803808 - Update Python on SeaMonkey buildslaves

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Yet another build tool chain change to deal with: Bug 800614 raised the minimum Python version requirement to Python 2.6 on mozilla-central. The SeaMonkey buildboxen currently run Python 2.5. Python needs to updated to get comm-central/mozilla-central building again (maybe even update Python 2.7, whatever works best).

I think the plan might be to be on 2.7 eventually (main build machines are already on 2.7), so targeting 2.7 might be a good idea.

Regarding the Windows build bustage: You need to create a copy of python.exe in D:\mozilla-build\python27 with the name "python2.7.exe" (mozilla-build includes this). The configure.in check relies on this to detect Python 2.7.

Attachment: [configs] add newer python to path

Issue #1, windows non-VMs didn't have python installed

Pulled the 2.7.3 msi (as in MoCo machines and our VM's) and did:

msiexec /i python-2.7.3.msi /quiet /norestart  /log c:\tmp\python27_install.log TARGETDIR=D:\mozilla-build\python27 ALLUSERS=1


Secondly, the patches here ended up not using buildbot python (which has pywin32 installed) in the few cases it needs it, so made sure that is ahead in path (also matching MoCo systems)

For Win32 builders:

copy d:\mozilla-build\python27\python.exe d:\mozilla-build\python27\python2.7.exe
