We keep trying to build them every night, but they fail because the mozconfig was never really ported to 64-bit land correctly.

Comment on attachment 513137 [details] [diff] [review] Make shark nightly builds work again. We need MOZ_PKG_SPECIAL so the package names generated don't conflict with the regular builds.

Thanks! Fixed the comment to reflect that and pushed http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/3fe68a4ae4e8

Boris, have you had a successful build with this mozconfig ? I'm expecting the x86_64 part will barf trying link to a 32bit CHUD. See also bug 600434.

bug 625962 fixed this build config.

Nick, I've been building with --enable-shark locally, yes. We no longer link to CHUD.

Nice. The compile step after the mozconfigs succeeded, but then we failed in make buildsymbols: make buildsymbols in dir /builds/slave/cen-osx64-shark/build/obj-firefox (timeout 3600 secs) make: *** No rule to make target `buildsymbols'. Stop. Probably just need to fix buildbotcustom to run that in the right place now that shark is a universal build.

Nick, can you do that part? I'm not sure what's involved in it...

This should do the trick based on the output of builder_list.py, but I need to run it through staging. Notes * shark on 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 are i386 only, everything else becomes universal with bz's mozconfig change. Which is the first hunk, since shark isn't a first class platform, more of a hack-it-up-form. * the factory.py hunk corrects what is a logical inconsistency, IMO. We don't want symbols contingent on uploading a dmg, we want it on using that dmg for tests/talos. It only disables buildsymbols for for shark builds, which are --disable-install-strip anyway, so this saves us some CPU time and disk space on ftp (150MB/day). We actually have to shuffle symlinks and update other mozconfigs so that my statement about branches is true.

This makes the mozilla-2.0 and generic branches use the same mozconfig as m-c. All other modern branches symlink to m-c, while 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 use macosx/mozill-central/shark/mozconfig via symlink. (In reply to comment #10) > We actually have to shuffle symlinks and update other mozconfigs so that my > statement about branches is true. This is actually wrong, I was looking at the macosx/ dir instead of macosx64/. There's a lot of unneeded crud in macosx/ that can get the chop at some point.

Comment on attachment 513258 [details] [diff] [review] [buildbotcustom] Tweak shark builds Works in staging. 1.9.1/1.9.2/m-c shark builds all run green, no symbols uploaded. My builder master has other consumers of MercurialBuildFactory (Try, releases) and I see no change in those factories in builder_list.py, so I don't think the second hunk can regress those.

Comment on attachment 513258 [details] [diff] [review] [buildbotcustom] Tweak shark builds Do we still need shark on older branches?

(In reply to comment #14) > Do we still need shark on older branches? Seems unlikely we're profiling performance on a stable branches but might still need it to diagnose problems as patches land. I've asked justdave for a grep over the ftp.m.o logs to see how many downloads are occurring.

This got pushed live earlier today. Please reopen if tonight's nightlies are still broken.

The good news is that we now have shark nightlies. The bad news is that something is broken in the build system. In particular, they're being compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer even though --enable-shark is specified.

I filed bug 636495.

(In reply to comment #17) > http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/rev/41d7ae2e5b31 I lost the hunk in process.py that disables buildsymbols, so we spend an extra 20 minutes creating the symbols file. Fixed on default with http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/rev/13acb15b4930
