I’ve been remiss in reading planet.m.o, so I didn’t catch this until now.

It’s interesting to see how history gets a bit distorted though.

If you look at LOC counts in mozilla/tools/release, rhelmer and I, by far, did most of the work getting the 1.8-branch automation going; joduinn more or less did the buildbot master configs (which merely call the Bootstrap automation steps in the correct order; an important component to be sure), but most of the automating of the process was rhelmer and I.

(And, for the sake of historical accuracy, I was on the hook for implementing that in bug 375788, until joduinn ordered–and I use the term very deliberately, because it wasn’t presented as an option, and I discussed it with him at some length until he shut the discussion down–me to reassign all of the automation bugs to him (not the Build pool, him personally).

(I think what’s especially interesting is when we were interviewing joduinn, he went on and on about how he wasn’t planning on coming in and taking credit for the automation work that had been going on for 6+ months before he got here. “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice…”)

Anyway, just a minor correction, in the interest of openness and accuracy, which Mozilla Corporation drones on about being so interested in.

It’s great to have you working on this, welcome!
