614543 - Specify a default hg user name on Linux slaves

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Release Engineering, defect)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

SeaMonkey ran into a problem in the updates step of the 2.0.11 release with an hg abort due to a missing user name. This is what Ben from Mozilla releng says:


<bhearsum> yeah, we hit this too when we upgraded Mercurial
<bhearsum> we ended up adding:
<bhearsum> [ui]
<bhearsum> username = cltbld
<bhearsum> to ~/.hgrc


We should do the same, just with seabld instead of cltbld.

The patch in bug 614541 makes this specific case work as well, but we should care to be safe the next time.

Fixed on:
cb-sea-linux-tbox, cb-seamonkey-linux64-01, cb-seamonkey-linux-01, cn-sea-qm-win2k3-01

I ran the following commands:
cat ~/.hgrc  #Verifying File is not existing
echo "[ui]" > ~/.hgrc
echo "username = seabld" >> ~/.hgrc
cat ~/.hgrc #Verifying final outcome of commands

Callek, thanks a lot!

Erm, cb-seamonkey-linux-02 is missing from your list, have you done it there as well? (-03 is covered by tracker for the case that it comes back up).

err whops, I did do linux-02. and in fact I did *not* do win2k3 (I did the cn-sea-qm-centos5-01 though)...

no idea how I made that mistake
