I just wanted to let people know that I've been working on a lot of "not
core build system" things lately. I'm still following the component and
a number of bugs and reviews that need action have been piling up. I
feel really bad about that. If anything severe falls through the cracks,
send me a direct email. Hopefully I'll return to the fray soon.
As an aside, *core* build system support is not something that Mozilla
has a full-time staff position for. The staff coverage it has is limited
to work of two people in release engineering (who rightfully get torn
away to do release automation-y things, such as cross-compile OS X on
Linux) and whatever {glandium, ted, me, etc} are able to convince our
respective managers is needed. Our managers are usually pretty generous.
But, lulls in component coverage like this can and will occur until more
people time is committed to maintaining the core build system.
