590969 - Optimize tools repo checkout for unit test jobs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 712205

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

On Windows machines can be more than 30 seconds process.
We currently clobber it and then check it out again when we could do "hg pull -u; hg up -C"

could we figure out which scripts we actually need and hit hgweb for those specific files?

wget http://%(hghost)s/%(toolsRepoPath)s/raw-file/%(rev)/%(fileNeeded)s

I think unpack for dmg files. I believe we also use it for freeing space but there is plenty of space on the minis so I don't see the point.

I think we're clobbering configs and tools because of staging -- we can pull a different repository.

Comment 4

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

We could also pull the required tools from http directly, and avoid using hg.

Comment 5

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

Still wanted?

Comment 6

Let me analyze it on bug 661585.

We might just wget the raw file we need from that repo instead of checking out the tools repo.
