Sheriffing & Trees

• [edmorley] Infra/tree closure issues coordinated:
  • Nightlies busted during uploadsymbols (bug 759084).
  • FTP log access problems from bug 732025 landing.
  • Timeout during 'uploading for signing' on OS X 10.7 builds (bug 760566).
• [edmorley] Reducing infra load caused by profiling branch (it doubles m-c load):
  • Landed patch to disable talos (bug 759080).
  • Filed bugs to disable unused Android Debug builds (bug 759073) & stop building pushes that are DONTBUILD (bug 758965).
• [edmorley] Requested list of active mercurial hooks for 60 hg.m.o repos (bug 758994), so trees with closure hook could be added to treestatus.m.o & missing hooks identified (over half of the trees are missing at least one hook). Got missing single_head_per_branch hook added to 20 repos (bug 759450). Shyam Mani & Ben Kero of developer services have been extremely helpful/responsive A+++++ would file again :-)

treestatus.mozilla.org

• [edmorley] Notifying/adding active sheriffs to treestatus.mozilla.org (bug 758886).
• [edmorley] Added site footer links to the source on Github.
• [edmorley] 'Restore previous state' feature not working.

• [edmorley] Un-hid non-existent builders to make manual syncing of the hidden list easier & to reduce size of getHiddenBuilders.php response on every page load. Manually synced hidden builders lists across tbpl.m.o, tbpl-dev & my local TBPL testing instance, for more reliable comparison of prod with dev.
• [edmorley] Filed bugs for more TBPL papercuts/cleanup (bug 758953, bug 758957, bug 759319).

Notes

Update this page with hosts

• https://intranet.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Systems/Inventory/Hosts
• Monday Meeting
  • Highlights should mention what affected goals
  • The goals should be mentioned at the top of the page
  • And the emcee will go through them
  • Makes the emcee will go through the goals, not the entire status
• The talk last week
  • Guy mentioned status was next to useless
  • The weekly meeting should be more of a strategy session
  • Are we too big to make this a strategy meeting?
    • Important thing is that people in the meeting be affected by the topics in the group
    • There are different levels of strategy too. And so we can attack it that.
• Would it be worth having one group periodically go deep?
  • It would be interesting to hear what they had to say because then it would be interesting to hear about what they are doing and give you a means to follow along with their status.
  • Sort of like what they do in the main status meeting - people to a quick presentation/discussion in the meeting.
  • It should be no obligation to prepare anything, just expand on what you're working on.
  • We can rotate this among the teams working on things.
• Next week
  • Jgriffin will be EMcee
  • If a team wants to discuss their work, let him know.

Holidays and Trips

• Clint is out from June 8 to June 17 - back on the 18th. See Jgriffin, Mcote, Jmaher, or Bmoss if you need something urgent while I'm out. I will be reachable by cell. Feel free to call.

Next week MC
