464160 - allow pulling a specific revision for a locale by adding a buildRevision to the L10n Factory

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 464154

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

We have to be able to read a file like this:
http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/2aa72b00e802/mozilla2/l10n-changesets
that has per line a "locale revision"

Here is where the "locale" property is set:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/buildbotcustom/l10n/scheduler.py#97

We could modify getLocales(self):
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/buildbotcustom/l10n/scheduler.py#106
to handle another condition for releases in which it would have to read (locale,revision) per line instead of just (locale) per line

We could set the l10n_revision to 'default' in the scheduler by default, and use that to update the l10n repo, overwriting that with the hg ident after the update.

Though I guess that I prefer hg log -R repodir -r default --template="{node}\n" to ident, as it gives the 40 char string and not just the 12.

As it turns out, it's much easier to implement this at the same time as the rest of the l10n for release stuff - so I'm duping this bug appropriately.
