656995 - run w64 builds from a production master machine

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

W64 builds, which are only just barely in production, are currently run from a staging master, but sent into production for testing.  This is a sketchy way to leave things.

Let's move that master instance onto a production master VM somewhere, and add it (the master) to the slavealloc UI so we don't forget about it.

sounds good :)

Apart from a lack of slaves, is there any reason we can't finish off any config work and run w64 from the main production buildbot masters ? They're defacto supported already.

Comment 3

[Armen [:armenzg]]

The only reason is that I have not given to it a high enough priority.

I also need to figure out if I want the machine to be doing builds on check-in or not.

Out of curiosity, will we be mw64-ix-slave01 with the new ref image ?

*cough* 'scuse me. 

Out of curiosity, will we be re-imaging mw64-ix-slave01 with the new ref image ?

[custom] disable xulrunner for win64

The very code you're modifying provides a way to disable xulrunner on win64 without putting (more) platform specific hacks in buildbotcustom.

Yes we will. Even though the tools are pretty much the same.

Attachment: add win64 to only mozilla-central

I could have used 'platforms' key for each branch and have one more for mozilla-central but I believe that adding a hack on a clean area made me uneasy.

I believe that my patch isolates the hack and won't be mixed with other people making changes to the code.

But let me know if you prefer other way of doing this.

I hope we have a bigger pool in 2-3 weeks so we can add it for every branch.

I have filed a bug for the xulrunner issue.

Lets hope this really is short lived. Have you looked at win64 debug builds at all ?

I will run them again today and see where they are at. I can't recall if I disable them because I wanted to have a higher number of build on check-in for the single slave or if they were red or both.

It seems it times out at make buildsymbols; that could not be good as it might require tool fixes rather than code fixes. I will debug it before we start cloning machines. Thanks nthomas.

Landed on default:

I tried to get leak builds up to speed but for now it won't happen as we have these 2 bugs: bug 669384 and bug 670915.
