I’m sure they were here a minute ago…

The testfarm buildbots have been moved to the main Firefox tree on Tinderbox and given spiffy new names. They are now known as “Linux qm-rhel02 dep unit test”, “MacOSX Darwin 8.8.4 qm-xserve01 dep unit test” and “WINNT 5.1 qm-winxp01 dep unit test”. Sure rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

We haven’t really nailed-down what it means to have these here yet, and as of this writing, the logging summaries aren’t being printed out so the information’s only semi-useful at-a-glance. We’ll get that fixed quickly though. Ultimately, I think failures on these boxes should be taken seriously and if you check in and see them turn orange, you should take a close look at the logs to see what happened.

Also, if you see any problems with these machines, please file a bug on it in core/testing. I’ll be watching that bucket with great vigilance.
