We might need to bump a bunch of versions files for 0.8.


ssitter, you probably have the best overview of what needs to be changed, do you mind whipping up a patch?

looks good, r=ssitter

Just one nit: What is tb referring to? Maybe replace with full word/sentence.

+++ sunbird/solaris-sparc/mozconfig
+++ sunbird/solaris-x86/mozconfig
+# for nightly mode
+# no update for tb outside mozilla.org possible atm

[checked in] Bump Gdata Version to 0.5pre

will commit it myself together with the sunbird version change

Comment 21

[ause]

committed the patches to get 0.9pre (0.5pre) development builds (code/tinderboxes). CLOBBER builds are running.

Comment 22

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

Should we switch of the l10n packaging during development cycle to reduce lightning.xpi download size? Most locales are only update after string freeze and are therefore broken (hence unusable) during development cycle.

Comment 23

[Daniel Boelzle [:dbo]]

Good idea, Stefan. I suspect most will be broken immediately, too.

with the same arguing, we could also stop doing l10n sunbird builds. do we really want this?

Comment 25

[ause]

all tinderboxes doing 1.8 builds are back to develop mode (MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH)

Comment 26

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

(In reply to comment #24)
Sunbird l10n builds are standalone and not included in the "normal" nightly builds. They must be downloaded separately and don't interact with each other.

Lightning on the other side has all locales included. That means nightly tester or bug reporters that were asked to retest with a nightly build must accept the doubled download size and must switch to an en-US Thunderbird build. They can't use their preferred Thunderbird localization because Lightning will break it - unless the corresponding locale was updated of course. (At the moment of writing this comment 27 of 29 locales are broken.)

Comment 27

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

The gdata version bump patch was not checked in on trunk. 

-> Checked in on HEAD

Attachment: [checked in] disable l10n building for lightning

after this is committed, one has to revisit all lightning 1.8 tinderboxes to actually remove the existing l10n tree. ugly...

Comment 31

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

I'd say all issues are fixed now.

Comment 32

Yes, this one is fixed.
