951741 - Stop uploading xulrunner symbols to symbol server

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[(not currently active) Ted Mielczarek]

We don't actually accept crash reports for xulrunner, so these symbols are taking up unnecessary space on the symbol server.

We should stop running uploadsymbols for xulrunner builds entirely.

Ideally we'd put the symbols.zip into the release directory on FTP for others to use but that can be a separate bug. (It's already in the candidates dir, just doesn't get moved to the releases dir.)

from irc - this is for all xulrunner builds, nightly, release, etc.

These two lines need changing:

Modified the two lines catlee referenced.

I'm starring the way that the XULRunner nightlies are now permared because they are still trying to upload symbols but someone must have removed the symbols_xr/ directory as this bug, just so you know they're permared.

I'm not aware of anyone removing the symbols_xr directory, but it's possible it happened.

Didn't this bug come from a shortage of space on the partition for storing symbols ? If so, I wouldn't be at all surprised that symbols_xr/ was removed. Both IT and RelEng are in a change freeze until Jan 3, so deployment of the patch here should wait. Perhaps IT can recreate the dir until then ?

Bug 951750 confirms it was removed. Bug 953243 to temporarily recreate it.

We're killing XULRunner builds in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1147577, thus WONTFIX.
