Sometimes, clearer information can be obtained by looking at the [http://build.mozillamessaging.com/buildbot/production/waterfall buildbot waterfall page]. | |||

Obviously, clobber builds take longer than depend builds, so '''please only use this functionality when necessary;''' also, '''please coordinate clobbering on IRC, so builds aren't clobbered multiple times for the same reason'''. | |||
If you're a regular committer and have hg access, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?&bug_severity=normal&component=Release%20Engineering&form_name=enter_bug&op_sys=All&product=Mozilla%20Messaging&rep_platform=All&short_desc=Clobberer%20access%20for%20xxxxxx file a bug] to get access. | If you're a regular committer and have hg access, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?&bug_severity=normal&component=Release%20Engineering&form_name=enter_bug&op_sys=All&product=Mozilla%20Messaging&rep_platform=All&short_desc=Clobberer%20access%20for%20xxxxxx file a bug] to get access. | ||
==== Forcing a new build ==== | |||
This can be done by talking to the various thunder* bots on [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#maildev #maildev]. | |||
Please only do if absolutely necessary as this will mean the builders will take longer to get to new patches. | |||
==== That box is broken ==== | |||
Sometimes we get: | |||
* Access denied to remove files | |||
** Typically caused by a hung process | |||
* Connection Lost | |||
** Sometimes buildbot looses connections, due to heavy load or network issues, these typically clear the next cycle. | |||
Quite often these are localized to one virtual machine and can therefore appear as intermittent failures on tinderbox, when its actually a permanent failure on that virtual machine, the [http://build.mozillamessaging.com/buildbot/production/buildslaves buildslaves] view can help diagnose these. | |||
If you think a builder needs a poke, talk to gozer or Standard8 on [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#maildev #maildev]. Standard8 only has access to some VMs. | |||
If they aren't around, then [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?&bug_severity=normal&component=Server%20Operations&form_name=enter_bug&op_sys=All&product=Mozilla%20Messaging&rep_platform=All&short_desc=Clobberer%20access%20for%20xxxxxx file a bug]. | |||
