Hi Ryan, good news.
One thing that's a bit unfortunate from the l10n perspective is the svn drop. SVN is still used quite frequently to host the website localizations, so keeping that in would be helpful. Axel, who should probably give this a test run in reals on his VM. On 3/9/15 2:44 AM, Ryan VanderMeulen wrote:
For the past many months, I have been working on some major updates to the Mozillabuild package in order to make it more developer-friendly and easily-maintainable in the future. I am proud to say that at this time, it is ready for more widespread testing. The latest test build can be downloaded from the link below: http://people.mozilla.org/~rvandermeulen/MozillaBuildSetup2.0.0pre4.exe sha1sum: 9edb5c51bdb5f9a5d86baf5046967d8940654353 Release notes are available below. A few general notes: * It is strongly advised that you *NOT* install this over a previous 1.x install. Changes have been made to the directory structure and underlying packages that could result in unexpected results should you choose to do so. * As is always the case when updating Mozillabuild, you should clobber after installing. * Bugs that you come across can be filed in the mozilla.org::MozillaBuild component. My goal is to ship the final release in two weeks, so any feedback you can provide now would be welcome! Thanks, Ryan ----------------- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES * Added support for MSVC2015 and dropped support for MSVC <2013, WinSDK <8.1, and MSVC Express Edition. - MSVC Community Edition is now the recommended free compiler option * Added minTTY 1.1.3 and enabled it as the default console. - Windows cmd.exe can be used by default by removing the 1 from |SET USE_MINTTY=1| near the top of start-shell.bat * Overhauls to the start-msvc* batch scripts that improve consistency and simplify maintenance. - To launch a plain terminal with no MSVC path setting, use start-shell.bat (was start-shell-l10n.bat in previous releases) * Updated Mercurial to version 3.3.2 and switched to the native python version. - Allows extensions like bzexport that rely on previously-unavailable python components to work correctly. - Enables faster future updates in the event of serious bugs or security issues. - Enabled extensions: blackbox, color, histedit, mq, pager, progress, purge, rebase, share, transplant - See the Known Issues section for regressions from this change. * Updated python to version 2.7.9. - Included packages: pip 6.0.8, setuptools 14.0, virtualenv 12.0.7 OTHER UPDATES/ADDITIONS/REMOVALS * Removed SVN * Updated 7-zip to version 9.20 * Updated bundled CA certs to those from NSS 3.17.4 * Updated emacs to version 24.4 * Updated MSYS to version 1.0.18 and various components to the latest available for MSYS1 * Updated wget to version 1.16.1 KNOWN ISSUES * Changes in behavior due to using minTTY instead of Windows cmd.exe * Problems with python scripts that can't find an hg executable in the path (bug 1128586, bug 1131048)
