1296046 - Make integration/fx-team read only

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: hg.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

Per https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2016-July/004451.html, we want to retire fx-team.

This bug will track that.

The tentative plan is as follows:

1) (ASAP) Establish a whitelist of people who can push to fx-team. This will be sheriffs and people who have pushed to fx-team in the previous N days (I'm thinking 30). Everyone else will get an error message on push announcing the retirement of fx-team and instruct them to use Autoland or inbound.

2) (Optional) Prune the whitelist over time

3) Announce final day after which fx-team will be pushable

4) Make fx-team read-only on announced date

jgriffin: are you OK with this plan?

Sounds good to me, sans objections from the Firefox team.

:gps: do you know the date when will be making fx-team read only and can disable the branch in buildbot-configs?  Wondering because this could reduce our AWS spend (bug 1303152)

Per bug 1304864, we will make fx-team read-only on November 1.

At around 0004 UTC, fx-team became read-only by creating a .hg/readonlyreason file in the repository. An email follow-up will be sent shortly. In theory, references to fx-team can start being removed. However, I'd wait ~24h in case anything unexpected happens and we need to reopen the repo.
