During this time we will be landing two things:

bug 433710)

No downtime is expected.

VMware ESX
June 6th, 2008 by bhearsum
As has been previous documented, we have a *lot* of VMs for Release Engineering purposes. We often need to start, stop, edit, or do other management things to them. For a long time this meant using the Virtual Infrastructure client, which is…quite buggy, and only runs on Windows. Awhile ago I discovered the VMware Web [...]

April 30th, 2008 by bhearsum
Once or twice a month a bug is filed on the try server. I see all of these go by and typically say something like “this would be cool, I don’t have time to do it”. Someone mentioned to me that they were going to blog about a specific try server to try and get [...]
Buildbot + Mozilla
April 29th, 2008 by bhearsum
Over the past year or so Mozilla has increasingly relied on Buildbot for our Building, Releasing, Testing, and l10n processes. For awhile, everyone that touched Buildbot did things their own way. As a result we had a ton of code (and bug) duplication. There is now a heavy push within the Release Engineering group to [...]
