Hi coop, Anyone that could work on this? This is to allow running the release Firefox UI updates on the Linux builders. I would not be surprised if a change like this was already deployed for the testers.

To inform coop's answer, this is probably easy: [jwood@releng-puppet2.srv.releng.scl3.mozilla.com yum]$ pwd /data/repos/yum [jwood@releng-puppet2.srv.releng.scl3.mozilla.com yum]$ find . -name "dejavu*" ... ./mirrors/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/Packages/dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts-2.30-2.el6.noarch.rpm ... ./mirrors/centos/6.5/os/i386/Packages/dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts-2.30-2.el6.noarch.rpm ...

That is, if this bug is not also asking for...

Unless Callek has spare cycles and wants to volunteer, I don't have anyone else that can take this on right now.

That's alright. We will move in other fronts while someone becomes available. Thanks coop.

catlee mention that we could try to use mock to deal with this. We could also try to switch to the testers. http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/42521959e9b9/testing/mozharness/mozharness/mozilla/mock.py

By all means, Firefox should not crash if those specific fonts are not installed. Armen is it possible for you to manually get a crash report on one of those machines? I would kinda like to see a crash bug filed under core fonts.

Feel free to request a loaner and grab it. I'm not looking into this anymore.

We can manage this with mock. Let's use that instead of a Puppet package.

We're moving to testers.
