374328 - Updates are not being pushed for nightlies; partial .mar files not present

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve England [:stevee]]

A la bug 373649, partial .mar files don't appear to be being generated, or if they are, they're not making it to the ftp, so no updates are being pushed to nightly testers.

Last partials for trunk windows were in

No partials in subsequent nightlies

Nightly update generation was temporarily disabled; I've re-enabled it. I'll keep an eye on the logs to make sure it starts running again.

My build from the 15th just received an update to the 19th so it appears to be working now (confirmed by http://update-watch.localgho.st/nightly/production/latest/ except for sb-mozilla1.8).

May I ask (politely) why update generation was disabled, and why it wasn't re-enabled for almost 4 days? I also didn't see any comments stating that generation had been disabled until now. Making nightly updates more awkward for testers is a small but noticeable annoyance.

Great, thanks for verifying this!

It was disabled while we were working on the machine, and was accidentally left off.

The main reason it took so long is that it was reported on Saturday, and I didn't check my mozilla mail until Monday morning. We do 24/7 support on some tinderboxes now, but that doesn't currently include the nightly update system.

We don't yet have any active monitoring besides cf's awesome update-watch service, we are working on getting this hooked into our nagios monitor so that we can be automatically notified.

Please feel free to contact build@ (or use the .build newsgroup) if you have any more questions or concerns.

I haven't seen an update since 3/29/07. Is this broken again? I also tried Help:Check for Updates, but that too came up empty.

Thanks.

Same here

Both Thunderbird (0329) and Minefield (0329) trunk cannot find 0330 build update.
