735249 - Need linux builder loan to debug builder compile fail issues

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task, P3)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

We're getting unexplained errors on linux builders:

https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=10023932&tree=Alder

We get no errors on local Ubuntu 11 or Fedora 15 builds; math.h is included, and we're pretty stumped, and will need to look over the includes on an actual builder; maybe even look at pre-processed output.

We could use a loan of a linux builder for a day or two.

Thanks!

Randell: are you still using this slave? It's fine if you are, I'm just trying to keep tabs on loaned hardware.

Randell - ping?  still using this slave?

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Actually yes, though I'll probably be done with it soon.  It was important for debugging build issues with include files for importing libsctp, and this work is not quite finished.

not a problem, if it's being used then it is all yours.

if it was idle, then I would have sent the kitten ninja squad after it

It's been a month, are you still using this?

While it's still of use occasionally, it's not enough for me to hold it anymore.  I'll re-request if I need it (and I might in a week or two).  Thanks for pinging, and thanks for the loan - I could never have debugged a bunch of build issues without access to the include trees, etc.  (FYI: if there was an easy place to get easy copies of what a builder filesystem looks like, some of my issues would not have needed access (though the compile-tweak-repeat cycle is a lot faster when directly on, so an easy-to-install VM image would be almost as good as a real builder.))

We used to have a downloadable copy of a VM image, but that's unmaintained at this point. I think the long term goal here is to use Vagrant or something similar to enable people to build their own images. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen for awhile.

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave02 is back in production.
