Axel suggested this in bug 511510. We should offer a major update to users who are using 3.5 nightlies to bring them up to the 3.6 branch. We would only have to worry about en-US; there are no l10n nightly updates for 3.5.

There might not be any updates, but there are users, AFAICT from pentaho. I'd welcome if we moved those people that got stuck on a nightly localized build of 3.5 to something real.

do we still need to do this?

Metrics is showing me a grand total of 1,000 people on these builds. I don't think it's worthwhile spending time generating snippets for these folks, but when Balrog is in production, this will be trivially easy.

We could just change http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/aus/xml/inc/config-dist.php#204 to 'mozilla-1.9.2' and do a minor update.

I'll ask drivers about it and make the change if they OK it.

Sounds good, make it so! On Jan 13, 2012, at 5:58 AM, Ben Hearsum <bhearsum@mozilla.com> wrote: > Hey folks, > > We've got about 1,000 users on the 3.5 nightly channel. It's a trivial change to give these users minor updates to 3.6 nightlies, can I go ahead and do that? > > - Ben
