So I'm planning to create a new project branch called "profiling". And I also realized that I own a dormant "private-browsing" branch. So let's rename that branch to "profiling". Here's what I need on that branch: * No automated builds and tests * Automated nightlies * Updates enabled * The ability to create new nightlies on demand * Build on all platforms, only optimized (which is I think implicit in only getting nightly builds). At some point in the future, we might want to move users on the nightly branch to that branch for like a week or so, and then back to the nightly channel. We also want some developers who do regular profilings to run those nightly builds as their regular browser as well. It would be great if I can get a rough ETA on this, thanks!

I'm setting this to P1 in the hopes that it gets some attention. :-)

Ehsan, do you want a fresh hg repo, or want the existing one moved?

A new repo would be awesome!

Where's the hg repo located?

http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/profiling/ ?

Need to update graphserver too: http://buildbot-master06.build.scl1.mozilla.com:8201/builders/Rev4%20MacOSX%20Lion%2010.7%20profiling%20talos%20chrome_mac/builds/0/steps/Run%20performance%20tests/logs/stdio Excerpt: FAIL: Graph server unreachable (5 attempts) RETURN:send failed, graph server says: RETURN:No branch_id for a branch_name 'Profiling' can be found RETURN: File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 264, in handleRequest RETURN: metadata = MetaDataFromTalos(databaseCursor, databaseModule, inputStream) RETURN: File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 59, in __init__ RETURN: self.doDatabaseThings(databaseCursor) RETURN: File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 109, in doDatabaseThings RETURN: raise DatabaseException("No branch_id for a branch_name '%s' can be found" % self.branch_name) RETURN: RETURN: main() File "run_tests.py", line 593, in main test_file(arg, options.screen, options.amo) File "run_tests.py", line 563, in test_file raise e utils.talosError: 'Graph server unreachable (5 attempts)\nsend failed, graph server says:\nNo branch_id for a branch_name \'Profiling\' can be found\n File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 264, in handleRequest\n metadata = MetaDataFromTalos(databaseCursor, databaseModule, inputStream)\n File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 59, in __init__\n self.doDatabaseThings(databaseCursor)\n File "/data/www/graphs.mozilla.org/server/pyfomatic/collect.py", line 109, in doDatabaseThings\n raise DatabaseException("No branch_id for a branch_name \'%s\' can be found" % self.branch_name)\n\n' program finished with exit code 1

this will need to be landed on my behalf since I don't have CVS privs

we'll need this too - to generate the snippets for profiling branch
