1089806 - Only latest l10n Alder builds are available

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

As of now you will only be able to find the very last generated l10n Alder builds at the following location:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-alder-l10n/

But if you check the folder on FTP for the specific builds there are no builds located inside:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014/10/2014-10-24-04-02-01-alder-l10n/

It would be great for regression testing of l10n builds to also have older builds available. In case of a failure it will be very hard for testers to find that information.

As Nick pointed out on IRC it would be a single line change:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/build/search?string=l10nDatedDirs

Where l10nDatedDirs defaults to false for project branches like alder.

I'll whip up the patch for this. By the way, https://ftp.m.o is a much better way to go than ftp://ftp.m.o, for perf even if not for security.

This should also fix the failure to submit l10n builds in balrog, so we'd get 'nightly' updates for locales.

Will go live next time buildduty does a reconfig.

Thanks Nick! All is looking fine now. Once we have the next Alder builds I will enable tests in Mozmill CI for them, so that we can also check the updates.
