425012 - delete firefox unittest mozconfig files once they are no longer needed

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

Currently, unittest configs are stored along with the buildbot master config in mozilla/tools/buildbot-configs/testing/unittest. These should be pulling from the same location as build with test-specific options added in.

We're changing unittests, so we no longer build-before-testing, and instead will only use just pre-existing builds. 

In that situation, would we even need any mozconfig for unittests anymore, or could we just delete mozilla/tools/buildbot-configs/testing/unittest?

We can get rid of the unittest mozconfigs once bug 383136 lands. I'm going to morph this bug based on that.

Rob: is this about cleaning up the configs from CVS? I'm happy to simply WONTFIX this if that's the case given bug 383136 and our move to hg.

yeah, surely this is stale by now. Let me close that for you!

Moving closed Future bugs into Release Engineering in preparation for removing the Future component.
