Each week there is one person from the Release Engineering team dedicated to helping out developers with releng-related issues. This person will be available during his or her regular work hours for the whole week. This is similar to the sheriff role that rotates through the developer community. To avoid confusion, the releng sheriff position is informally known as "buildduty." When nobody is on buildduty (off hours and weekends), consult #build with any issues - in most cases someone is available.

Duties

Buildduty will:

  • Manually kick off runs for try talos builds - file a ticket for this purpose, please
  • Keep build slaves humming along nicely
  • Monitor #developers irc channel for issues.
  • Monitor wait times emails and respond to any unusually long wait times
  • Schedule and lead downtimes (if needed) and coordinate with the developers as needed
  • Keep ReleaseEngineering:Maintenance up to date
