487629 - Switch comm-1.9.1 builds to aus2.mozillamessaging.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Messaging Graveyard :: AUS Server, defect)

Description

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Before we can move the remaining 2 build VMs still hosted at MoCo, we need to switch them over to using the MoMo AUS server.

Attachment: pref patch to switch to aus2.mozillamessaging.com

Comment 2

Before that patch can land, this will also need buildbot config changes to send the aus snippets elsewhere.

Comment 3

Have we got aus2.mozillamessaging.com set up to the same (or similar) methods that MoCo use to get their stats? (e.g. number of nightly users based on pings)

IMHO we should be able to track these before we do the switch - otherwise we're likely to loose that data.

Not at all, all that stuff on their end is prety fancy Pentaho stuff we definitely don't have.

I do archive all log date, forever, so the data wouldn't be lost, just much harder to inspect. We definitely need some sort of plan/idea for that kind of data analytics, but it's an area where I am relatively clueless.

Probably a good idea to talk to the folks @ MoCo behind this.

Aditionnal configuration to send comm-1.9.1 nightly update snippets to our own AUS server as well. This will allow for testing our AUS server while keeping updates being served out of the mozilla AUS server.

I've manually sucked out the comm-1.9.1 nightly AUS snippets from MoCo's AUS server and pushed them out to our AUS server, so it's ready for testing.

As already mentioned elsewhere, needed for b3 to allow us to fully test update from MoMo's AUS at b4.

Are the snippets automatically updated nightly yet.
I use the "help>>check for update " option, and rarely go a day without updating.

Seems all is well, as setting app.update.url to
https://aus2.mozillamessaging.com/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml
Updated from 20090713 to 20090714 successfully here.

Currently they are manually copied over. We'll be landing the preference patch after today's (Wednesday) nightlies, Thursday's nightlies will be served from the old server, Friday's nightlies will use MoMo's server.

In between the Thursday and Friday nightlies we'll be changing the config so that we're automatically pushing the updates to the MoMo server.

Checked in: http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/6e2787312bd8

This will be picked up in tomorrow's builds (and the B3 builds) and then we'll switch the builders to post to aus2.momo tomorrow and it will be used for Friday's updates.

Actually, what we'll do instead is close bug 460094 and move the builders from MoCo to MoMo hosts. Same end-result, different way around.

Correct!

Switchover complete. Folks still holding onto a build from before the switch will see 2 updates in a row next time they check for update. One will update them to the latest build that was published on aus2.mozilla.org, then one more to the latest comm-1.9.1 build.
