827903 - Avoid the need to stop/start the foopies to deploy a newer SUT agent

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

verify.py has the ability to update the SUT agent if specified.

IIRC it would cause the job to look red.

Perhaps we can decouple the need to update the sut agent on the first run of verify.py and have a second run of verify.py at the end of the job which only updates the sut agent.

I'm speaking from memory so I can be wrong.

I can help with this if this is wanted.

Not sure if this is still an issue since clientproxy is gone.  I updated all the foopies this morning and the steps I used were
graceful all mobile masters
update foopies
start masters
It took less than an hour.

This is even easier now since at-end-of-job the slaves disco from buildbot then run verify.py (which does the SUT update) then starts buildbot again!
