One of our goals for autoland is to replace the "checkin-needed" process that is currently done manually by the sheriffs. We still have a few bugs to fix before this is ready, for instance, approval for autolanding is not carried forward for some users if they amend their patch.
Another difference is that sheriffs require a try run before they will land a patch flagged "checkin-needed." In Bug 1239281 we're proposing to implement this requirement for autolanding. The only requirement would be that a try run was made. Which jobs to run would be at the discretion of the person requesting the try run. We would also not enforce having a green try run, I think the results are still too noisy at this point for that to be useful. Some concerns: * Some patches probably don't need a try run prior to landing. On the other hand, people can easily make mistakes on this. * Try jobs are also triggered outside of MozReview, having to run them again inside MozReview would be annoying and/or wasteful of resources. In the long term, I believe this is a feature we want, but I'm looking for feedback on whether or not it is too soon to implement this. If people feel this is too onerous, this could easily be made into a warning rather than a requirement for now. Please comment here or in Bug 1239281.
