What to do in case if you need to close the trees
  • Warn #developers IRC channel and the #sheriffs.
  • Use https://mozilla-releng.net/treestatus to close the trees.
    • Please use the "Remember previous state" option, so you can easily restore the previous status messages when you are finished (there will be a restore button at the bottom of the page).
    • In order to change tree statuses, your browserID email needs to be added with sheriff permissions (ping edmorley/philor/catlee or ask in #developers).
    • Set the topic in #ci with the following model: OnDuty: --- ldap --- ALL/ (Name of the trees) CURRENTLY CLOSED --- BUG: bug number --- Unified #releng / #buildduty channels. CI issues? You’ve come to the right place. | This channel is logged at https://mozilla.logbot.info/ci
  • Reload TreeStatus to confirm the status has changed.
