Below is a highlight of all work the build peers have done in the last 2 weeks as part of their work to modernise the build infrastructure.
Since the last report[1] a large number of improvements have landed in Mozilla Central. We have been experimenting with making a global cache available to all engineers. This has seen build times drop by, in some cases, up to 8 minutes. The time improvements are highly dependent on your local machine and internet connection but show great promise! We have also shaved off 22mb of all-tests.json, which is a great improvement for both local builds and builds in automation. Finally, Old-configure m4+shell has shrunk by 20% since the beginning of the year. As mentioned in the previous status email, this will allow us to replace the build backend with a more performant tool.
