840849 - generate "ikura" builds for B2G

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

Please generate nightly builds for "ikura" devices. 

open questions: 

0) what branches are these supported on? I'd guess v1.1 and beyond, but looking for official confirmation.

1) do we also need per-checkin builds?

2) do we need to generate updates? If yes, how to make these updates available without complicating updates being generated for other devices.

3) what locales are to be included? (although this feels like wider question about locales for v1.1, noting here to track).

Tony - Release engineering is looking to figure out an appropriate priority needed on this bug for these builds from QA's perspective. Can you provide input here?

Ikura phones havent been 100% confirmed yet that it's going to get 1.1.  i hear rumors that it is, but until product and engineering gives the rubber stamp, lets defer this bug until we hear so.

ni? andreas if he knows if Ikura's will update to 1.1 or not in the market.  if so, then we need nightly build support.

Per followup email from clee: If business needs change, we can revisit, and reopen, but for now, it helps reduce confusion across groups by clearly marking as WONTFIX.
