switch to macosx cross-compiled builds on taskcluster on trunk

[Kim Moir]

(I apologize for the late notice on this, I forgot to include dev-platform
in the original earlier email)


At 11:00PT today, we will be landing patches to run mac opt builds on trunk
as cross compiled builds on Linux machines on taskcluster. As this change
is uplifted to m-c, nightly builds for mac will also switch to run on
taskcluster on Linux. We will be testing to ensure that updates work as
expected. We don’t expect any impact to developers as this has been tested
extensively on a project branch as well as by manual testing by PI.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has worked on this change. I know
there were a bunch of nasty obstacles to making this happen, and a ton
of work by many people went into it. This change is awesome, both in
terms of allowing us to better scale our Mac build infrastructure and in
terms of allowing us to build/ship Stylo on Mac.

+1 to that. So great to see so many parts of the org coming together to
make something like this happen!

Status update:

We have successful cross compiled macosx opt builds running on trunk. We
also have run a successful nightly cross compiled nightly on m-c. We are
going to leave the rule in place that blocks updates for macosx nightlies
so we can test and update from tonight's nightly to tomorrow's nightly on
the test channel, before enabling updates for all nightly users.

Does this have affect on our still using the 10.7 Mac SDK? I've had to
add a number of hacks to imported code to make it buildable on 10.7 SDK,
and we can't use certain newer features/APIs because of it.

We are still building against the macOS 10.7 SDK, but we can update to 10.9
once we've confirmed transition away from the 10.7 builders.

I uploaded the 10.12 SDK to tooltool a few months ago[1]. We needed to
update the linker we were using before we could switch, but that may
have already happened.

After successful testing this morning, we have now enabled macosx nightly
updates again.

The migration is complete, enjoy your cross compiled builds and more
scalable CI infrastructure.

\o/ Congratulations to everyone involved in making this happen! (Take a
breath.) On to release!

This was a multi-year project, and I'm ecstatic to see it finally come
to fruition. Thanks to everyone who's been involved in getting this
across the line.
