Losing My Memory [leak test server]
For those of you watching balsa, our memory leak tinderbox, just a quick heads up that we’ll soon be migrating to the virtualized balsa[s] very soonishly.
The new virtual memory leak tinderboxen names are balsa-trunk which, coincidentally enough, does trunkish builds, and balsa-18branch which does—you guessed it—Firefox 1.8 branch builds.
bz and I looked at the numbers for both the physical and virtual tinderboxen and they looked comparable/cogent/good. Because these are leak memory tests, the virtaulized versions of these tinderboxen don’t seem to be affected by virtualization, which we expected.
If you’d like to take a gander at these new tinderboxen, check out the 1.8 branch page and the trunk tinderbox page.
(They’re also publishing to the Seamonkey-Ports page, but for some reason, both physical- and virtual-balsa are in various states of unhappiness… which, on the one hand, is good news in terms of validating that the VMs are coherent images of the physical machines, but bad in that… they’re both broken.)
Because physical-balsa is literally sitting on the colo floor and the ever-gallant IT peeps are tripping over the machine, we’ll probably shut it down within the next few days. If there’s a reason why we shouldn’t, please let us know.
