Hi Josh,

Maybe the information in this comment can help.

Once we have manifest for flame-l (bug 1153155), we can pass it to release team for help :)

Since bug 1153155 already landed, we can have PVT for master now, but not for v2.2 (bug 1177361) so far.

Update the summary since the new build would be moved to TaskCluster.
@Wander, could you please help?

Yeah, do you need OTA update for that?

[Josh Cheng [:josh]]

Hi Wander, 
Yes, I think we still need OTA for Flame L as now not every Mozilla developers has Z3C which they will still to use Flame as development phone at beginning of 2.5. 
Thanks!

Hi Wander,

As I know, we can only provide OTA to update a device from an older flame-l to the latest flame-l build (only updating gaia+gecko). Did you mean the same thing?

Yes, I did. If you look at the flame_kk tasks [0], there are tasks for OTA and non-OTA builds. That's because OTA tasks run only on mozilla-central, and the others run also on other brances.

Spoke with wcosta, and he mentioned this is a releng issue that could take a while to put patches together to get going.

Selena, Could you find someone to help with this please other than Wander?

I met with Josh at Whistler and let the FxOS team know that we no longer have the people with expertise to implement this and managing emulator support needed to be a priority for FxOS itself. I will forward you the notes from that meeting directly.

We have the same problem we had when moving from jb to kk: we will have two different builds for the same platform. Talking to bhearsum he advised to have one unique BUILD_TARGET for device target. There is already partial work on that (Bug 1166522), but we need to fix the build side to land this.

I will work on that.

Sorry for the churn; FYI, it might be good to hold off on this task.  We may be dropping Flame-L support and just going with Aries-L instead... This is to be determined sometime this week by Jonas Sicking, I believe.

( oh oops.  sorry, not Jonas.  the discussion is still occuring for this particular topic, though we may just be dropping Flame-L support.  I will try to figure out when we have a final decision. )
