1085480 - Set up nightly builds (or other intermittent builds) for Firefox OS on Raspberry Pi

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

Some folks who are interested in using FFOS-on-RPi don't have the local build machine power or network bandwidth to make their builds.  Just like other FFOS builds, these would help out those potential users/contributors.

I don't believe that community is large at the moment, but I'd like to get this request into the pipeline.

I should add that for the foreseeable future you can't make a fully-functional RPi build without applying a custom patch

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Hacking_b2g_on_Raspberry_Pi#Building_b2g_for_RPi

Landing the full-function code is blocked on a trivial patch that the gfx team has entrenched around, most likely because I suggested it.  That patch is a dep for an actually-important followup patch.  But if we can get movement here on the possibility of nightly builds, and someone other than me tries to get r+ on the gfx patch, then we can probably things building on upstream code.  (Except for bug 1085599, which may kill armv6 builds entirely.)

I'd like this too a lot. Only way to get people to dogfood it.
