685512 - [l10nstats][shipping] store locales to build plus meta data, drop using all-locales

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Elmo, defect, P2)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Not exactly sure where to hook up which:

Elmo needs to stop tracking all-locales, and get that data out of its db.

Might be good to think about mapping the locale meta data, too.

Building belongs into l10nstats/life, shipping meta data into shipping.

Shipping meta data would be which platforms, and in some form if a locale is in aurora/beta/final. In the rapid release model, we can get away with just encoding that as build data, though it might be also good to encode that extra.

Not clear what's needed here or if it's still relevant - Axel?

Comment 0 says everything I know so far. The entry point for all-locales is in master-ball -> locale-inspector, https://github.com/Pike/locale-inspector/blob/master/l10ninsp/steps.py#L355, where we load and update the list of active locales for a tree. See also bug 530808 for the beta meta data part.

I still want this, and the history part of this might be easier to do while we're still having separate clones per branch.

Note, now that we have DurationThrough as a helper, this is not too hard to model. Mostly a question of getting good migration data from version control tools.

Also, the actual migration should be done after bug 1136149 cleared up some old cruft.

I reconsidered, let's keep build config in hg.m.o.
