390340 - Revive l10n builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

We're currently lacking some l10n coverage due to machine failures and release activity. Here's the plan for getting back in action:

cerberus-vm     - re-enable builds (win32: Fx/Tb-Trunk, Fx/Tb-Mozilla1.8)
karma           - re-enable builds (linux: Fx/Tb-Mozilla1.8)

xserve05 (died) - move Mozilla1.8 builds to xserve02 (mac: Fx/Tb-Mozilla1.8)
                - move Trunk builds to xserve07      (mac: Fx/Tb-Trunk)

l10n-win32-tbox - set up new ref image (linux: Fx/Tb-Trunk)

Done.

The first is done, on the basis of building Fx, Tb, Fx-l10n, Tb-l10n, then Fx, Tb a couple more times. I didn't want to use --interval when the same box is doing performance tests fof Firefox.

I had some issues with old mozconfigs for Trunk, and will work on that tomorrow (pending other tasks).

l10n-linux-tbox is now providing coverage for Firefox & Thunderbird l10n on the Trunk. Still working on getting a Mac and setting it up; win32 ref platform is not too far off, we'll deploy it for en-US first.

Attachment: Config changes for updated tinderboxes

These are the changes I needed to get l10n working on Intel Mac's and the CentOS 5 ref platform. There is also a bunch of comment culling in the mozconfigs. Please sanity check :-)

lol, as if the header was still for boomer.

Mac builds now cycling on Mozilla-l10n tree, it'd be great if localisers could take a look at them. I'm using a depend build (rather than a clobber), so it'd be useful to confirm that l10n checkins get picked up properly in builds.

Next up, cloning the new windows ref platform.

Update: the new windows ref-platform is about a week away from completion, then a day or so to get it set up (assuming that the move to MSYS doesn't cause major headaches).

Paul pointed out that interval is quite safe to use as builds are done sequentially, so I've adjusted the multi-config.pl for bm-xserve02. It can be paraphrased as 
  Fx en-US
  Fx l10n every 8 hours
  Tb en-US
  Tb l10n every 8 hours
(all 1.8 branch builds).

win32 ref platform is now done and I've set up a new tinderbox based on it. Preliminary tests runs indicate that l10n builds work just fine on MSYS, current cycle time about 35 minutes.

I'm away for a few days but will finish this when I get back.

win32 box is now building Firefox & Thunderbird, leaving this open until I do some checks on the builds. I know that line-endings have changed from Windows to Unix in files like README.txt.

Bug 351476 landed on the trunk a few days ago and I've verified that README.txt and LICENCE have DOS line-endings in win32 locales. 

As all three platforms are cycling quite happily I'm going to call this done. Please file a new bug for any follow-up issues.
