Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

gps pointed out in http://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2013/07/16/analysis-of-firefox%27s-build-automation/ that we use ensure => latest for mozilla-built packages like Python and Mercurial.  Really, we should be specifying an explicit version there, so that it's easy to go back in hg history and use an older version, even when new versions are available in the repo.

Did this run without issue on a test slave?  That'd be my only worry - that something funny in the way some AWS hosts are built will make this explode.  That'd be a good thing to learn, but not via an explosion.

I tested on a datacenter test node and an aws test node.  No changes.

Checked in to default: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/puppet/rev/d63ba3e98632
