699315 - move https://build.mozilla.org/trychooser/ to trychooser.pub.build.mozilla.org so it no longer requires LDAP to access

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

http://people.mozilla.org/~lsblakk/trychooser/trychooser.html used to be world-readable, but now it redirects to
  https://build.mozilla.org/trychooser/
which is auth-protected and won't load anything unless I authenticate.

Might not a huge deal, but this seems like an unnecessary & undesirable hurdle.

There's no reason why we'd need this site to be hidden AFAIK, and it's useful for new contributors to be able to generate their own trychooser syntax when they're posting patches for others to push to try on their behalf.

(It also just feels weird, because it goes against the default-to-open-until-there's-a-compelling-reason aspect of Mozilla.)

Sorry about this, I'll look into a way to have it live somewhere that is open and yet also upgradeable by anyone in RelEng (that was the reason for moving it to another location).

You can probably get IT to change the auth requirements for that directory.

Passing this to Dustin who can make it happen.

I'll try to fix that dir - I think that's reasonably easy - but the better plan is a new URL, which is only slightly less easy.

Comment 5

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

OK, https://build.mozilla.org/trychooser/ is now accessible without LDAP.

Comment 6

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Attachment: update trychooser webhelper url in the try_mandatory hook

This will need to get landed and updated on the hg side by IT

Comment 7

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

This is now online at
  http://trychooser.pub.build.mozilla.org/
with no LDAP auth.  I've added redirs from
  https://build.mozilla.org/trychooser
  https://build.mozilla.org/tools/trychooser

Patch landed - the emails should be correct now.
