If you saw the platform lightning talk by Jeff and Ehsan in London, you will know that in the Toronto office, we have set up a distributed compiler called `icecc`, which allows us to perform a clobber build of mozilla-central in around 3:45. After some work, we have managed to get it so that macOS computers can also dispatch cross-compiled jobs to the network, have streamlined the macOS install process, and have refined the documentation some more.
If you are in the Toronto office, and running a macOS or Linux machine, getting started using icecream is as easy as following the instructions on the wiki: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Using_Icecream If you are in another office, then I suggest that your office starts an icecream cluster! Simply choose one linux desktop in the office, run the scheduler on it, and put its IP in the Wiki, then everyone can connect to the network and get fast builds! If you have questions, myself, BenWa, and jeff are probably the ones to talk to. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
