377790 - Create buildbot scripts for running l10n tests in test farm

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

To verify the repack process, a number of tests will need to be added to an automated framework and run on a nightly basis (at minimum).

Order of operation should be (on each platform):
1) download en-US
2) download localized repacks
3) run ./verify_l10n.sh
4) run additional tests when available

Results can be reported to tinderbox and/or litmus.

If we still want to do this, and I'd say it's marginal value as is, it's certainly lower priority than other l10n tasks right now, so off to Future.

That said, if we'd had a check on complete mar files it would have caught bug 466894 before release time.

Axel, we are doing triaging of futured bugs and we would like to hear your input on this. Is this still useful? If so could you extend on which tests would be useful to run.

Comment 3

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I don't have any stakes in this bug.

This is about a continuous check how verify_l10n.sh would be doing in a release cycle. That might have value, but probably more for releng than for l10n.

Thanks Axel for your comments. We will triage accordingly.

I agree with comment #1, I don't think there's much value-added here.

Moving closed Future bugs into Release Engineering in preparation for removing the Future component.
