The endtimes patch for Tinderbox has landed

Posted at 12:12 in Mozilla and mZ and planet.m.o.

Over in bug 334592, justdave and morgamic were to address the patchy nature of the tinderbox.mozilla.org install. The bug had slipped by me when it was originally filed and I discovered it only a couple of weeks ago.

Based on LOC I'm the biggest transgressor, so last week I finished up (or at least pushed along) the project I started last year of updating the Tinderbox waterfall display for accuracy's sake. I tossed the current Tinderbox install into my brushed nickel patch collander and out came 10 patches, each now attached to the bug. The biggest of these was my "new fangled display/endtimes" patch which cls and bear have already got checked into Tinderbox's CVS home.

Doing the original work in June 2005 took much effort and it's great to see that work through so others can have access to this code for their Tinderbox installs.
