Hi, Unified builds have been around for about two weeks. They are nice because they make the build so much faster. On the other hand, we know they currently break crash reports on mac (bug 943695), and can break things in subtle ways (bug 942421, bug 943839). We don't know what problems are still hiding.
I think it's time, 9 days before the merge, to think about whether we want unified builds to ride the train or not. I'm almost tempted to suggest that we disable unified builds on nightlies, but that would probably hide the problems even more. Incidentally, in those two weeks, I did two attempts at building without unified sources, resulting in me filing 4 bugs in different modules for problems caused by 6 different landings[1]. I think it is time to seriously think about having regular non-unified builds (bug 942167). If that helps, I can do that on birch until that bug is fixed. Thoughts? Mike 1. For the curious: bugs 942137, 944830, 944834 and 944835, caused by bugs 932102, 942492, 943293, 944172, 943712 and 941559. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
