Release Engineering is migrating the Windows 64-bit _build_ machines to a new, managed machine image which will decrease the amount of administrative overhead needed to deploy new instances, make image changes, etc.
It uses the same build toolchain as the current Windows 64-bit images (MSVC10) but located at different paths so you'll notice conditional checks like http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/a141e39bf6da/build/win64/mozconfig.vs2010#l2 which will be uplifted. The 'cedar' project branch has been building successfully using the new image. The plan is to migrate other branches over the next few weeks in this order: - remaining project branches - mozilla-central - mozilla-inbound, b2g-inbound - try - aurora - beta - release, mozilla-b2g18* - esr Wait times may increase for a short time on days that we cut over to the new build machines (since we are reimaging existing machines in chunks). We'll be keeping an eye on those wait times and adjusting the number of machines cut over if needed. Thunderbird comm-* branches will be cut over at the same time as their mozilla-* counterpart. The project branches will be cut over tomorrow and we'll let those build over the weekend before cutting over mozilla-central. I will send an email notification on this thread before and after a cutover so everyone knows the current status. Bug 781277 tracks this effort. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
