User:Sardisson/madhatter

madhatter is a fork of the Tinderbox client that supports building from either CVS or Hg. It was hacked up by Smokey Ardisson to support Camino 2.1 development.

TODO

Usually marked XXX in the code, although some of them are from old tinderbox hackers; this list is not complete

• Show revision info for madhatter self-updates
• In theory, Hg checkout should support pull-by-date: [1], [2]
• Support different branches/tags in each repo
• Improve the changeset generation code and handle failures/errors: [3], [4]

BUGS

• (When building from a branch), getting the Gecko revision fails sometimes (Cm2.1b1)
  • One option might be to get the info from platform.ini/generated/*_changeset cache files in the Camino build, if they're empty. However, currently we do the revision-generation code after cloning rather than at TinderPrint time (so we know where we are in the filesystem), and those files don't exist before a build.
• Need to have self-update and tinder-config update generate a log so someone can at least check locally what's going on when they fail. Ideally, use the next build's log, but that's not set up yet, and return the purple (infra exception) status.
• Clobber of mozilla sometimes fails: [5]
