684159 - Switch usebuildbot=1 to be the default

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management Graveyard :: TBPL, defect)

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Step two (following "deploy it with it as non-default") along the way to no longer using Tinderbox at all for Firefox-related trees. Once we clear out the blocking regressions, we should make usebuildbot=1 the default, hanging onto a usetinderbox=1 as backup until we're sure we can drop it completely.

Attachment: make buildbot default, provide usetinderbox=1

philor and I have been discussing and it's not 100% clear which of the dependencies here should be "hard" blockers (versus something someone could set "usetinderbox=1" to fix).

Here's a patch to make buildbot the default and provide usetinderbox=1, to get this ball rolling in the meantime.

As of right now, remaining blockers are on the releng side (bug 684158 and bug 685299), and shouldn't require any code changes.

Suggest we block those against bug 625979 instead, and push what we have to production (http://hg.mozilla.org/users/mstange_themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/ rev 1ab2d7a2df59).

This means that Spidermonkey users will need to add "usetinderbox=1" to the URL until the above bugs are fixed.
