then refer to that from the `firefox` and
 `geckoview` config file or, less ideally, just have a symlink in
 `geckoview` pointing to the script in `firefox`. I got neither of that to
 work. Maybe boklm has an idea about how to do that.

 What happens when you do a symlink `projects/geckoview/get-moz-build-date
 -> projects/firefox/get-moz-build-date`?

 The `common` directory cannot be used for input_files (unless we change
 rbm to also look into this directory). However it can be used with
 `INCLUDE` directives in templates. So if you put `get-moz-build-date` in
 `projects/common`, you can remove it from `input_files`, and have
 something like this at the top of the `build` files:
 {{{
 cat > $rootdir/get-moz-build-date << EOF
 [% INCLUDE get-moz-build-date %]
 EOF
 }}}
