Build Engineers

{aki} - Tracking bug: bug 758787

Signed-off Revision(s)

L10N changesets

  • build 1:
    • Created 14.0b8 milestones
    • Generated the 14.0b8 changesets without hitting "ship it"
    • Saved those as l10n-changesets_mobile-release.json

This is specifically because we're taking the latest off mozilla-beta, without really having clear 14.0 release-off-beta processes.

  • build 2:
    • Copied 14.0b8 build 3 changesets.

Build

Fennec

  • Android: no problems.
  • Android-xul failed because I didn't change the multilocale config for it in mozharness. We're not shipping, so I skipped this.
    • Alex emailed saying we may release this.
    • Landed a patch to fix, re-tagged mozharness manually.
    • Rebuilt android-xul build.

The rebuild had no problems.

Fennec repacks

No problems.
