We have ran into an issue prviously when trying to use a new version of python. Specifically anything pass 2.7.6:

Coop, looks like we're going to have issues with mozharness. Can you point us at someone who can help out there?

Comment 3

[Q]

After testing some of the basics before getting to mozharness issues. The python msi installer puts in a new version of pip and that version of pip is throwing multiple errors. I am still working on the pip issues for now and hopefully we will get to the next stages of testing

If it helps to have a machine in staging, I can set one up quickly today.

That would be very helpful

OK, I'm getting b-2008-ix-0008 attached to my master now.

b-2008-ix-0008 is ready now. It's currently picking up random builds, so feel free to kill off whatever it's doing with the 'Stop build' button:

Probably easiest to force a mozilla-central build for testing purposes from the builder page:

http://dev-master2.bb.releng.use1.mozilla.com:8044/builders/WINNT%205.2%20mozilla-central%20build

You'll need to supply a revision in the form (e.g. cdf53a4dee219aabec7462888875bac08b093edc) but should be able to safely leave the other fields blanks.

Here's a build in progress:

Doh' forgot to update ssh keys. The keys are updated, now the completed builds can upload and not fail.

We have cut over to running 2008 in AWS, and we're running 2.7.6 there.

Comment 12

[Q]

On 2.7.6 in AWS. Hardware parity no longer needed as no builders
