83408 - Include pkgcp.pl and xptlink.pl to Tinderbox

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, enhancement, P3)

Description

[J.J. Enser]

Tinderbox builds should run pkgcp.pl and possible xptlink.pl since this is 
currently only done by verification builds. (at least on mac)

Making the cycle orange if one of the 2 fails (or returns warnings) would raise 
the visibility of such problems rarely seen otherwise.

Making this bug "all platforms" to begin with, we might file 1 per platform later 
if necessary. (patches will vary)

ccing mcafee in case he has the time and interest in hacking this into any of
the tinderbox scripts.

This would be a huge win in keeping verification builds happy since tinderbox
will show immediately if someone forgets to update the packages-* files or any
xptlink problems like the current 6 month old mac oji problem so setting to 0.9.3.

[Chris McAfee]

I need to know what pkgcp.pl and xptlink.pl do, does one
just run these in dist/bin after the build is done?

[Jon Granrose]

ns/build/unix/verification/seamonkey-build is the unix automation and shows what
arguments pkgcp.pl and xptlink.pl want or you can look at
/u/cltbld/logs/make_moz.linux22.old to see the command lines sans variables.

retargetting to 0.9.4 for now, and cc'ing peterv since he might be able to help 
me figure out how to plug pkgcp.pl and xptlink.pl to the mac build script.

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've 
moved)

We currently don't use pkgcp.pl with the mach-o build but this might change in
the future.
We do run xptlink as part of nightly builds, so that's still a valid enhancement
for tinderbox, and probably easier to implement than in the defunct cfm build.

engineer gone, wontfix.  if you want it, reopen the bug and reassign it to 
yourself.
