282881 - push extra build information into the build ID used for Talkback

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Talkback Client, defect)

Description

[Chase Phillips]

We should push extra build information into the build ID used for Talkback to
avoid symbol collisions for builds that are on the same platform/version/build
hour.  Do this by hacking fcsutil.pl and then configure build systems as needed
to push "gtk2" and "l10n" into the ID.

To ensure that our Talkback reporting system doesn't break, we need to keep the
first 10 chars of the build id in the current date format (eg 2005021908)...but
we can append a string, as Chase suggested, to the end to specify any special
builds (eg l10n, gtk, gtk2, etc).

For example, Linux gtk2 builds can have "2005021908gtk2" and localized builds
can have "2005021907l10n" as their build ids.

Chase:  You mentioned that you had made some changes to create these new build
ids...which build systems have been updated?

WONTFIX, talkback is dying and breakpad/socorro have better system in place already.
