Since there are a large amount of instances (approx 12k) that would
need to be fixed across the code base, I would propose that we roll it
out on a per-directory basis. For example, we could do all of browser/
at the start of the 64 cycle just after the merges (alternately the
end of the 63 cycle during soft freeze), then do toolkit/ at the next
merge time, and then pick up the rest at the end. This will limit the
scope of possible bitrotting to smaller chunks, as well as making the
patch sizes more manageable.
I've not heard any negative comments, so I am moving forward with this.
Having looked at the stats a bit more, I'm going to land this in two
chunks. The first will be to enable the rule on files in these
sub-directories of mozilla-central:
browser/ services/ toolkit/ taskcluster/
I'm aiming to land these on Friday (31st August), ahead of the 63 merges
to beta. As others suggested, this should make uplifts easier. Bug
1486739 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1486739> is
tracking this.
For the rest of the files, I'm currently looking at Friday 19 October,
ahead of the 64 merges to beta. Bug 1486741
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1486741> will track this part.
Mark.
