413072 - use categories to separate nightly and release automation builders

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

We should use categories to separate the buildbot waterfall for release automation and nightlies. This would let us give access to the waterfall to developers, without people getting confused about which builder does what.

categories=['nightly'], to match what category the dep builders are in.

r=bhearsum with that change.

Sorry, forgot to include 1.9 staging in original patch :(
You can see that it's the same exact change in either case, though.

Checking in staging/master.cfg;

Since we don't have nightly builders in production yet, I'm going to close this and assume we'll move the categories over when we move the new builders.
