447629 - Tracking bug for Thunderbird Tinderboxen migration to buildbot

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

As part of the migration to Mercurial, we have also decided to take the opportunity to switch over the Thunderbird tinderboxen producing the nightly builds over to buildbot.

Once completed, we'll be migrating them to MoMo's hardware.

I'll be tracking in this bug what is getting to:
 - tbnewref-win32-tbox
 - tb-linux-tbox
 - bm-xserve07

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Stopped old CVS Tinderbox on:
 - tbnewref-win32-tbox
 - tb-linux-tbox

Left bm-xserve07 alone for now, it's also running XULrunner builds, need to sort that out.

Comment 8

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

I commmented out the Thunderbird build in /builds/tinderbox/multi-config.pl, and set the XULRUnner build to go at most every hour (--interval). FYI, a XULRunner hourly seems to take about 10 minutes, a nightly about 30. Also gave the multi-tinderbox process a HUP signal to pick the config change.

FYI, we modify buildbot.tac to have "umask = 002" to avoid some problems publishing nightly update snippets etc.

Closing, as we are all green and bits are being published.
