390519 - Create "production" mac buildbot slave for TRUNK

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

We already have staging buildbot slave (bm-xserve14). We also need an identical buildbot slave for production pool...

bm-xserve12.build.mozilla.org has been reimaged and is now ready for buildbot slave to be installed.

The buildbot slave "macosx-slave2" is now installed in the cltbld account, and seems to be working fine.

While waiting for build-console.build.mozilla.org to be setup, I wanted to sanity check that this new slave works correctly. So, I've temporarily added macosx-slave2 to the existing staging-build-console buildmaster, and triggered a build. This same step worked fine with buildbot slave macosx-slave1, so should work equally well with this new macosx-slave2.

macosx-slave2 starts ok, but the tinder-config step within the macosx-build failed with the following error:

For now, I've put back staging-build-console to use the previous macosx-slave1, which works, so that end-to-end runs continue to work, while we debug.

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

Turns out our instructions were missing a step. Added instructions for missing Config::General at: 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/ReferencePlatforms/BuildBot#Install_python
..which fixed this.

Note: because this machine (bm-xserve12) is Intel based, not PowerPC, we cannot use it for the Mozilla1.8 / FF2.0.0.x branch. However, we can use this for TRUNK / FF3.x branch, so updating summary accordingly.

Slave is still running ok. However, need buildmaster to handle TRUNK in addition to the 1.8 branch before we can close this bug. 

Havent been able to work on this recently, so putting this back in the pool for now.
