Description Eric Seidel (no email) 2010-01-06 22:13:16 PST

Add Windows Release Tests Bot to the list of "core builders" (builders which block the commit-queue when red)

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitpy/buildbot.py#L47

This is a master bug for tracking reliability issues (aka flakey tests) with the Windows Release Test bot which block us from adding it to the list of builders which block the commit-queue and cause "bugzilla-tool land-diff" to error out when people try to land (unless they pass --ignore-builders).

The windows build bots are already in the core builders list, but the test bots have been excluded due to unreliability.  I'd like to change that, but we'll need to fix a bunch of reliability bugs first.  I'll start relating reliability bugs to this one as I find them.

The Windows bots are a lot less flaky these days. I'm going to try to clean up the bugs this one is blocked on so we can close it.

I closed out all the old blocking bugs. I filed bug 55665 to cover making Windows 7 Release (Tests) a core builder. Someday (hopefully soon) we'll make Windows XP Debug (Tests) core, too.
