600073 - Project branch for Firefox Electrolysis

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

We're going to be starting work on an E10S Firefox this quarter, and as a first step will need a branch repo and assorted releng infrastructure for triggering builds/tests/etc.

I suspect one of the disposable "twig" branches would would just fine for this?

Also, it is possible to selectively disable tests and Talos for the branch? At least for the initial few months of this effort, we don't expect this top be a very functional app, so there's no point in wasting CPU time on tests/perf.

We still have an active electrolysis branch running, so you can go ahead and push to http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/electrolysis/ anytime to get builds going. Please comment with which tests/talos suites you *do* want and we can get it configured to match your request.

bs can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they've been using that branch for test-landing mobile E10S changes before hitting mozilla-central.  I don't want to impact that.

dougt/cjones, are you still using e10s repo for anything important, or can we dedicate it to the Firefox frontend now?

I'm not.  CC'ing two other folks who have used it lately.  AFAIK it's pretty quiet nowadays.

Repurposing it sounds great to me. There's not a whole lot going on otherwise.

Comment 6

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Per IRC, we're going to rededicate projects/electrolysis. I think we should disable perf, but leave tests on for the moment.

Attachment: turn off perf (talos) for e10s branch

This will turn off the talos tests for now, we can turn on again as needed at a later stage.
