-The try server is an easy way to test a patch without actually checking the patch into the core repository. Your code will go through the same tests as a mozilla-central push, and you'll be able to download builds if you wish.
-To use try server, you need a [http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/committer/ Mozilla hg account] ([http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/commit-access-policy/ level 1] is sufficient).
-== How to push to try ==
-To submit a change to the try server:
-* For changes to mozilla-central or close enough (e.g. tracemonkey branch), you can <code>hg push -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/try/</code> <br/>''or''<br/><code>hg push -f ssh://&lt;username@host@&gt;hg.mozilla.org/try/</code>
-To see the results:
-* You'll get an email from each builder with results.
-* Look for your changeset on the [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=MozillaTry Try Tinderbox] or [http://tests.themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/?tree=MozillaTry Try TBPL].
-* Compare Talos perf numbers using Pike's [http://github.com/Pike/talos-node talos-node].
-* Download your completed builds from [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/?C=M;O=D firefox/tryserver-builds on ftp.m.o].
-If you're using [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_Queues Mercurial queues], the <code>push -f</code> command pushes any patches that are currently applied, and the Try server will build the result. (This is an awesome feature, not a bug!)
-You don’t need to clone or pull from the <code>try</code> repo, and you probably don’t want to. You’d get every half-baked changeset anybody ever tested.
-See [http://blog.mozilla.com/jorendorff/2008/08/18/push-to-try/ Jorendorff's blog] for more details.
-== Using a custom mozconfig ==
-If you want to use setting other than those in the default mozconfigs, you can push an '''extra file''' to the $topsrcdir:
-* '''mozconfig-extra''' with settings to be applied to all mozconfigs
-* '''mozconfig-extra-$platform''' to apply changes only to that platform's mozconfig
-The options you enable/disable in your custom mozconfig are '''appended''' to the existing config.
-The default mozconfigs used for tryserver builds are available in Hg: [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/ http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/]$platform/tryserver ([http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/linux/tryserver linux example])
-== Pending builds ==
-You can find information about pending builds and server load at http://build.mozilla.org/builds/pending/try.html .
-== Other Notes ==
-* Finished builds will be deleted after '''14 days'''.
-* Try repo is reset '''occasionally''', and you may not be able to use TBPL to see your test results after it has been reset.
-* If you have any problems please [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=mozilla.org&component=Release%20Engineering&status_whiteboard=tryserver file a bug]
-* Windows builds have symbols uploaded to http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-symbols. Windbg and the Visual Studio debugger may use them to help debug crashing try server builds. Instructions for setting this up can be found here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server. Make sure you use the aforementioned URL instead of http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox.
-* Suggestions for the future can be made [[Build:TryServer:Suggestions|here]]
-== Other Mozilla Try Servers ==
-* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Infrastructure/TryServer Thunderbird Try Server] for the comm-central repository
-* 1.9.2 try is coming soon ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563822 bug 563822])
