→Retriggering Nightly Builds: link to new hooks, some cleanup
= Retriggering Nightly Builds =
If new Nightlies have to be requested - be it for a backout or because the merge had to be later than expected - wait for the normal 'Gecko Decision Task' to finish and request the Nightlies after that. Due to the new 'shippable' builds, the Nightlies will create far less jobs and reuseh reuse the already running shippable builds.
<br />
Nightly builds run at '''12:00 / 01:00 AM/PM RO time''' (10am/pm UTC) so if we don't succeed in doing merges to central before that, nightly builds will need to be '''restarted''' on automatically scheduled for the last merge otherwise they will run again on the previous mergepush to central before that time if there have not been Nightly builds already for that push (scheduled 12 hours before).
<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Note:'''</span> We only respin nightlies if we miss them by a few minutes or if we need to get something into the next nightly( for example - : fixes for crashes). If they have been running for '''''more than half an hour''''', we <span style="color:#FF0000">won’t</span> retrigger respin them. <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Note:'''</span> If you request new Nightlies, only request them for the platforms you canceled. Both '''Firefox for Desktop''' (Windows, Linux, Mac) and '''Firefox for Android''' get Nightlies '''twice per day''' (10am and 10pm UTC).

'''CAVEAT''': there are implications to triggering too many Nightly builds in a single day or in quick succession. Please talk with a sheriff first before retriggering Nightly builds.
