821418 - Finalize app.update.url parameters

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

In b2g.js I see:

pref("app.update.url", "http://update.boot2gecko.org/%CHANNEL%/update.xml");

In firefox.js I see:

pref("app.update.url", "https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml");

We should add all applicable parameters from Firefox's URL to B2G's without breaking current dogfood updates (so they should be parameters instead of folders?). If we have access to the device model, we should also add that. We should also add whether or not the update was forced or automatic, and how often the automatic ping is set up for (daily, weekly, monthly).

Chris - if you have any other requests, please make them here.

FWIW we are currently using a different URL for dogfooders:
http://update.boot2gecko.org/%CHANNEL%/%PRODUCT_MODEL%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/update.xml?build_id=%BUILD_ID%&version=%VERSION%&dogfood_id=%DISTRIBUTION%

%PRODUCT_MODEL% is the new "device model" AUS variable that was introduced for B2G. The force=1 flag is also automatically added already to the query string.

CCing jgriffin, who would know what it would take on the server side to support more variables in the URL. The change on the platform side is pretty trivial.

This is basically the scheme we had for FOTA updates; what is %PRODUCT_MODEL% for the unagi phones?  Still 'unagi1'?

Adding :rail, since rel-eng is producing updates now, although it isn't clear that this will impact them.

Since we're not going to be hosting our own updates, we can't set a great default URL.  Therefore, we can't block on this.
