TaskCluster Task-Graph Generation
=================================

The ``taskcluster`` directory contains support for defining the graph of tasks
that must be executed to build and test the Gecko tree.  This is more complex
than you might suppose!  This implementation supports:

 * A huge array of tasks
 * Different behavior for different repositories
 * "Try" pushes, with special means to select a subset of the graph for execution
 * Optimization -- skipping tasks that have already been performed

Bug 1258497: Implement a new taskgraph generation system; r=gps The `taskgraph` package generates TaskCluster task graphs based on collections of task "kinds". Initially, there is only one kind, the "legacy" kind, which reads the YAML files from `testing/taskcluster/tasks` to generate the task graph. Try syntax is implemented by filtering the tasks in the taskgraph after it has been created, then extending the result to include any prerequisite tasks. A collection of `mach taskgraph` subcommands are provided for developers to extend or debug the task-graph generation process.
