458243 - x86_64 builds ending up in mozilla-central-linux directory

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

This link will age away in a little while:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-linux/1222953953/

But, rest assured that there is an x86_64 linux build in it.

As far as I know, only i686 builds should be in mozilla-central-linux.  These x86_64 builds looks like they are being misplaced due to a code refactor.

Is this related to linux-x86_64 packages having disappeared from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
some time between Nov 24th and now? (Would actually be a pity if this change was on purpose. As they are built, why not have nightly testers use them?)

Unrelated, actually. Neither of these changes are on purpose. bug 465352 tracks getting the nightly builds back.

What I'd intend to do would be to pick the latest dated dir and pass that as EN_US_BINARY to the wget-en-US target. And then wget-en-US wouldn't find a 32 bit build in that directory, if the 64 bit is coming in with a later time stamp.

The underlying idea is that that latest dep build would expose newer strings than the nightlies, and provide the right build to test the latest l10n changes in.

If we treat 'linux64' as its own platform, files will get uploaded to the right place.

Builds are now getting uploaded in mozilla-central-linux64 / mozilla-1.9.1-linux64.
