Possible bugs

• Write a tool to update bugzilla bugs for outstanding machine loans and ask if the loaner is still needed on say, a weekly basis: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1171165
• Long Inter-Job Timing on t-yosemite-r7 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1258480
• Create new script to setup a buildbot master for development: https://bugzil.la/1275135
  • [alin]: Iris & Alison are working on this

From kmoir:

• How are preparations for the mercurial upgrades going for build/test machines? (to support bug 1298976)
  • [alin]: still need to be done for Windows 10 testers
• Other possible bugs:
  • Is there further automation that you can implement to make regular tasks easier i.e. the machine loan email as a template
  • [alin]: as discussed in Hawaii, we’ll start investigating what improvements can be done here
• Other goals
  • Puppet master upgrades: we're on a really old version, and should have a better story for upgrades going forward. We can move a single platform to start(kmoir needs to open bug here and ask arr on current state)
  • Talked to Rok this week re moving releng web properties to releng services. He said that his documentation is ready to use and he is willing to pair program with people as needed. We could move one of this projects (slave health, buildapi, slavealloc) as a start, depending on what you think is most useful. https://docs.mozilla-releng.net/.
• Priorities update. Lawrence had a meeting with his mgmt team in Toronto recently and established the following ordered priorities
  • 1. Data centre move - two different data centres (will ask Amy for plan)
  • 2. OSX on TC (we need to do this so we don’t have to move mac builders into new DC)
  • 3. Quantum
  • 4. Security, Disaster recovery (part of having two data centres now). Securing the autoland pipeline
  • 5. Phase out aurora (Q1 planning)
  • 6. Reduce orange factor
  • 7. Blocking bad commits
  • 8. TC for Linux (almost done) talos needs to be done
  • 9. TC Windows

SV: 2017/02/20 - 2017/02/24

• New buidduty team member: Sebastian Păcurar (:spacurar) \o/
  • Permissions for vpn_releng_group (slave loan purposes)
    • [alin] Sebastian is able to access https://ldapadmin1.private.scl3.mozilla.com/manage
    • [alin]: Per Coop’s mail:

“I believe flipping the admin LDAP bit to be able to add other people to groups is separate to actual group membership. We'll likely need to file a bug for this.”

• • • [alin] working now
  • Access to the gpg encoded files that we also have access to (private repo)
    • [alin] Access granted to several files, would need access to several more (not urgent)
  • Join #mozbuild? ^
    • [alin] done
• Bug 1339179 - Set up pine for activity-stream builds & tests
  • Did not receive feedback from :catlee if talos testing is needed here yet
  • Any clue why I don’t see any task diff/is there other method to test the changes?
• Bug 1315977 - Mac build machines doing l10n repacks need python 2.7.6 or newer
  • Michael Shal helped us by investigating a possible problem
  • We 2 different pythons that are used (mozharness uses /tools/buildbot/bin/python ;

and configure uses /tools/python/bin/python2.7)

• • It seems that after upgrade the python from /tools/buildbot/bin still have strings from python 2.7.3 even if the version is seen us python 2.7.12 while /tools/python/bin/python is different (this is more like a bug in virtualenv.py)
  • Now I did some tests on bld-lion-r5-065
    • after re-image ,I deleted /tools/buildbot and upgrade to python 2.7.12
    • Seems like after this /tools/buildbot was recreated and python from both locations (/tools/buildbot and /tools/python) were the same and did not have any python 2.7.3 strings
    • Bld-lion-r5-065 is now enabled and since yesterday morning there are no fails but I must wait until job OS X 10.7 64-bit mozilla-aurora leak test build will run
• Bug 1332337 - migrate machine health dashboard to releng services
  • Had a meeting with Rok and now is more clear what need to be done
  • Now I’m working on creting the structure for api.py and api.yml based on the .json files that were used until now.
• Bug 1339185 - Disable non-e10s tests for OSX debug only
  • non-e10s tests, except xpcshell test, are disabled for OSX on trunk branches
  • The First patch landed was also disabling some e10s tests so the code had to be refactored.
  • The second patch removes all non e10s, while e10s and xpcshell tests are in their places
