840202 - remove accessibility branch

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Aki Sasaki (not active)]

Not used since April last year.
Pinged #accessibility; seems like they don't use it.

We should get a sign-off here before doing this.

Marking as blocking bug 747382 since the addSuite() and loadCustomUnittestSuite() methods would be complex to port, and are only used for the [currently unused] accessibility branch.

[11:40]	<aki>	i'm asking if https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Accessibility is needed, since it hasn't been used since april last year
[11:40]	<aki>	if it is needed, do we need to special case snow leopard on that branch anymore
[11:40]	<hub>	I don't use it either
[11:41]	<aki>	davidb: ok to remove it?

Hopefully if we need something like this in the future it will be simpler to add.

Yeah, I think we can add it lower in the config, as branch-specific configs, rather than the way it was currently implemented.

The // deathwatch comment actually refers to devtools and jaegermonkey as well, r=me with it left in there (or, a far better thing, them killed too).

Bunch of mozconfigs can be deleted from buildbot-configs too iirc
