mozilla-1.9.2 branching on August 13 2009, early AM EDT
Mike Beltzner
The mozilla-1.9.2 repository will be branching from mozilla-central
early tomorrow morning, Thursday, August 13th, early in the morning
EDT. The steps will be:
- release engineering will close the mozilla-central tree to all
checkins
- the mozilla-1.9.2 repositories will be synchronized from mozilla-
central ones
- release engineering will hand the mozilla-central tree over to
product drivers[1]
After that, we'll be keeping both mozilla-central and mozilla-1.9.2
closed to all checkins except for ones that:
- have specific approval from product drivers[1]
- are marked as blocking1.9.2+ or blocking-firefox3.6+
In other words, for the rest of Thursday and Friday, we'll be keeping
the mozilla-central and mozilla-1.9.2 trees locked to the same set of
checkins. This is in order to ensure that all the automated build and
test boxes are working as expected (should be returning the same
numbers) as well as to keep the trees synchronized since we expect to
build the final Fennec beta from mozilla-central on Friday.
cheers,

Consider this a hand off. The tree is yours.
A couple additional points:
Builds are running off of the new mozilla-1.9.2 repository now, I'll
update this thread again once I'm confident the infrastructure is
working OK.
I've version bumped mozilla-central to 1.9.3a1pre/3.7a1pre.

There's been some question about whether or not we're going to keep
the tree CLOSED or RESTRICTED. To avoid accidental checkins, we're
actually going to keep it CLOSED for now, and will re-open mozilla-
central to all checkins once we're sure that the new mozilla-1.9.3
infrastructure is behaving as planned.
When mozilla-1.9.2 re-opens, it will only be open for checkins on
blocker bugs or for patches that have approval1.9.2+ set.

Per irc clarification, this is an "or", not an "and". That is, you need
one or the other but not both.

People are expected to push to both manually, right?

P.S. The right repository for 1.9.2 seems to be
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2 for those who were unsure.

Good that you updated https://wiki.mozilla.org/TreeStatus with this new
info just a few minutes before I was about to comment here that you
should update it :-)
