eyal edri [Administrator] commented on OVIRT-973:
-------------------------------------------------

We need to find a solution for allowing builds with non default params to be triggered as part of build-on-demand, which we don't want to run all the time in CI.
This makes sense for many reasons, especially now that these jobs are used for OST manual testing, for e.g:

* Build all permutations to verify a UI bug
* Build with DEBUG mode on, to have more logs

So we need to find a generic way to support this in standard CI.

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

> 21:13:24 [INFO]       Compiling permutation 0...
> 21:16:54 [INFO]    Compile of permutations succeeded

> 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:
