- Moving "mozilla-aurora", "mozilla-beta". bug 652229
- symlinks in place, so people didnt notice move last week. Removing symlink this week
- if you are doing work in mozilla-aurora, mozilla-beta, you need to reclone or update your .hg/hgrc file.
- Plan for localized beta builds (joduinn, Axel)(etherpad):
- Changes to the l10n dashboard required. bug 650816 (Axel)
- aurora -> beta push will follow the en-US strategy with a trivial triage of differences, aurora always wins. As such, pull aurora, close possibly dangling old beta head.
- for fx5, may just throw the current l10n beta repos away and take a fresh start of l10n aurora
- or, automate. hg extension to pull and close head is in bug 654335
- l10n team doesn't have the manpower to execute those merges, so document and automate them so that release can do them, quick, safe, right. l10n to be on backup call for the first push at least
