195435 - nightly OSX build invalid - automation needs work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

There is no latest-1.3 build for Mac available from ftp.mozilla.org. In fact, it
doesn't appear there have been any 1.3 branch builds for Mac.

[Jon Granrose]

we know.

Comment 2

[Joseph Delaney]

There's one there now, but it crashes on startup.

Comment 3

[Frankie]

FWIW: The crash on launch in latest-1.3 is apparently just a freaky coincidence,
unrelated to the quit on launch in latest-trunk, which is covered by bug 195654.

Comment 4

[Frankie]

The good news: latest-1.3 20030304 is a svelte 41531 byte download (1000-to-1
compression!), and doesn't crash with "can't open libdl.0.dylib".

The bad news: even after bug 195897 gets fixed, this bug might continue.

still crashing on attempt to start with mac mozilla build 2003-03-05-10-1.3

Comment 6

[J.J. Enser]

Odd, i fired up the build from the build machine itself and it launches fine there.
Continuing investigations...

Attachment: console crash log - dyld

Since Talkback doesn't catch this crash, here's a log for the official record.

Comment 8

[J.J. Enser]

The crash on startup is a different issue discussed in bug 196115.
Let's not mix all the OSX issues please, unless we decide to make this bug a
"tracking" bug.

This was originally entered as a blocker since the bits available on the wire
were unusable (anywhere between 4Kb and 50Kb).

The proper fix for this is to improve the nightly build automation by handling
errors and not package & distribute invalid bits.

That's what this bug is all about, so I'll rename it for better clarity.
If new crashers occur, please log new bugs.

Sorry. Being faced with FOUR simultaneous but independent build failure bugs in
OS X was rather confusing.

But something must be working right; I'm posting this using latest-1.3 20030306.

Tell me about it, they're almost all mine! :-)

That's great news. success was achieve by using a trick on the build machine
(see bug 196115)
Asa will probably cook this build when he gets to his mac. Let him know if you
find anything bad yourself. I'll see if I can get someone to smoketest it.

fixed on the trunk. (patch unavailable here because it's also doing Netscape
packaging)
for 1.3, unless something really bad breaks the build, we shouldn't see anymore
invalid bits on the wire. If it happens, they will be promptly removed.
