391681 - Please replace fxexp-win32-tbox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

fxexp-win32-tbox manages to hang every day: it lasts about 6-8 hours before hanging. This is kinda important because it's producing the XR 1.9 builds, which we use to make the Firefox SDK.

I discussed this briefly with preed, and since it's not clear why it's hanging or what we could do about it, it might be easier to replace it with a new-refplatform VM once that is done.

Also upgrading to the new refplatform means that the SDK produced by the build system has a usable "xpidl.exe" binary (statically linked against glib/libidl), which is important.

Benjamin:

I've put the Fx-XR build on xr-win32-tbox for now, with a build interval of six hours.

Does that work for you?

Comment 3

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Yes, thank you!

Comment 4

[J. Paul Reed [:preed]]

A'ight, I'll resolve this and if we need experimental builds for something else, we can setup a tbox specifically for them.

Paul,

Looks like xr-win32-tbox is cycling ok but it's using the feature_newref branch of the configs, so the builds go to 
   ../xulrunner/nightly/experimental/win32-newref/
instead of 
   ../xulrunner/nightly/

Nagios is complaining about stale xulrunner-1.9a8pre.en-US.win32.zip & xulrunner-1.9a8pre.en-US.win32.sdk.zip in nightly/latest-trunk/. Can we swap over to the previous configs now ? Anything to merge over ?

[J. Paul Reed [:preed]]

Good catch; updated; looks like today's builds are pulling the right configs...
