Since both accounts and accounts-latest were showing "baby cannon", it seems that no one is really paying attention there. I propose we move over to using danny's servers, i.e., nightly.dev.lcip.org and latest.dev.lcip.org.
I've CNAME'd the old server names to the new ones for now, but we should probably remove those. -chris On May 20, 2014, at 12:10 PM, Danny Coates <[email protected]> wrote: > As the scope of FxA projects grow and new repositories are added keeping a > development environment up to date and functional becomes increasingly more > difficult.
