845130 - coordinate mozbase on m-c with thunderbird and other teams

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect)

Description

[Jeff Hammel]

I am wildly guessing that lots of major build changes we land as part
of bug 775756 will break comm-central and possibly more things I can't
even guess.  I don't know their infrastructure.  I don't know the
contact procedure or who to contact.  Nor do I have time to figure
these things out.

We should get the stakeholders, whoever they are, on this bug so we
can figure out what can be done to ease the transition for them.

AFAIR they are still using Mozmill 1.5 for testing. I will CC Mark, Mike, and Andrew who majorly worked on those tests for Thunderbird.

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

Henrik got the usual suspects pretty right.  But when in doubt, sending a message to tb-planning is probably the best way to reach the TB dev community.  Failing that, most people probably read dev-platform and/or dev-planning.

I sent a note to the tb-planning list as a heads up.

If you have a patch stack for mozilla-central, you can also push it to try-comm-central to test with Thunderbird builds:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Infrastructure/TryServer#Pushing_mozilla-central_patches

Alternately, I'm quite happy to try out & fix patches if you've got patches that you can push me at (although it won't be until Monday now).

Comment 6

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

We don't have any patches to test yet, this is more of a heads up that some will be coming on the weeks ahead.

Comment 7

[Jeff Hammel]

I will endeavor to remember this but it is quite likely I will forget and/or misestimate what patch might cause failures.
