543067 - Comment out all WinCE jobs from masters

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

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

Despite the recent "deprioritizing" of WinCE, we're still doing WinCE builds-on-checkin, nightlies, etc. This means we're still causing unnecessary load on pool-o-slaves which delays necessary Win32 and WinMO work.

From talking to shaver just now, he's ok with disabling these WinCE jobs, so long as we could re-activate them quickly enough at some point in the future. 

so, I suggest:
1) comment out all the WinCE entries in buildbot masters asap.
2) leave all the WinCE toolchains on the slaves
3) leave WinCE entries in graphserver, etc, to make the possible WinCE revival easier.

I reconfigured master1.cfg and there are no signs of WinCE builders.

> BRANCHES['mozilla-1.9.2']['l10n_platforms'] = ['linux','win32','macosx','wince'] 

Why do we leave these enabled ? Seem to be not adjusted on lots of branches, prod and staging. 

NB: Bug 508674 cause you bitrot of mozilla2-staging/config.py, but actually makes what you want to do much easier. 

How about the try server ?

Would be good to blog/post to the newsgroups that WinCE builds were intentionally turned off.

I had to clean some bitrotteness after the changes in bug 508674 landed and I removed the wince lines instead of commenting them out.

I have joined all three patches so we don't have to do multiple landings.

This is fine, but please remove the 'wince' entries in master1/master2.cfg when you land it.

I removed the three WinCE files from the checks on firefox/latest-blah-blah to shush nagios.
