1308170 - Project-Branch `Date` should build fennec nightly with alternate branding to allow sideloading

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, defect)

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

On the `Date` Project branch we are working on generating Android Nightlies in taskcluster.

To facilitate early testing we should change the android package name to something unique so it doesn't conflict with actual Fennec nightlies. Especially since early on we will be using a different signing certificate than the official nightly one (making installing this harder and potentially profile-losing)

DO NOT LAND ON CENTRAL (or backout first)

Looks fine to me :). Do you normally need review for landing test stuff on project branches? I thought you could commit whatever and only needed to get review for landing things on central.

We don't actually need review for `Date` and every project branch gets to define its own rules.

We do however want constantly useable code on date (rather than iterative patches that could break thing)

So I was asking review mainly as a "is this the right way to do what I'm suggesting" which I thought was right to begin with, but didn't hurt for confirmation.
