Build Changes (gps)
(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)
Upcoming Outages/Upgrades
(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)
- Tree closing window this Saturday 0900 - 1500 PST. bug 951731
- During this time the tegras will be moved from the Mountain View office into a data center, and will be unavailable until Monday 0900 at the latest. bug 914480
- Panda testing will be online when TCW ends. (Test servers they use are part of the move.)
- Tegras will remain offline (and android jobs cancelled) longer, possibly through the weekend. Our goal is no more than 48 hours offline, with a stretch goal of back online before 1600PT Sunday (just as Taipei starts).
