ReleaseEngineering/ThunderbirdTryServer

Basic Use

The Thunderbird try server works in exactly the same way to the Firefox try server with a few minor differences. The automation is based on the same hardware and tools, so there should be few differences.

Must Read

Please read the Firefox Try server page to get familiar with the basic workings of try server.

Please also use the TryChooser whenever possible to limit jobs and save builder time.

Differences

These are the differences for the Thunderbird try server:

• Patches should be pushed to ssh://hg.mozilla.org/try-comm-central
• Results go to the Try
• Finished builds live on http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/try-builds/{your_email_changeset}

Tips and Tricks

• Pushing a try build with try-comm-central will always pick the latest m-c changeset.

Known issues

• Mozmill test enabling isn't currently affected by the TryChooser
• Try server emails have the wrong links in them
