1008514 - The build of B2G Desktop used on Gaia-Try ought to be checked for staleness

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

Bug 1008414 was caused by letting the copy of Gecko used on Gaia-Try get very out of date (8 days).  Can we please set of some sort of monitoring (nagios?) to verify that the copy of B2G Desktop that Gaia-Try is using is not extremely old.

I don't know how often we expect m-c checkins, but if this build is more than 24 hours older than the last checkin to mozilla-central, there's probably a bug.

There are fresh builds there, but the latest symlink isn't being updated properly. 

The ftp server doesn't show dangling symlinks so you don't notice looking at http://ftp.m.o, but in b2g/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-linux32_gecko/ we have:
  latest -> 1398956171    (which is from May 1)
and inside latest:
       10 May  5 17:52 1399330923 -> 1399330923
       10 May  5 18:54 1399334323 -> 1399334323
...
       10 May  9 15:44 1399668845 -> 1399668845
       10 May  9 17:38 1399676522 -> 1399676522
     1722 May  1 09:31 b2g-32.0a1.multi.linux-i686.checksums
      778 May  1 09:31 b2g-32.0a1.multi.linux-i686.json
 82103575 May  1 09:31 b2g-32.0a1.multi.linux-i686.tar.bz2
194239426 May  1 09:31 b2g-32.0a1.multi.linux-i686.tests.zip

So the post_upload.py patch from bug 986209 isn't working as expected.

Bah, this is for monitoring. I'll take the rest to bug 1008513.

All the filenames have some sort of version in them, unless we use the en-US dir (but not sure if existing nagios plugins will take dir over the usual file).
