1544725 - Redirect obsolete locales in Firefox Beta 68 via update snippets

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, task, P1)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

See bug 1540379 for the equivalent work on Nightly. As soon as we start distributing Beta 68, we need to redirect

• bn-BD, bn-IN to bn.
• as, en-ZA, mai, ml, or need to be redirect to en-GB

Query to track usage on Beta: https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/62192#159837

Looks like we have builds for 68.0b3, we need the redirect rules.

Has this fallen through the cracks? I don't see any change in telemetry for Beta, while I see it in DevEdition.

The rules are present:

https://github.com/mozilla-partners/mozilla-EME-free/blob/master/desktop/mozilla-EME-free/repack.cfg also needed updating, as did mozilla-partners/repack-manifests (which I can't currently see, let alone edit)

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

I was aware of that from an email thread, but I assumed that was needed for release. There's no channel in that config, so it's either fix Beta or Release?

One config for both, which means we need to adjust the code that uses it to not have a fatal error if a locale is missing.
