This week I’m going to try something new and try to report on in progress bugs in addition to completed ones. I finally got around to scripting this, too (at Catlee’s urging), and thus the categories have changed to match the Release Engineering Bugzilla components exactly. The code that generates this is available in a github repository for the curious:

In progress work (unresolved and not assigned to nobody):

• Buildduty
• Re-purpose mw32-ix-slave##, linux-ix-slave##, linux64-ix-slave##, bld-linux64-ix-05[1-3], mw32-ix-ref and linux-ix-ref as b-2008-ix-#### (rev2) machines
• General Automation
• mozilla-central should contain a pointer to the revision of all external B2G repos, not just gaia
• Schedule mochitests on debug B2G emulators on all trunk trees

• install sox command to linux and linux64 hardware machines
• Install Flash for Robocop tests
• Pandas should create network stats file
• Create a Windows-native alternate to msys rm.exe to avoid common problems deleting files
• Release Automation
