Possible bugs

• Write a tool to update bugzilla bugs for outstanding machine loans and ask if the loaner is still needed on say, a weekly basis: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1171165
• Long Inter-Job Timing on t-yosemite-r7 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1258480
• Create new script to setup a buildbot master for development: https://bugzil.la/1275135
  • [alin]: Iris & Alison are working on this

From coop:

• https://bugzil.la/1253312 - TC Linux 32 debug builds Tier-1

From kmoir:

• How are preparations for the mercurial upgrades going for build/test machines? (to support bug 1298976)
  • [alin]: still need to be done for Windows 10 testers
• Other possible bugs:
  • Schedule win10vm test jobs on try https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304065 - what’s the status here?
    • No longer needed since we aren’t going to support w10 buildbot
  • Create alerts for t-w732 and g-w732 pending https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304158
• Is there further automation that you can implement to make regular tasks easier i.e. the machine loan email as a template
  • [alin]: as discussed in Hawaii, we’ll start investigating what improvements can be done here
• Other goals
  • Puppet master upgrades: we're on a really old version, and should have a better story for upgrades going forward. We can move a single platform to start(kmoir needs to open bug here and ask arr on current state)
  • Talked to Rok this week re moving releng web properties to releng services. He said that his documentation is ready to use and he is willing to pair program with people as needed. We could move one of this projects (slave health, buildapi, slavealloc) as a start, depending on what you think is most useful. https://docs.mozilla-releng.net/.
• Priorities update. Lawrence had a meeting with his mgmt team in Toronto recently and established the following ordered priorities
  • 1. Data centre move - two different data centres (will ask Amy for plan)
  • 2. OSX on TC (we need to do this so we don’t have to move mac builders into new DC)
  • 3. Quantum
  • 4. Security, Disaster recovery (part of having two data centres now). Securing the autoland pipeline
  • 5. Phase out aurora (Q1 planning)
  • 6. Reduce orange factor
  • 7. Blocking bad commits
  • 8. TC for Linux (almost done) talos needs to be done
  • 9. TC Windows

SV: 2017/01/23 - 2017/01/27

• New buidduty team member: Sebastian Păcurar (:spacurar) \o/
  • Mozilla account (?)
  • Like in our case, he’ll need access to several places:
    • AWS console
    • Releng LDAP group
    • Inventory
    • Permissions for vpn_releng_group (slave loan purposes)
    • Account on winadmin host (?)
• Bug 1315977 - Mac build machines doing l10n repacks need python 2.7.6 or newer
  • Found that by installing python multiple times,we can get some problems with the virtual enviornment
  • Check https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315977#c29 ,we have symlink python2.7 which is pointed to python and python ->python2.7
• Bug 1332736 - Turn off Talos on graphics branch
  • Bug 1326471 - Ash runs talos-g4 despite being 'enable_talos': False
  • 2 tests g4 and g4-e10s are not removed: https://dxr.mozilla.org/build-central/source/buildbot-configs/mozilla-tests/config.py#2656-2659
  • Seems all these tests are scheduled by Taskcluster and ran in buildbot (bridge),we want to know which configs are used in this situation (taskcluster or buildbot)?
• Bug 1330999 - Turn off all Win10 support in Buildbot
  • https://github.com/mozilla-releng/build-cloud-tools/pull/278 needs to be merged
