Closing out this thread - we made Linux 64 Debug builds Tier 1 mid-April, and last week we turned off the related buildbot jobs.
All Linux 64 Debug builds and tests now happen exclusively in TaskCluster! Thank you all the teams and individuals that contributed to getting this done! We NI'd quite a few people throughout Platform on test and build system errors, and we appreciated all of the attention and help. *Project update:* We're now working steadily toward getting all remaining Linux builds and tests into TaskCluster and to Tier 2, and Windows builds to Tier 2 in TaskCluster by the end of the quarter. We're also alpha testing OS X tests on data center hardware using TC workers. We've also started supporting a few smaller projects, in addition to a few groups that have migrated their builds and tests to TaskCluster. Those projects are still at an experimental level of support, but we're open to discussing support with any teams interested in building with us. We're primarily able to support pushes to try and Github users "out of the box." We've got a dashboard to track progress under development that we'll share with everyone at London. Meanwhile, the project team meets weekly on Thursdays and keeps an updated Trello board here: https://trello.com/b/asIJ2pGC/taskcluster-migration Questions? Please get in touch! irc:selenamarie or email or schedule a meeting. -selena On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 3:05 PM Selena Deckelmann <sel...@mozilla.com> wrote: > The two outstanding bugs are closed! > > We have one bug remaining that we are tracking related to metrics.
