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] we have seen thousands of lines of configure and m4 code removed from mozilla-central. We have removed over 30 Makefiles from mozilla-central. The removal of the Makefiles gives us what we need to use more performant build backends in the future. In case you missed it, you can now make Artifact Builds[3] if you are using git[4]. If you find any issues, please raise bugs against Core :: Build Config. Finally, we are seeing huge improvements in build times by switching to Visual Studio 2015. There are however a few regressions in moving to the latest version. gps has asked for assistance[5] in helping finalise what we need to make the move. If you can, help get this over the line!
