buildbot sendchange --username=coop --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.1 -m "Firefox 3.5.12 build1" Go

Tag

Source / XULRunner source

No problems

Build/Repack

Linux: No problems Mac: No problems Win32: 7 locales failed (cy, en-GB, eo, ku, ta, te, uk) with an hg error:

TypeError: a2b_hex() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not None

All the failures happened on one slave (win32-slave45), so I shutdown that slave and then used the force_release_l10n.py tool to re-trigger those locales:

./force_release_l10n.py -m http://production-master02.build.mozilla.org:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_5_12_RELEASE -v -s my-locales -n coop

my-locales contained the following:

cy win32
en-GB win32
eo win32
ku win32
ta win32
te win32
uk win32

Note: win32-slave45 kept resurrecting itself and taking new builds. I had to rename the buildbot.tac file to get it to stop, and then force eo and ta again. Filed bug 590384 on the issue.
