User:AxelHecht/L10n build tasks

This is a unsorted (the sorted by Sethb) list of things to do for l10n builds.

build on push 

target response times are currently 5-10 minutes from push to completed build. This replaces bsmedberg's existing setup, but shifts the maintenance to RelEng.

nightly builds 

Nightly builds should be created following the en-US builds.

compare locales 

bug 458938 initially. Process for further updates.

nightly updates 

Nightly updates for l10n builds is the enabler for community testing throughout.

reliable reporting 

It should be clear from the web interface which builds succeeded and which failed, globally and per locale

runtime tests 

Runtime tests include Minotaur, but also gathering screenshots from coverage.xpi. Adds build time. Possibly in a scheme like unit tests. More tests to develop.

l10n merge 

use l10n-merge to create reliable builds, against identified source of the en-US binary in question

make wget-en-US
make unpack
make ident
# update mozilla-central with result from ident here
make merge-ab-CD LOCALE_MERGEDIR=$PWD/mergedir
make installers-ab-CD LOCALE_MERGEDIR=$PWD/mergedir
# upload magic

keepalive builds 

Tinderbox needs at least one build to show within the last 12 hours or it drops the result. Building every 8 should be safely in that window.
