Hey Guys,
I've just got through a big round of lava-dispatcher testing over the past 2 days. I started mostly getting things working locally, and then I transfered to getting things working on dogfood this afternoon.
= dogfood
dogfood is not set up in a similar way as staging in. I copied the restore-staging-db script from lava-deployment-tool and adapted it restore-dogfood-db locally. The big difference is that it marks its configured boards as OFFLINE. Right now the best way to use dogfood is to mark a board offline in staging (including a note why is nice), and then marking it online in dogfood.
= staging
our bugs in staging *should* be fixed now. I have health checks running on everything, but its currently at the same dispatcher level as dogfood, so I don't expect changes.
I'm going to be on vacation tomorrow and out of town over the weekend. However, I plan to trry and keep submitting different types of jobs to staging over the weekend to validate its still working well. This should lead to the big moment on Monday when we'll publish to the 2012.10 release.
