Build 1

Tag

• Tag failed out with a 'setupBuild' exception. Buildbot cannot handle Builders with more than 100 ShellCommands, see this line: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/buildbot/buildbot/process/base.py#397
  • Fixed by changing that line to '< 1000'
  • Upstream buildbot bug: http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/366
  • Our bug: bug 458911
• Tag failed again because the 'hg.mozilla.org' host key wasn't accepted on the production slaves.
  • Went around and accepted the key on linux slaves 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 11, 12 (mac and win32 machines do not push to hg)
• Tag failed again with a traceback when trying to push:

• • Turns out that we never asked for 'ffxbld' to have push access to l10n repositories. Filed bug 458908 to get that enabled.

• Tagging went fine after this

• Two action items:
  • Dependent scheduler did not fire TODO
  • Check-in comments say 'cltbld' when they should say 'ffxbld' TODO

Source

• Automated, no problems.
• Manually pushed builds to stage:

# as cltbld@stage.mozilla.org
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly
mkdir -p 3.1b1-candidates/build1
cd 3.1b1-candidates/build1
mkdir linux-i686 mac win32 update source
# as cltbld@moz2-linux-slave06 (where the source tarball/bundle were generated
cd /builds/moz2_slave/source
scp firefox-3.1b1* cltbld@stage.mozilla.org:/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.1b1-candidates/build1/source

Build

• No problems with linux build
• Created *_info.txt files on stage
• Created en-US subdirs on stage:

cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.1b1-candidates/build1
mkdir linux-i686/en-US mac/en-US win32/en-US

• On moz2-linux-slave05:

cd /builds/moz2_slave/linux_build/build/obj-firefox
make package
make -C tools/update-packaging
# upload
scp firefox-3.1b1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 cltbld@stage.mozilla.org:/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.1b1-candidates/build1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.1b1.tar.bz2
