Partner Repacks

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

XULRunner

automated, no problems

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");'
$

3.0.13 -> 3.5.x Major Update Refresh

NOT DONE YET be sure to land this AUS patch

Push updates to beta channel

NOT DONE YET

  # cltbld@aus2-staging.m.o
  # make sure scripts are up to date
  cd bin
  cvs update
  cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
  ~/bin/backupsnip 20090731-Firefox-3.0.13-beta
  ~/bin/pushsnip 20090731-Firefox-3.0.13-beta

Make sure that this AUS throttling update gets landed after beta snippets are pushed, otherwise 3.0.12 beta users will not be passively updated.

Also need to push 3.0.13 -> 3.5.2 MU beta channel snippets.

Publish Updates to Release Channel

NOT DONE YET updated AUS' config-dist.php and pushed because of the new MU at this time.

# cltbld@aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
~/bin/backupsnip 20090731-Firefox-3.0.13
~/bin/pushsnip 20090731-Firefox-3.0.13

Make sure that this AUS throttle update gets landed, tagged, and pushed (instructions are in the bug).

Also need to push 3.0.13 -> 3.5.2 MU release channel snippets.

Release

NOT DONE YET

# ffxbld@stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases
rm latest-3.0 && ln -s 3.0.13 latest-3.0

Release matching XULRunner build

NOT DONE YET XULRunner builds are produced by the automation, this is to groom them and push to the mirrors.

# cltbld@stage
VERSION=1.9.0.13
FX_VERSION=3.0.13
BUILD=1

mkdir -p ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-unsigned/{runtimes,source,sdk}
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-unsigned
rsync -av --exclude=*sdk* --exclude=*info* \
  /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/nightly/${VERSION}-candidates/build${BUILD}/ runtimes/
rsync -av --include=*sdk* --exclude=* \
  /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/nightly/${VERSION}-candidates/build${BUILD}/ sdk/
cp /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases/${FX_VERSION}/source/firefox-${FX_VERSION}-source.tar.bz2 \
  source/xulrunner-${VERSION}-source.tar.bz2
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1
rsync -av stage-unsigned/ stage-signed/

Then create detached signatures per usual process (with PRODUCT=xulrunner, VERSION=1.9.0.13, don't need BUILD or TAG), skip the win32 signing section, do pgp, verify and upload. Back on stage:

cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-signed
cp /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases/${FX_VERSION}/KEY .
~/bin/checksum-files .
chown -R cltbld:xulrunner .
find . -type f -exec chmod -v 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod -v 755 {} \;
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1
rsync -nav stage-signed/* /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/releases/${VERSION}/

If all is fine then

rsync -av stage-signed/* /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/releases/${VERSION}/

(Mirror updating can take a bit, 10-15 mins this time)
