1106507 - Many localized Windows Aurora builds missing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

After the branching of Aurora with Gecko 36, not all locales get localized Windows (win32) builds, e.g. German (de) and French (fr). Scroll down to the 36.0a2 builds:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-l10n/

37.0a1 Nightlies don't have the issues:

3 locales succeeded on the 20141201 nightly, the remainder failed. I think this is probably fallout from switching to VS2013 while the code was on mozilla-central, so I've set a clobber for 'Firefox mozilla-aurora win32 l10n nightly'.

This seems to have worked. We have a full complement of Windows l10n repacks for the past few nights:
