384150 - Switch to fx-linux-tbox for nightly builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

We want to switch to fx-linux-tbox for Linux trunk nightly builds

1) switch it to produce the official trunk nightlies and updates
2) turn on perftests for it (again? They went missing recently)
3) turn off trunk builds and perftests for argo-vm (keep this configuration around for a while, in case we change our mind about this whole fx-linux-tbox thing)

changes for perf test box

point test box at fx-linux-tbox not argo-vm

Comment 5

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

Here's the plan for this:

1) disable "Fx-Trunk-Test" on bl-bldlnx02
2) disable "Fx-Trunk-Cairo" on argo-vm

"disable" here means "comment out from multi-config.pl".

Then, these patches can be landed, and bl-bldlnx01/argo-vm and argo-vm will be hidden from the Firefox tree.

Sorry, that should read "bl-bldlnx01". This is done.

> 2) disable "Fx-Trunk-Cairo" on argo-vm

Also done.

Oh, one more thing:

3) update fx-linux-tbox to pull from trunk not feature_gcc411 branch

This is done.

Looks like it's working; I'll close this tomorrow once we know if the nightly goes ok.

Comment 10

[Adam Guthrie]

Nit: both --enable-libxul and --enable-places-bookmarks are enabled by default, so they're not needed. I think it'd be best to use as little explicit enabling as possible so we don't run into problems if something gets turned off by default.

[Adam Guthrie]

Also, rhelmer switched this box to report to a new graphs server. I think it'd be best to keep sending it to the old one for reference, since it's essentially the same data, just using a different build to get it. Or is my logic flawed here?

It's not going to the new graph server, just a new graph on the build-graphs server. Not sure which is the right way to do this; I think what I've done is going to be less surprise.

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

switched to fx-linux-tbox; let's discuss elsewhere about the name of the graph, etc.
