Our automation uses a heavily patched older version of MozillaBuild (based on 1.2 or 1.3 IIRC). With recent changes to how we deploy things on Windows, it might be easier. One complication is how we support older branches. If this is something that requires in tree changes that ride the trains, supporting older branches may get very complicated, because Buildbot runs inside of MozillaBuild, so delegating to a different set of tools from inside of Buildbot may not be possible. _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list dev-builds@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
