Release Engineering
- tegras
- tl;dr: still 0 in production
- bear pulled an all-nighter to get staging reliably green. we then spent the rest of the day checking this in, rolling it out, and finally switching some tegras to run in production.
- at this point we noticed/remembered that bear’s testing staging environment was running against thursday’s nightly, with old devicemanager code.
- assuming we don’t regress anything further, we’ve solved 1 of 2 blockers to going live. we’ll be working on incorporating the devicemanager changes and testing against the new shared id today.
QA
- New Bugs over the week: filed
- Results from nightly Smoketest runs
Top 5 crashes:
1)libz.so@0x14b4 – 299 crashes
Related bug: Bug 626051
It is #1 top crasher in Fennec 4.0b4pre for the last week.
There was a big spike for this crash in the last 3 days(81 crashes to be exact). Steve Kondik commented that this is mostly on CM7(Gingerbread version). CM isnt released yet and hence they re still testing their nightly. Hopefully this should be fixed in final release.
2)js::mjit::JaegerShot – 20 crashes
Related bug: Bug 615993
It is #2 top crasher in Fennec 4.0b4pre for the last week.
This is an armv6 crash. We dont really care about that. But happens on motorola droid 2 devices as well.
Stuart and Kevin report that they saw it while surfing wiki.mozilla.org. Talked to kevin but cannot reproduce it.
