Found in triage.

(aside: would this change need to "ride the trains", to avoid any risk of binary compat issues?)

Comment 2

It depends what current version of mozillabuild is deployed, and what the new version will contain that is different. If the current version is deployed and Ryan only adds mozmake, then it won't affect anything, since it's only adding a binary. Ryan may want to also update hg, which should be safe, too.
If an older mozillabuild is deployed, then i don't know.
Alternatively, it is also possible to only deploy mozmake.exe, if that's deemed less risky than updating an old mozillabuild or updating mercurial.

Armen, do you know what version of MozillaBuild is currently deployed on our various build machines? (Incl release branches) :-)

Comment 4

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Can we please install only mozmake.exe?
It seems that it is not part of the current installation and it makes it for us a NPOTB.

However, any of the other parts that could come from Mozilla-Build from 1.5.1 to 1.9 could cause a regression to the release process while a release is happening.
Unfortunately, grabbing new changes, adding it to a handful machine and re-verify our whole release process is rather involved.

Would this work for you?

Oh my, I was assuming we were using a more recent mozilla-build.

Then I'd rather wait for bug 944649.

Comment 6

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Yeah :/

Please poke me once we're ready and we'll see who can grab it.

Yes, I'm just waiting for upstream.

Attachment: mozmake.exe

Please deploy this version. It is the one we'll have in MozillaBuild 1.9 final.

Which I'm planning to release by the end of the week.

In the end, we're going to use tooltool to deploy mozmake.
