1393071 - documentation needs to be updated to reflect that addon devel builds have been superseded by dev edition builds

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(WebExtensions :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

When devedition builds were created, they superceded the devedition builds.

The documentation needs to be updated to reflect this here

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded_Builds

See bug 1390751 and bug 1391283.  

The devedition beta builds are here
https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/gecko.v2.mozilla-beta.latest.devedition

On release, the addon-devel builds are still there,  Upon the next uplift when they will be removed and replaced with devedition.

Comment 1

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

Will these builds auto-update, or will they be functionally equivalent to the unbranded builds that allow signing overrides for beta and release?

Comment 2

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

They auto update to new dev-edition builds.  In devedition about:config the xpinstall.signatures.required can be toggled to False to test unsigned addons.

Comment 3

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

Kev, any progress her?

Comment 4

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

So to clarify as requested by kev via a conversation with catlee, we won't remove the addon-devel builds on release, they will remain there since the devedition builds are only available on m-b.  So the documentation can still still reference them for m-r.
