Build

• Working with IT on the Tinderbox support process; we're almost ready to switch over, but the big change will be:
  • Tinderboxen will be on three tiers; the tiers will be posted on the Build:Farm page.
    • Tier 1: 24-hour, on-call support
    • Tier 2: Business hours support
    • Tier 3: All other Tinderboxen
  • Because of this, if there are Tinderbox failures, we need to track them via bugs, as opposed to the myriad of ways we've done it in the past (walking into #build, email, etc.) So, we'll be asking everyone to file bugs for tracking Tinderbox outage issues.
• Clobber support has now been rolled out and is supported, so if you need builds clobbered, please follow the instructions that are posted I will be posting to the wiki.
  • To help, the versions and branches of each configs for each tinderbox build is printed in the tinderbox log.
  • There are a couple of machines that won't be clobbered when clobbers are requested; this is due to a tinderbox deficiency; these machines will be noted on the Build:Farm pages, and we'll be fixing them.
• Coop is continuing to work on getting authentication/IDs setup for individual projects. Seamonkey, Camino, Lightning/Sunbird, Firefox, and Thunderbird build people should expect to hear from him in the next couple of weeks.
• As part of this, we're finally getting project-specific Macs out to the community network; ETA is 21 Feb; see Bug 327092
