== Refreshing the ref machines before asking IT to refresh their image  ==
== Tracking ref images being refreshed ==
Every time we do a relevant change to [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/log/tip/buildbot-helpers/buildbot-tac.py buildbot-tac.py] we have to update the '''build-tools''' repo on the ref images (through puppet on linux/darwin builders and manually on all others) and then ask IT to refresh the images (either builders or testers).


When we update buildbot-tac.py ([http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/log/4b41e311f539/buildbot-helpers/buildbot-tac.py this view] shows you last time we have done a change) on the tools repo we have to generate a new build-tools RPM for Linux and Darwin slaves and download the tools zip unto the Windows ref machines. '''TODO add link to steps to do this'''
NOTE: Do not ask to refresh the linux/windows ref VMs.


Once we know that the ref machines (from the previous section) are up-to-date we need to ask IT to refresh their images.  
Please keep track of when we ask IT to refresh the images.
* refresh requested for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600971#c0 talos-ref-leopard-ref] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601151#c0 talos-ref-snow-ref] to [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/bb8b3a7c86ac buildbot-tac.py's] latest revision (bb8b3a7c86ac).


If the change only affects builders tell IT to refresh the image of the builders (discard refreshing the VMs listed as desupported on previous section) and if the change affects testers only choose from the testing ref machines.  
NOTE: Filed {{bug|601172}} to not require asking IT to refresh the images for buildbot-tac.py changes
