773876 - partner repack's download_pkg-dmg step does not retry failed wget

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect, P3)

Description

[John Hopkins (:jhopkins)]

We need to wrap this wget with a retry loop.

Example session:

bash -c 'wget http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/FIREFOX_14_0_1_RELEASE/build/package/mac_osx/pkg-dmg'

Not a priority to fix because it's rare that we hit it, and easy to recover from.

hit on ff23.0 build2

One thing to watch for: wget will not overwrite an existing file without -O <filename> so you could end up with pkg-dmg.1, pkg-dmg.2, etc.. as it retries and be left with a partial pkg-dmg file when the wget finally succeeds.
