Bug 96713 – Add MIPS build slave to build.webkit.org

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Gergely Kis]

The attached patch adds a build slave for MIPS, and enables a builder for Qt WebKit MIPS32R2 little-endian release build. The builder uses Qt 5.

Who should I send the password for the MIPS slave?

This is a really long name. Can we simply call it "Qt Linux MIPS Release" instead?

The reason for the name is that we plan to add different configurations:
- MIPS32R1 little-endian and possibly big-endian (R1 is used by e.g. Broadcom chipsets)
- MIPS32R2 litte-endian and big-endian
- we might want to support MIPS64 as well down the road

If you want, we could make the name shorter by using LE and BE instead of little-endian and big-endian. Would this solution be acceptable for you?

I think "Qt Linux MIPS32R2 LE Release" would be a good choice.

Of course, you can add detailed information to your slave info file, 
see this example http://build.webkit.org/buildslaves/szeged-linux-1.
(admin and host file in the info directory, close to the tac file on the slave)

Lucas or Bill can generate you a random password. (I cc-ed them.)

Uploaded the modified patch.

Yes, that is already done, thank you.

[Gergely Kis]

Do you still need anything from us to enable the MIPS buildbot?

For example solving bug 96916 would benefit from having a working MIPS buildbot.

Thank you,
Gergely

r=me. 

Bill or Lucas, could you generate a password for the new mips-1 user,
send it to Gergely, and restart the master of course, please?

[Lucas Forschler]

password sent via email.

[Lucas Forschler]

password has been updated.  We need to land this before the bot can start.

r=me, but cq- now, it should be landed in IDLE time not to break too many slave's work.

It seems master's automatic restart still doesn't work.
Bill or Lucas, could you restart it in an IDLE time, please?
