First round of getting OTR messaging into Thunderbird is going to involve downloading and caching prebuilt versions of libotr itself and its dependencies.

Taskcluster can fetch, verify, and cache a URL without too much work. Fetch tasks are all defined in the Mozilla checkout using the "reference_loader". A new loader is needed that is able to combine the generated jobs data for the past few days. This new "merge_loader" will make use of the current "reference_loader" implementation as well as "transform_loader".

The basic idea is to create a new loader that will make use of the existing reference_loader to look for kind definitions in M-* first, then use the "jobs-from" functionality to bring in some jobs defined in C-*.

Attached patch Patch 1 - merge_loader.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This is the Taskcluster merge_loader. Using the merge loader, tasks within a single kind can come from both M-C and C-C trees. The implementation calls the reference_loader function followed by the transform_loader function, merging the two loaders into one. As noted in the commit message, there are issues when the kind has dependencies. I believe it is only a problem when a task within a kind depends on another task of the same kind. This happens quite a bit with toolchains for instance. The initial use case for this is for some fetch tasks, and there are no dependency issues there.

Task configuration that grabs Kai's prebuilt OTR libraries from his server so they can be included in Taskcluster builds. Uses merge_loader. Currently broken.

Comment on attachment 9089913 [details] [diff] [review] Patch 2 - otr_fetches.patch This are the fetch tasks that will retrieve Kai's prebuilt libraries and modifications to the build configurations so they depend on those files. Only submitting for review, waiting for a green light to actually land these.

I confirm the file hashes are correct.

If you have suggestions to improve package-manifest.in, let me know. Hopefully some creative Makefile flags can improve the situation in the next iteration.

Rob, as soon as this bug is fixed, will all published builds contain the binaries?

Can you also port this to the 68.x branch?

Bug 1518166 is ready pending a couple of reviews/approvals so there's no need to use the prebuilt libraries.
