see bug 626874 where more branches are being set up for re-usable projects and will be able to read from custom repos if needed (ie: not in hg.m.o/projects/)

Wrong bug # - see bug 627454

Mike can you make an initial commit to the services/services-central repo so that I can test in staging? Without the 'default' branch my tests are failing. Preferable a revision that will make it through compile.

It would be appreciated if you ask IT to clone mozilla-central to your new repo, rather than push all the history of m-c to an empty one. Buildbot will have a nasty time if the json version of pushlog is OMG massive.

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

filed bug 634338 to get the cloning done.

Attachment: turn on services-central branch in production

Graphserver production is ready, test builders are ready and waiting for builds, Tinderbox page exists, just need builds to be in ACTIVE_BRANCHES

This branch is now live in production and is ready for use. Please push to it twice to kick it off, the first set of builds should go red because there won't be logs to compare to, but the second run of builds should complete properly.

Comment 9

[Philipp von Weitershausen [:philikon]]

Pushed the current m-c tip to it. m-c is closed for now so the second push will have to wait a bit.

Filed bug 636047 for getting a tbpl interface for this branch.

Looks like the branch is working as expected, I see everything on the Tinderbox page. Closing.
