incremental compilation for opt Rust builds

Hi all, In bug 1437627, I turned on incremental compilation for Rust for local developer opt builds as the default behavior. Debug builds should be using incremental compilation already, and automation builds continue to *not* use incremental compilation, due to environmental considerations that

Re: Unifying the common platform parity-* whiteboard flags as keywords

TL;DR: The keywords will use browser names, not engine names, even for platform bugs. Due to feedback on the bug, the plan is now to add parity-[browser] keywords instead of compat-[engine] keywords so they can be shared with non-platform bugs. We could have keywords for both, but that would

PSA: Visual Studio 2017 15.6 now required to build 61+

While I know I'm tempting fate by sending this out while the patches are still on autoland, I wanted to start giving people a heads-up now that bug 1424281 has been pushed, which will make Visual Studio 2017 15.6 (Update 6) the minimum version required to build Gecko 61+ once it merges to m-c.

Re: Prefs overhaul

Re: PSA: Chrome-only WebIDL interfaces no longer require DOM peer review

Nicholas Nethercote 2018 March 9 at 20:02 What's your definition of XPCOM? This is basically what I'm asking Kris. I define it as the system that Firefox uses to make intra- and inter-language calls between C++ and JS via XPIDL and XPConnect. I'm interested in

Re: Soft code freeze for Firefox 60 starts March 1
