1045686 - Repo menu: Separate out repos for other projects (eg Thunderbird)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1066377

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P5)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Currently non-firefox repos are mixed in with the rest, eg:
* thunderbird-try
* thunderbird-esr24
* thunderbird-trunk

It would be good if we could separate these out.

I was initially going to suggest using the repo 'codebase' field, which is currently set to 'gecko' for firefox related repos, and '?' for thunderbird - but we could change the latter to {'comm', 'comm-central', 'thunderbird'} and use these names as mini headings for each project group in the repos menu.

However, these other projects perhaps don't have sufficient repos to warrant a structure like:

gecko:
  * development:
      ** mozilla-central
      ** mozilla-inbound
  * release-stabilisation:
      ** mozilla-aurora
  * try:
      ** try

thunderbird:
  * development:
      ** thunderbird-trunk
  * release-stabilisation:
      ** thunderbird-aurora
      ** thunderbird-beta
  * try:
      ** thunderbird-try

...so perhaps we should just add a new repo group called 'thunderbird' and put all of them under there?

Though if we do that, the thunderbird-try repo will not be in the repo group "try" so it makes it harder to special-case it for try repo only features. Unless we add another repo field "isTry:true" ?

Thoughts?

+1 to using the codebase field.

Comment 2

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

An alternative to the repos menu layout suggested in comment 0, would be to have a grid (or something roughly equivalent) - with repo group on one axis and codebase on the other.

It might also be good if people can toggle on/off (or a section open/closed, depending on how we lay it out) certain codebases that are not of interest to them.
