650291 - If MU builder is not clobbered we should stop earlier

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 590329

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

In bug 650268 /builds/slave/rel-192-mu/build/mozilla was not clobbered and that caused the job to stop.

Any successive job I triggered would fail at "commit_verify_configs" because that step was executed on the first job and there is nothing that can be committed since there are no changes.

If the MU job had stopped before committing anything I would have been able to trigger it again in another slave.

The workaround until clobberer gets fixed is to run manually the steps.

I worked around this by backing out the update verify commit to the tools repo from the first job:
http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/cd5728db1b57
backed out by:
http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/015583a6b6fe

On another note, would it make sense to adjust the commit message to indicate the "from" version?
This:
"Automated configuration bump: update verify configs from 3.6.17 build 2 to 4.0.1 build 1 "
instead of:
"Automated configuration bump: update verify configs for 4.0.1 build 1 "

This is a general release builder problem
