Notes

This release will be done on p-m.

Build 1

• Clean up previous releases build dirs, just for the slaves we used for 3.6b2 build1. Used cssh for linux/mac, RDP as Administrator on win32.
  • Linux: moz2-linux-slave01,02,05-10,19,23,25; rm -rf /builds/slave/{tag,source,linux_build,linux_repack,updates,linux_update_verify,final_verification}/*
  • Mac: bm-xserve07,09,11; moz2-darwin9-slave02,05-10; rm -rf /builds/slave/{macosx_build,macosx_repack,l10n_verification, macosx_update_verify}/*
  • Win32: moz2-win32-slave01,02,05-10,13,14; rm -rf /e/builds/moz2_slave/{win32_build,win32_repack,win32_update_verify,wince_build}/*
• Got review on the release config patch, landed, reconfig p-m
• Axel has already provided shipped-locales and l10n-changesets_mozilla-1.9.2 (bug 528572), but may land further updates
• Closed the mozilla-1.9.2 tree
• Tagged build/{buildbot-configs,buildbotcustom,tools} with FIREFOX_3_6b3_RELEASE
• Sendchange was

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -m "Firefox 3.6b3 build1" ShakeAndBakeBaby

Socorro product data updates

Filed bug 528840 against IT to add the following entries to the Socorro db. Since Socorro 1.1 went live this is done with an Admin control panel, so asked ss to enable those versions. That requires at least one crash report so created those using the CrashMe extension with linux 3.6b3 and 3.6b4pre builds.

Tag

• slave: moz2-linux-slave28

Build/Repack

• slaves used
• Manual verification that all l10n builds present:

# stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.6b3-candidates/build1
# each should be 61 = en-US  + 60 l10n builds
for p in linux-i686 mac unsigned/win32; do
  echo `ls $p | grep -v xpi | wc -l` $p
done

• Removed en-US.xpi from the 3.6b3-candidates/build1/ directory on stage
• No problems

Sign

• instructions
• No problems

L10nVerify

• slave: moz2-darwin9-slave12
• Get error

Unknown package type for file: firefox-3.6b3-build1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.6b3.crashreporter-symbols.zip

• Patch up for review
• slave cleaned up
• land patch, reconfig master, force new run

Generate updates and push betatest snippets

• slave: moz2-linux-slave20

Push to mirrors

Need to exclude crash reporter symbols in $platform/en-US directories

XULRunner build

Builds are forced manually, using revision of FIREFOX_3_6b3_RELEASE, name and reason. When they complete

# xrbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/
mkdir -p 1.9.2b3-candidates/build1/
mv -v latest-mozilla-1.9.2/*-1.9.2b3.* 1.9.2b3-candidates/build1/

Contacted mfinkle and dtownsend for smoketest QA.
