Roundtable

My (jhammel) priorities are to get bug 738478 unblocked so I can work on jetperf (first bug 729205)

Issues:

• What to do about PerfConfigurator options?
  • --perfconfigurator_options -a,ts,-e,`which firefox`,--result_url,file://...
    • would make jetperf.py difficult, e.g. results_url
  • use the options we have, make the help e.g. "--activeTests option for PerfConfigurator"
    • not very helpful
  • other ideas?

I really want configuration that makes it easy for me (and presumedly everyone else) to run.

• Firefox fetching:
  • aki is taking bug 720436, looks like: https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/Mozharness/28-Mar-2012#In_Progress
  • should we block on this?

• Dependencies: what should we do in the immediate term?
  • "pypi" on p.m.o/~jhammel/pypi ?
  • list verbosely? (e.g. using a tool to gather them?)

• Error checking
  • I'm making it a priority to make our error checking better in Talos
  • can we land bug 738478 without listing error messages?
    • follow-up bug
    • otherwise, this might take some time while I figure out what to do here
