899533 - Start mozilla-esr17 nightly builds much earlier

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #855744 +++

Any reason not to? Seems like the same logic applies that we used for Aurora.

If we do this, we'd obviously want to do the same for esr24 when the day comes as well.

Attachment: set esr17 nightly start time to 00:05

Bug 855744 dropped Aurora's start time by 3h40m, so let's do the same for esr17.

John, I think this is held up on someone officially saying "Yes, we want to do this". Are you OK with this?

I don't think this needs anyone else's approval. These builds are only used by QA to make sure the updater still works.

We run a full set of tests for those builds. But we are fine with it. That also lowers the load of our machines during peak times.
