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:
  • 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: 2017/02/13 - 2017/02/17

• New buidduty team member: Sebastian Păcurar (:spacurar) \o/
  • Permissions for vpn_releng_group (slave loan purposes)
    • [alin] Sebastian is able to access https://ldapadmin1.private.scl3.mozilla.com/manage
    • [alin]: Per Coop’s mail:

“I believe flipping the admin LDAP bit to be able to add other people to groups is separate to actual group membership. We'll likely need to file a bug for this.”

• • Access to the gpg encoded files that we also have access to (private repo)
  • Join #mozbuild? ^
• Bug 1339185 - Disable non-e10s tests for OSX debug only
  • Gathered some data on how many chunks we run for these tests and the average time needed for each of them
• Bug 1334917 - Stop double-running PGO on aurora and below, where the normal build is PGO without asking for PGO
• Bug 1315977 - Mac build machines doing l10n repacks need python 2.7.6 or newer
  • Must check with Michael Shal what can we do here,seems to be more like a virtualenv.py bug ,we have a virtuaenv created with python2.7.3 and we want to create another one with the new version but some files are overwritten
• Bug 1339576 - Remove references to allowed_branches in puppet
  • References are removed from both puppet and relabs-puppet repositories
• Bug 1336553 - Bump OS X and Windows J chunks from 1 to 2
  • J tests are chunked for Windows platforms as well
