Once the builds start working (I almost have them) they will show up in:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

I will do a blog post and reply to the thread once I have them.

Cheers,

thx 4 the info. Right, that there is still no (pre)release of the
flash-plugin 4 64bit on windows?

Depends, what are we doing these builds for? If we're doing them for
releasing them, it'll be all locales, of course. Otherwise, I don't know.

Not that I know of.
For now only Linux

Note that we do not have a pool of slaves yet. We could enable one or
two l10n repacks as a test, but not the full set until we ramp up the pool.

I don't think that there's a benefit in one or two locales. I'm fine
with the l10n repacks being blocked by building the necessary pool, as
long as the builds are there in time for testing before shipping. Not
sure what that means, though :-)

Note that technically I don't think you have to have a win64 slave to repack
win64 builds: you could probably do it on a win32 slave. But it's probably
not worth worrying about until the builds actually work.

Axel, thats the right priority.


To set context here, remember that this post is about setting up one
potential slave so that RelEng and developers figure out what toolchain
is needed in the reference image, what mozconfig settings to use and any
blocker code issues that need to be resolved.

Once we get *a* build that will actually run, then we've still got many
steps ahead of us, including setting up pool-o-slaves and doing l10n
repacks, before we get close to releasing win7x64 builds.

For now, lets keep this thread on the topic where we need the most help
- finding people with win64 expertise to help figure out how to get one
enUS build that actually will run.

tc
John.

Armen, could you remove --disable-ogg from mozconfig? Since liboggplay
has been removed, this option is unnecessary.

I will do.

I will be updating them in here:
