1301650 - Implement mozilla.org/firefox/android/nightly/all to list all localized Fennec Nightly builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1288544 +++

Like the newly created /firefox/nightly/all/ page, Fennec Aurora & Nightly requires each /all/ download page so that people can easily find those localized builds at:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/aurora/all/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/nightly/all/

The first step is listing all the locales in mobile_details.json which is currently hardcoded:

https://github.com/mozilla-releng/ship-it/blob/master/kickoff/templates/mobile_details.json

The latest builds can be found at:

https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-android-api-15-l10n/
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-api-15-l10n/

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Hello Fennec folks! Here I'm creating Fennec Aurora and Nightly download pages, like we have already made in Bug 1226476 for the Release and Beta channels:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/all/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/beta/all/

In the pull request [1] :flod has raised a concern about listing single-locale builds on those download pages. Should we remove those builds while leaving multi-locale builds?

FYI, we are working on getting aurora (and maybe nightly) in Google play. So, the value won't be super important.

See bug 1241114

While Google Play is obviously the preferred distribution method for most android devices, there are a large number of android devices that cannot use it (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1139691#c21), and I would argue that testing aurora and nightly on those devices is still important.

How about only listing the multi-locale and en-US builds for each channel including Aurora and Nightly?

Comment 6

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

Who is the audience of this pages? E.g. does anyone benefit from a locale-specific build?

flod mentioned in the github issue that those builds can break when multi-locale builds do not. Does our updater even work with the single-locale builds? We shouldn't ship a version of Aurora/Nightly that doesn't update.

What is the advantage of the en-US build? I guess the problems flod mentions apply to all single-locale builds?

Comment 7

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

The way I see it, single locale builds are useful only if there's no multi-locale build for that specific language. But I'm afraid the logic would become too complex to achieve that.

Comment 8

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Okay, I'll create the Nightly/Aurora pages and update the Beta/Release pages to list multi-locale builds only.
