ReleaseEngineering/BuildFaster
Goals
- Get time from build-available to all tests done to <= 30 minutes
- Get per-checkin build time to under 2 hours for all platforms
Current activities
- Set up metrics to quantify our current end-to-end time, and be able to track it
- Do non-PGO opt builds for linux and windows bug 658313
- Investigate if we can do 64-bit only 10.6 builds per-checkin. Need to determine if there are many 10.5 only test failures.
- Determine which suites to be merged with others - bug 659328
- Improve set-up time
- Gather data for devs to tackle test jobs that take long
- Speeding up the build system itself:
- (universal-singlepass) less painful universal builds on mac (build universal as a single pass) - bug 417044
- makefiles: split of config/rules.mk into a hierarchy of makefiles - bug 662833
