The patches and review happened in Bug 1137898, but "leave open" tickets are irritating so I'm opening this ticket to track landing and fall-out of the Python machinery.  (As opposed to the actual version code calculations.)
Oh, wait, those are all build IDs.  Corresponding version codes are:

20150710135747 corresponds to -DANDROID_VERSION_CODE=2015071022
20150710140529 corresponds to -DANDROID_VERSION_CODE=2015071025
20150710135923 corresponds to -DANDROID_VERSION_CODE=2015071025

That last is interesting, but correct: observe that the stamps differ because the api-11 build started later.  I don't know how release engineering handles (or fails to handle!) this situation.

Bug 1182579 - Pre: Remove unused MIN_CPU_VERSION. r=me

We migrated to use MOZ_MIN_CPU_VERSION in moz.build some time back.

Bug 1182579 - Compute Android version codes in Python. r=gps

I considered three ways to do this:

* one, as a Python script executed with $(shell);
* two, as a Python script that writes an include file for the preprocessor;
* three, as a function exposed to the moz.build sandbox.

I rejected two because it's both tied to the preprocessor, and awkward
to make handle the dependency on the buildid (in a file) and
additional build defines (in config.status).

I rejected three because I know of no precedent for this approach, and
it hides the dependency on the buildid.

One doesn't handle failures in the script gracefully, but neither did
the existing approach.  This patch is at least testable.

Attached patch Landed.Splinter Review
The motivation for this work is to make Bug 1137898 more tractable. That has to land (and be baked) by the end of the year… and the sooner the better.

I would like this uplifted as far as we can manage; we're only two weeks into the cycle, so I'm aiming for beta.

I want to make sure this refactor is stable in beta and release with the current version code scheme, and I want it to be ready and waiting when I ask for uplift for Bug 1137898.

We'll take each uplift step gently, but there actually isn't significant risk here. It even has tests!

Landed.

I am familiar enough with this to know that regressions are usually rare and easy to fix.
Moreover, anything which can improve the build of android is a good thing.
