Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

• Tree Closing Window on Saturday, November 15. bug 1087431 is the tracker.
  • The November 8 window reported last week was postponed to avoid conflicts with decade builds. Final notice is given to the dev groups when everything is "go".
  • An unusually long window -- approx 11-1/2 hours.
  • Most of the work is network related, with interruptions in traffic from time to time.
  • We'll leave trees "open", but developers should expect longer than normal build times and potential need to restart some jobs.

MemShrink (njn)

No update.
