1603671 - Cleanup docker images for system symbol uploading.

Status: NEW

(Socorro :: Symbols, task, P3)

Description

[Tom Prince [:tomprince]]

In Bug 1596775, the system symbol tasks were landed in-tree mostly unchanged, in order to get them running, but there are a bunch of improvements to be made (see here and here):

• the docker images should be based on the debian images in-tree
• the tools used should be built as toolchains in-tree (many of them are already available)
• verify that the symbol tasks are not repeating the same work on every run, and the max run time decreased

• Use run_task.

Comment 2

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

The list you provided looks comprehensive to me. Another item: add a task for Linux symbols, moving gsvelto's code.

Note that these improvements are not something that I have bandwidth to do at the moment.

Comment 4

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

Out of the three points in comment 0 the first one was addressed but the two remaining ones remain valid. Specifically we need to do the following:

• Switch the system-symbols-mac task to use the dump_syms we already build as part of the toolchain, this way we can stop building the Breakpad-base dump_syms in the Docker image
• Build xar and libdmg as part of the toolchain
• Find if we can still use reposado or if we need to switch to another system to identify Apple update packages

We already have a libdmg toolchain.
