969360 - Do we need desktop Firefox nightlies on the b2g26 (v1.2) branch anymore?

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Can't help but notice that we're still running nightlies for all platforms on b2g26. Do we really need the non-B2G nightlies anymore? I would propose that we cut back to only running B2G desktop, emulator, and device image nightlies and drop the Firefox nightlies.

Any opinions on this, Jonas?

Sounds good to me, but wanna check with Vivien too.

I'm not entirely sure we even need the desktop B2G nightlies anymore. Is anybody actually using them on v1.2? I'm thinking we could live with just nightly device image builds for whatever QA purposes they're needed for.

Again, I'm only asking about what nightly builds we're running on this branch. I'm not proposing at this time any changes to the per-push dep builds we run.

Attachment: disable Firefox nightlies on b2g26_v1_2

This disables Firefox nightlies on b2g26. It doesn't do anything to desktop B2G nightlies.

I don't think the non-b2g nightlies for b2gb26 are useful at this point.

Live in production.

These nightlies are still being generated:

Did the change need to be made to b2g_config.py rather than config.py?

Oh sorry mis-read the summary as "B2G desktop nightlies", in which case this is working as expected & can be closed now.
