Mobile support for the new try server has just landed! Any push after now will have an Android, Maemo 4, Maemo5 GTK and Maemo5 QT build done. I have also added support for two magic files ‘mobile-repo’ and ‘mobile-rev’. Both of these files should be in the root directory of your mozilla-central clone. The ‘mobile-repo’ file should contain a string with no whitespace or newlines that is a path relative to http://hg.mozilla.org/ referencing a mobile-browser repository. The ‘mobile-rev’ file should contain anything that can be used with the –rev flag to mercurial. In-repo branches or changeset identifiers work great here. Just like on desktop try, you can also have a special mozconfig for your mobile platforms. In the top level directory, create a mozconfig-extra file which contains options that are added to *all* platforms and a mozconfig-extra-android-r7, mozconfig-extra-maemo4, mozconfig-extra-maemo5-gtk and/or mozconfig-extra-maemo5-qt. I could add a check for a mozconfig-mobile that would add things to all mobile builds if that is desired.
An example of a push to try session to build against my user repository copy of mobile-browser might look like:
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central cd mozilla-central rm README.txt echo 'users/jford_mozilla.com/mobile-browser' > mobile-repo echo 'default' > mobile-rev hg add mobile-repo mobile-rev hg commit -m 'Testing to see if we build without a readme file' hg push -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/try
With this marks the end of the old try server. It also means that we have fully transitioned our try server build infrastructure to Buildbot 0.8.0.
