Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

We need to add a file to mozilla-central that will point a specific commit of gaia; buildbot will use this revision when creating B2G desktop builds.

I'm thinking something pretty simple like this, unless you can think of a better place for this to live.

Can't think of any other place that's better!

I forget why we decided we needed to use hg for gaia...Is the rationale for that decision recorded anywhere?

For gaia-unit-tests, we actually need to clone gaia on the test slaves.  We don't have git installed on all the test slaves, from what I understand, so we need to use hg for the time being.

Does this need to be added to the b2g18 branches (with appropriate branch modifications)?

Comment 8

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

Not right now; our plan is get this working on trunk branches first.  By the time we do that and get the system running smoothly, it's possible we won't be using mozilla-b2g18 any longer.  If we are, we can determine at that time if we need/want to roll this out to those branches.
