Greg Sheremeta commented on OVIRT-973:
--------------------------------------

> Alternatively, provide a way to retrigger the nightly build with some parameter enabling the Chrome GWT permutation.

+1. That seems like the best way.

[~eedri] [~bkorren at redhat.com] What is the proper way to do this in Jenkins? I can try to take a stab at it.

Will every engine job need to be updated to have this parameter added? I think (for this use case) we could get away with only needing master on EL7 compiled for both browsers. That's what mburman is using.

> mburman [reports|https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1400010] that the nightly ovirt-engine build is missing the Chrome permutation.

> That should compile 2 if we want Firefox and Chrome, or 3 if we also want IE.
> mburman reports this started on November 30. I'm not sure what changed.
> Adding build flags will fix:
