1188014 - merge esr31 and esr38 patcher configs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

The next scheduled ESR38 release will be the first one to upgrade ESR31 users. We need to merge the patcher configs together ahead of that to ensure that update verify tests happen.

We did a What's New Page for users when we did ESR24 -> ESR31, I'll find out if we're doing the same for ESR38.

Attachment: add old esrs to esr38 patcher config

Pretty simple copy over of the past-update lines and release blocks.

Last time we did this we had to set-up the WNP here (https://github.com/mozilla/build-tools/commit/090171f250d3a4a9d6fb1d5ba28ad213e324cde9), but I think that's no longer necessary...now that we have http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/5cd91d786bb9 we should be able to set it in the release config template instead.

Looking over bug 1018694, it looks like we'll need an extra rule to handle esr31 vs. esr38 updates, so maybe we'll just go without a WNP page in the main blob, and add it after the fact.

Please add a past-update line for 31.8.0esr too. Otherwise looks good.

This looks to be working fine.
