The Aurora tree was closed yesterday by Ed because of the perma-orange
failure filed in bug 823989, which went unnoticed for quite some time
before Ed closed the tree. This morning, I tried to reproduce the bug
locally using the information posted on there and I saw that it was easily
reproducible, so I spent some time to debug it and figure out what's
happening, and landed a work-around.
Then I noticed that there seems to be a bunch of other perma-oranges as
well (leaks on Mac and Linux mochitest-bc caused by devtools tests and test
failures on mochitest-bc). I did work on bug 823989 in the hopes that I
can reopen the tree, and I'm quite disappointed that these failures have
been ignored on Aurora for such a long time. As such, I'm keeping the
Aurora tree closed. I think keeping the trees green is a responsibility
shared by everybody, and I would appreciate if some heros would step up and
work on fixing the rest of the perma-oranges.
Until that happens, there is no ETA on when Aurora will be reopened.
Needless to say, this is a risk for Firefox 20, so I urge everybody to
please help fix the test failures.
Cheers,
