I am noticing a lot of N900s failing their testing runs because of CVS being killed midstream or failing to start. I have imported talos using the mercurial convert extension by doing: 1. enable convert extension by adding this to ~/.hgrc [extensions] hgext.convert= 2. created a mapping file for usernames (this is not an exhaustive list) cat > authors << EOF anodelman%mozilla.com=Alice Nodelman <alice@mozilla.com> catlee%mozilla.com=Chris AtLee <catlee@mozilla.com> lsblakk%mozilla.com=Lukas Blakk <lblakk@mozilla.com> asasaki%mozilla.com=Aki Sasaki <asasaki@mozilla.com> EOF 3. check out talos and pageloader cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@63.245.209.14:/cvsroot co -d talos mozilla/testing/performance/talos cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@63.245.209.14:/cvsroot co -d pageloader mozilla/layout/tools/pageloader 4. convert CVS -> HG hg convert --authors=authors talos hg convert --authors=authors pageloader 5. push to my user repository hg push ssh://hg.mozilla.org/users/jford_mozilla.com/talos hg push ssh://hg.mozilla.org/users/jford_mozilla.com/pageloader 6. Copy+modify generate-tpcomponent to work with this format I have merged the pageloader and talos to form one repository at http://hg.mozilla.org/users/jford_mozilla.com/talos-tp-merged to do this I cloned my talos repository, cloned my pageloader into the talos dir, rm -rf .hg .hgtags in pageloader dir. I copied the generate-tpcomponent.py script into the talos directory and modified it to work without needing a seperate checkout of pageloader I don't know if we care about history. If we don't, instead of doing the hg convert we could do cd talos find -name CVS -exec rm -rf {} \; hg addremove

This is mostly dependent upon having hg installed on all talos slaves.

We probably need Aravind (or somebody) to port the CVS commit hook to an hg hook. But, yes please :)

(In reply to comment #1) > This is mostly dependent upon having hg installed on all talos slaves. aiui, installing hg on all the new rev3 talos slaves has been done as part of bug#548768.

From reading comment#0, it seems like this bug is about taking existing talos and pageloader code checked into cvs, and moving it to hg. Tweaking summary to match. Moving this bug to Testing:General. Once this is fixed, please file a separate bug in mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering for us to change our automation to pull from hg instead of cvs.

Moving to Talos component.

Just need a zip of the talos code on the build server. This gets us away from a dependency of having hg installed on all talos slaves.

Pageloader already in hg repo, updating summary to indicate as such.

Initial push to http://hg.mozilla.org/build/talos/ complete. I did convert history and updated all the user names. Looks okay to me.

Staging overnight to ensure that everything works correctly.

I'm seeing jobs pulling Talos from the .zip now. All done here?
