568682 - Review and land FlightDeck addon on Jetpack SDK

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Atul Varma [:atul]]

So far, the FlightDeck addon has existed alongside many other random experimental packages in my atul-packages repo:

  http://hg.mozilla.org/users/avarma_mozilla.com/atul-packages/file/836952bb64d3/packages/flightdeck

I'd like to move it so it's under the hg.mozilla.org/labs umbrella. One option is to give it its own repository, and another is to just bundle it with the jetpack sdk in its 'packages' directory.

The latter would be easiest, simply b/c the flightdeck addon is so coupled to the jetpack SDK that it would be good to keep it in sync with the rest of the SDK's code and run their unit tests together. it should also be a fairly small addon, so not much of an additional burden on the jetpack sdk code. since flightdeck is going to be renamed the 'addon builder' anyways, it seems to fit in thematically as a part of the core development infrastructure for addons, rather than as a random third-party addon.

Yeah, makes sense to have it with the SDK code.

Comment 2

Did this happen? Where's the canonical home for the source code now that we've moved over to github? Probably time to close this bug either way.

I don't think this happened.  Now that we're moving to Git and hosting our canonical repositories on GitHub for the time being, the canonical repository for this addon should live on GitHub, but in a central location, like http://github.com/mozilla/addon-builder-helper/.

Atul: can you make this happen?

Comment 4

[Atul Varma [:atul]]

Ack, sorry I missed this.

the current "canonical" location is here:

  http://github.com/toolness/addons-builder-helper

I can move it to mozilla/addon-builder-helper, but what about reviewing and landing it on mozilla/addon-sdk? Is that non-optimal now?

Comment 5

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".

Since myk landed the addon on github yesterday, I'm assuming we wontfix this.
