Notes

Build 1

• Used clobberer to clean up previous releases dirs'
• no l10n in this alpha
• Land version bump, reconfig production-master, sendchange:

buildbot sendchange --username=bhearsum --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 3.7a1build1 gogogo" go

Tag

No problems

Source

Had to manually rename to 'mozilladeveloperpreview-3.7a1.{source.tar.bz2,.bundle}' because source packages don't obey in-repo branding. Would be fixed with bug 510770:

# ffxbld@stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.7a1-candidates/source
rename firefox mozilladeveloperpreview *

Build/Repack

• Linux: no problems
  • unit tests passed
• Mac: failed at MAR creation, had to kick through manually:
  • Applied this patch as a workaround:

diff --git a/tools/update-packaging/Makefile.in b/tools/update-packaging/Makefile.in
--- a/tools/update-packaging/Makefile.in

• • Ran these commands to finish up the build on the slave:

cd /builds/slave/macosx_build/build
MOZ_OBJDIR=obj-firefox MOZ_PKG_PRETTYNAMES=1 MOZ_PKG_VERSION=3.7a1 make -C obj-firefox/ppc/tools/update-packaging/
make upload MOZ_OBJDIR=obj-firefox MOZ_PKG_PRETTYNAMES=1 MOZ_PKG_VERSION=3.7a1 POST_UPLOAD_CMD="post_upload.py -p firefox -v 3.7a1 -n 1 --release-to-candidates-dir" UPLOAD_EXTRA_FILES=macosx_info.txt UPLOAD_HOST=stage.mozilla.org UPLOAD_SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa UPLOAD_TO_TEMP=1 UPLOAD_USER=ffxbld

• • On the master, to start the unittests:

buildbot sendchange --username=sendchange-unittest --master=localhost:9010 --branch=macosx-release-unittest --revision=43e818c28059 "http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.7a1-candidates/build1/mac/en-US/MozillaDeveloperPreview 3.7 Alpha 1.dmg"

• • unit tests passed

• Win32: First build crashed bug 543034
  • kicked again with 'force build', worked this time
  • sendchange timed out, had to run it by hand.
  • unit tests pass

Deleted en-US.xpi from candidates dir

Sign

instructions Signing didn't work out-of-box -- had to do this (after exporting variables):

make setup download stubs PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
export PRODUCT=mozilladeveloperpreview
# fails, but it doesn't matter
make sign-files PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
make checksum-files create-sigs stage verify PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
export PRODUCT=firefox
make fake-upload PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
make upload PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1

Final checks before push

Each of the find calls should return no output.

cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.7a1-candidates/build1/
find . ! -user ffxbld
find . ! -group firefox
find . -type f ! -perm 644
find . -mindepth 1 -type d ! -perm 755 ! -name 'contrib*'
find . -mindepth 1 -type d ! -perm 755 ! -name 'contrib*'
^^ Last line is WRONG, should be |find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -perm 2775 ! -name 'contrib*'|

No Solaris builds at this point, so no output from any of these commands.

Push to mirrors

After consultation with release-drivers we decided to ship to: /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/devpreview/1.9.3a1

mkdir /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/devpreview
rsync -av --exclude=*tests* --exclude=*crashreporter* --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.txt --exclude=*unsigned* /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.7a1-candidates/build1/ /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/devpreview/1.9.3a1

Had to file a bug to get Sentry looking at the right locale bug 545396.

Release

Nothing to do here for the first Alpha.
