682787 - Pushing files to mirrors for Fennec releases should be automated

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 543109

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Rail Aliiev [:rail]]

ATM we use 2 different scripts (one for beta, another for finals) to push Fennec files to mirrors. It would be great if we automate this step. The only difference between those 2 scripts is symlinks:

-rm -f latest-{beta,alpha}
-ln -s $VERSION latest-beta
-ln -s $VERSION latest-alpha
+rm -f latest
+ln -s $VERSION latest

Those softlinks are only needed for maemo repos, so once Maemo is fully EOLed (once 8.0 ships) even those differences aren't needed.

I'm calling this WONTFIX, then.

If the original intention was to have a builder to push Fennec candidates to mobile/releases, rather than a couple of scripts on stage, then I think that's still valid.

Yes, still need to enable push_to_mirrors and probably customize the script.

As much as I want to dup the other direction, we have standing orders not to dup an OLDBUG forward.

Duping this to bug 543109. I'm not actively working on it, but we're also under standing orders not to assign an OLDBUG to nobody@m.o.
