476023 - Add descriptions for "popular" hg repos

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

The repositories on http://hg.mozilla.org/ lack descriptions.  I can't provide all of them, but I'd like to at least have some descriptions on the "popular" ones.  I suggest:

mozilla-central: Current Firefox and Gecko development. Releases branch off of this repository. Also known as "Trunk"

mobile-browser: Firefox on mobile devices.

tracemonkey: Development repository for Mozilla's javascript engine including JIT. This supports speculative work not yet merged onto mozilla-central. 

comm-central: Current Thunderbird development. Releases branch off of this repository.

releases/mozilla-1.9.1 : Branch development on Firefox 3.1 and Gecko 1.9.1.

CC'ng some people who might want different descriptions for their respective trees.

Thunderbird and SeaMonkey are both primary users of this repository, so I think that they both warrant mention.

Done.  Please post the rest and I will update them.

comm-central: Current Thunderbird and SeaMonkey development.

I don't know SeaMonkey's release process, so I've tentatively dropped the second line there, but also pulled kairo in. No offense intended!

Another couple:

try : Pseudo-repository used for submitting code to the <a href="https://build.mozilla.org/sendchange.cgi">try server</a>

dom-inspector : Current development on the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6622">DOM Inspector</a> add-on

I'd even go for this one:

comm-central: Current Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and calendar development. Releases branch off of this repository.

The second sentence is true for us as well, and calendar should probably be mentioned. If we want brand names, we could use "Sunbird/Lightning" there, but I think "calendar" should do fine.

Those new descriptions are in place as well.  Any more for me to add or can I close the bug?

As reporter, I feel my issue has been resolved.  Other reporters can file new bugs.  :)
