Partner Repacks

no longer need to do these since we've shipped 3.5

Sign Installers

Done manually using these installer-signing-instructions here. NB: Doc location change, content unmodified.

• Had to locally modify sign-release because it hardcodes 'e:/2008-keys' for the key loocation bug 507660

On Stage complete stage-merged:

# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.13/
rsync -av batch1/mar/ stage-merged/
rsync -av batch1/stage-signed/ stage-merged/

Create MD5 and SHA1 checksum files

# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.13/stage-merged/
~/bin/checksum-files .

Fix permissions & ownership (on the two SUM files, and the detached sigs)

chown -R cltbld:firefox .
chmod 644 *SUMS

Update Bouncer

done

Push to mirrors

NOT DONE YET Make sure that you use ffxbld for 'push to mirrors' , rather than cltbld (this is a change, but a desired one).

• push the stage-merged directory to the releases area:

# on stage
rsync -av /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.13/stage-merged/ /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases/3.0.13/

• edit the exclude file (as cltbld) /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-current.exclude to add the new release (3.0.13) and remove the previous release (3.0.12).

Final Verification

NOT DONE YET

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools
cd tools/release/updates
cat moz19-firefox-*.cfg | grep -v major | sed 's/betatest/releasetest/' > update.cfg
./verify.sh -t update.cfg 2>&1 | tee quickVerify.log

• Look for any HTTP error codes besides 200 ("OK") and 302 ("Found"):

grep HTTP quickVerify.log | grep -v 200 | grep -v 302

• • A few 404 errors for http://mozilla2.snt.utwente.nl so checked again when verify was done and the directory at http://mozilla2.snt.utwente.nl/firefox/releases/3.0.12/win32/zh-TW/ was populated

• Before pushing final updates, verify that "release" and "releasetest" channel match:

# on aus2-staging
$ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20090731-Firefox-3.0.13
$ find -type d -iregex '.*release.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/release/releasetest/; system("diff -r -u $_ ../20090731-Firefox-3.0.13-test/$a");'
$
