Partner repacks refer to 3rd party customized branded versions of Firefox that Mozilla is taking care of for some of its clients. With some exceptions, most of the partner reconfigs lie under private repositories. For example, whenever we ship a build release on our servers, we also take care and host a Bing repack. For the others that we don't publish, all the resulting artifacts are private. Mostly, the partner repacks don't need too much of RelEng interference as all bits are held under private git repos and are directly handled by the partnering companies. The usual first occurrence with them for a releaseduty is when releases may get some delays in being published through the ''<channel>-cdntest'' because some of the partner-repacks are still running, hence holding the checksums step which at its turn holds the push-to-mirrors step. | |||
