Build:TryServer:Suggestions
Try Server Suggestions and Feature Requests
- upload script: allow multiple patches
- upload script: use reference to bugzilla attachments instead of uploading a patch
- Direct integration into bugzilla? "Click here to test patch"?
- upload script: allow users to reference 1..N bug numbers as part of the build description
- upload script: allow users to check an "email me when this build is ready" box
- try script: email users who checked the "email me when this build is ready" box
- upload script: ability to see default .mozconfig
- allow patches compressed with bzip2 or gzip
- copy build logs (and maybe input patches) to output download directory
- give developers an option to make the try-server "rebase and push to mozilla-central" if the patch is green on try-server
- or starred as "effectively green"
- Display the last green hg id somewhere (this is bug 570859).
- Ability to just build installer/zip/dmg/tar without uploading symbols, running tests, etc.
- Compare talos numbers relative to mozilla-central numbers in proximity hg DAG-wise, see http://blog.mozilla.com/axel/2010/06/07/trying-talos-on-node-js/ for a proof of concept.
- Being able to actually get results in sane amounts of time. It's now been over 24 hours since I pushed a patch, and I have yet to see a single mac test result, Linux debug test result, 32-bit Linux optimized test result, anything at all on Win7. The Win2k3 optimized build died with an infrastructure error... In other words, a bunch of machine time was wasted, and I still can't get the data I wanted.
