422298 - mothball old (and unused now) 1.8 Firefox nightly build machines

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

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

In bug#417147, we migrated nightly build production to the release automation machines. We are no longer using:

* pacifica-vm
* prometheus-vm
* bm-xserve02

...to produce nightly builds, and can now mothball these machines.

Summary made me blink a couple of times, so just clarifying it.

prometheus-vm is still being used for generating nightly updates. Will make sure nothing else running on it, but not to mothball this machine for now.

I think we can go ahead and delete pacifica-vm. Do you think we can just transfer nightly updates to production-pacifica-vm?

pacifica-vm is a win32 box, it just does builds and nothing else. Safe to remove I think.

prometheus-vm only does nightly updates now.

It seems like it'd be better to have nightly updates not live on a build machine. Could it live on the AUS server?

Sorry, should have noticed this much earlier, but bm-xserve02 is currently building
 * Tb 2.0.0.x nightlies for en-US and locales
 * Fx 2.0.0.x nightlies for locales
so repurposing it is blocked on the l10n project and automating Thunderbird.

Leaving bm-xserve02 and prometheus-vm running until the other build processes are removed. 

Pacifica-vm powered off and can be deleted after it is backed up (in bug#427832).

Deleted pacifica-vm. 

R.I.P.

If Mark is referring to this bug it is still an active bug. Or do I have install the nightly build?

Did you mean to comment on another bug ?

Turns out to be some harmless confusion of attachment and bug id's.
