Tree Management

• Windows 64-bit
  • optimized and debug nightly builds announced on Friday
  • from the mailing list the press picked it up and started the 64-bit wave
  • developers if you land a fix for Windows 64-bit you can ask a releng to trigger a build for you since we are only building once a day (instead of twice a day as armenzg mentioned on his post)
  • big picture: Win64 wiki page and blog post.
  • major known issues:
    • bug 569268 - Users need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) to start application (MSVCR100.dll). download
    • bug 536715 - No Flash for 64 bit Windows builds
    • bug 548035 - Breakpad symbol dumping for Windows x64
    • bug 521193 - jemalloc support
  • question from armenzg: "Am I providing for now what devs need to do win64 work?"
    • I have to continue installing tools on the machine so we can clone more slaves of it and upstream this to production standards.
  • Talos work might be started in before end of June
  • I will try to have unit tests running every night as well

• Unit tests for Linux
  • We did not disable unit tests on CentOS for mozilla-central since for mozilla-central releases we have not yet changed it to run unit tests on Fedora bug 568655 and we should not have dis-paired unit test coverage.
  • We enabled Fedora unit tests for tracemonkey and 1.9.2 but the pending jobs took off and we had to back out (bug 568655). The load was fine but the connections with the master and the slaves were the problem. bug 560957 has landed and should fix partially the problem. We are going to wait for some more of the improvements that catlee is doing on the talos buildbot world before trying to enable this.
