Notes About Releasing

Please update the Release:Primer for future releases (bug fixes, changes to automation) as needed

Build Engineers

catlee - bug 642557

Notifications

• Notify AV vendors once the signed bits are on candidates directory (for email address and template example, see bug 568884#c15 )
• Give mirrors as much notice as possible before pushing to mirrors. This has been 24-72 hours, but has been up to a week in advance. (for email address and template example, see bug 633657 )
• Notify infra-all@ before "go to build" and before we ship. The more advance notice the better.

• Notify metrics once we release

• clobberer set for everything on pm01 for 4.0rc2
• Reserved slaves was set to 6 for 4.0rc2
• Landed updated automation config
• Manually tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with FIREFOX_3_5_18_RELEASE FIREFOX_3_5_18_BUILD1
• Updated buildbot-configs/buildbotcustom/tools on pm01
• Ran release_sanity.py w/ the dry run option:

Sign

Rail set up signing for 3.5.18. It was done concurrently with 3.6.16 by using two RDP sessions, one for each autosign instance.

Removed en-US.xpi from candidates directory.

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=3.5.18
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_3_5_18_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-1.9.1'
EMAIL=release@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
cd ~/hg-tools
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}
mkdir -p ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}/lib/python
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
rsync -av ~/hg-tools/lib/python/ ./lib/python/
make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1

Signature verification succeeded.

L10n Verify

All platforms failed 'l10n metadiff' with what looks to be just path differences. e.g.

diff -r firefox-3.5.18-build1/diffs/linux-i686.af.diff firefox-3.5.17-build1/diffs/linux-i686.af.diff

Socorro product data updates

crash-stat admin: added Firefox 3.5.18 and Firefox 3.5.19pre .

Update Bouncer

Added by automation, no problems.

Major Update Generation

Failed, because rel-191-mu wasn't clobbered. Requested clobber. Commented the following 2 lines in process/factory.py, reconfigured and rebuilt:

#self.bumpPatcherConfig()
#self.bumpVerifyConfigs()

Local changes discarded, the master reconfigured after mu updates was triggered.

Major Update Verification

Failed for the following dropped locales: as, ka, mn, oc. Expected.

Publish updates to beta channel

Don't forget to unthrottle the beta channel after pushing the beta snippets, because there will be a throttled 3.5.17 --> 4.0 major update present until we overwrite it. This is done by adding an exception for 'beta' in config-dist.php's $throttleExceptions array. Please also add throttling of 3.5.18, with betatest and releastest in the exceptions block, in preparation for major updates out of 3.5.18.

XULRunner

No problems.
