Hi Chris,

This shouldn't require any changes to developers' build process. It should make it easier to reproduce the builds that happen as part of our automation though!

Cheers,
Chris

wondering if I need to update any of the Build instructions on MDN.

Hi,

Yesterday we switched how B2G device builds on the trunk trees [1] get built.

We are keeping copies of each device's manifest up-to-date in the tree will the 
revisions for each project fully specified. e.g. 
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/b2g-inbound/file/fa8e7793c44b/b2g/config/mako/sources.xml

In the background, we have tools running that checkout the b2g-manifests repo, 
and then for each device load the official upstream manifest, follow all the 
includes, and resolve all revision references in the manifest to absolute 
commit ids, and then land those into gecko.

This will be a big help to sheriffs, as it pins down the revisions of various 
b2g repositories used for each gecko change.

Please let me know if you see any problems with the builds as a result of this 
change. Work is being tracked in bug 899969 [2].

Thanks!
Chris
