Status reports

Rel Eng

• Kmoir is continuing to work on turning on Panda Debug tests that are green, she is hitting some delay issues (bug 982799
• Ant on builders now installable via an unreviewed m-c patch
  • However fails due to JAVA_HOME being set incorrectly
    • Set to the place we used to (years ago) install java, we currently install into system folders.
  • Patch will certainly need to be adjusted, but I'm testing with manual work if outright removing the invalid JAVA_HOME env var will work.
  • Hoping to have this resolved soon
• Beginning to plan out date/time for first rack of pandas and related systems to move from scl1 -> scl3. This will be primarily to ensure that the full-move can go on without problems.

IT

Move dates have not been set but we do have a hard deadline of July 31 to be out of SCL1

IT is beginning to plan the SCL1 move out including panda infrastructure (eg Foopies, Mozpool and pandas)

Autophone

• Continuing to work on bug 969518 to get usb networking up.
  • tl;dr
    • Took Autophone down 2014-03-13 to configure devices for usbnet.
    • Brought back up with Nexus Ones running CyanogenMod 7.2 on 2014-03-18. Backfilling mozilla-central to 2014-03-13 and mozilla-inbound to 2014-03-18.
    • Other devices currently offline. Working to bring them back up asap.
  • I could not get usbnet to work with the shell running as root on anything but Nexus ones. I think the better approach would be to run Android builds where I can run adbd as root instead of hacking on sh.
    • Attempted to use userdebug builds.
      • Could not build Nexus One Passion or Nexus S crespo userdebug builds due to gcc 4.8, 4.6 incompatibilities. Could not build older gcc on my workstation. If anyone has a userdebug builds for Nexus One or Nexus S or has a machine with gcc 4.4 or earlier where they can build Android userdebug builds, I would appreciate it.
      • I am having problems with segfaults with SUTAgent and fennec installations with userdebug Android builds on Nexus 4, 5 and 7. May be an issue with su and recent versions of Android (4.2+).
    • Attempted to use CyanogenMod.
      • Placed CyanogenMod 7.2 on all Nexus One devices. This appear to work well with ppp/adb.
      • Attempted to use CyanogenMod on the Nexus S devices but ppp/adb does not work due to "Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument" errors. Attempted all stable versions of CyanogenMod for Nexus S but could not get it to work. Not sure if this is device specific since Nexus One does work. Haven't tried on Nexus 4 or later.
    • Investigating rooting via repacking boot.img.
      • It looked as if B2G has some tools that may help in unpacking/repacking boot.img but I'm having problems there. If I can't get the required tools from B2G, I will clone Android's system/core/mkbootimg/bootimg.c to create a tool that will unpack a boot.img.
