Comment (by JeremyRand):

 > Thanks for the patches! The construction with the ncdns-repro repo seems
 weird. I don't think this belongs into the top level of the tor-browser-
 build repo. Rather, looking at its contents this needs to get integrated
 into the projects. Or, rather, all the projects you need should get
 integrated into projects. But maybe I am missing something here. Could you
 elaborate?

 My reasoning was that Namecoin already maintains rbm projects for most of
 the binaries we distribute, so it would reduce maintenance effort to
 simply reuse Namecoin's rbm projects folder (via a Git submodule) rather
 than require the Tor Browser devs to regularly copy Namecoin's projects
 folder into Tor Browser's projects folder.  But, if you prefer to have Tor
 Browser keep its own copy of Namecoin's projects rather than reuse
 Namecoin's version as a Git submodule, that's fine with me and I can make
 that change.  Let me know what you'd prefer.

 > FWIW: there is at least one (non-fatal) error I get during running the
 build that might be related to the above as you seem to try to remove a
 thing that cannot be removed:

 Indeed, that error gets displayed the first time that the submodule is
 being set up.  The error is harmless, but I can fix that pretty easily
 (though I'll wait for an answer to the above question so that I know
 whether the submodule is staying at all).
