Currently if you specify

-p macosx

it still builds mobile platforms (thus wasting server time). Instead mobile is configured using a separate -m flag. Why not simply add the various mobile platforms to the list of platforms handled by the -p flag?

Possibly allow -p mobile  and  -p desktop   if people really need the ability to build all of desktop or all of mobile.

This issue will be addressed in the next round of trychooser improvements, but currently needs to wait on work for bug 589847 to finish so that it's clearer how the mapping to live configs will be done.

In my work on bug 589847 it's becoming more apparent to me why -m was put as separate which is that mobile builds aren't opt or debug and also they are generated separately from the desktop builders so it made sense to have them created in their own function.

bug 589847 will remove the need for a separate -m flag, once that is landed this bug can be closed.

bug 589847 has landed and try syntax has been updated in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Build:TryChooser as well as http://people.mozilla.org/~lsblakk/trychooser/ to reflect the new usage of -p/--platform
