Bug 140576 – [Win] Move EWS Processing off of Cygwin

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Brent Fulgham]

Based on my observations over the past few weeks, it appears that the most frequent cause of Windows EWS failures are due to Cygwin rebasing issues.

These errors look like the following:

Failed to run "['/home/buildbot/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch', '--status-host=webkit-queues.appspot.com', '--bot-id=ews204', 'clean', '--port=win']" exit_code: 1 cwd: /home/buildbot/WebKit

It seems like moving away from running Windows EWS on top of Cygwin would provide a significant boost in reliability.

It might also be possible to somehow work the Cygwin 'rebaseall' script into our cycle.

AppleWin was removed. WinCairo EWS isn't using Cygwin.
