build 1

Failed steps

  • release verification fails because a different options in mozconfig files, android/nightly and andorid/releases. Filed bug 901892 and proposed a patch.
  • {firefox|xulrunner|fennec}_source failed bug 902066
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gdk-x11-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
configure:16945: checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gdk-x11-2.0
Fix above errors and then restart with "make -f client.mk build"

build 2

Bug 851606 - Disable bug 818340 for Beta until we're ready

mail from Bhavana: missed landing in Firefox 24 Beta prior to go-to-build for beta 1 & this is an important enough issue to cause a re-spin for Desktop and Mobile.

Kicked off without source/windows repacks/osx repacks fixes. We'll have to rebuild those builders when the fixes land + are tagged.

   * 2013-08-07 05:04 PDT Staging still busted ("State of 24.0b1" email)
     * After switching to pymake, we hit the tier_base compilation error.  Removing tier_base from the makeDirs list moved the error down into tier_nspr; didn't fix.
     * This error seemed to show we were losing the msvs10 env specified in the mozconfig
       * This became https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903118 but we found a workaround.
     * We dropped this as a potential fix at this point to try our fix in bug 898099 (switching to w64 builders)

   * 2013-08-08 11:38 PDT We switch to w64 builders
   * This unfortunately fails to fix the problem.  Uncaught in staging because we were testing against 23.0b8
 * 2013-08-08 13:09 PDT pymake and windows l10n release repacks don't get along
   * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903116
