1172967 - Rename "opt" and "debug" phone builds to "user" and "userdebug" in index

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Taskcluster :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Wander Lairson Costa]

The terms "opt" and "debug" are misnomers for phone builds, rename then to the variant names "user" and "userdebug".

I just realized this creates a problem for eng builds, which are treated as different builds, and not variants. Today eng builds are under <phone>.eng.opt namespace, but with the new nomenclature, this will be strange. Ideas here?

Are you referring to:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/taskcluster/tasks/builds/b2g_flame_kk_eng.yml#5

If build_type is really referring to the variant, seems to make sense to have them all as "flame-kk" as the build_name and the variant being eng, user, userdebug.

Do we still need to make these naming changes?

It is not strictly necessary, but it helps B2G folks differentiate which build is what.

As Wander stated.  It would be helpful to make the name change.  Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to people and people will confuse debug for DEBUG=1 not VARIANT=userdebug.  Which are completely different builds.
