Notes

tracking bug: bug 767943
buildbot master: 13

Build 1

• reserved slaves

   [cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves
   0
   [cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ echo 8 >reserved_slaves
   [cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves
   8

• clobbered m-b
• generated l10n changesets (some confusion on my part, resolved & docs updated)
• no need to lock slaves, still locked
  • mw32-ix-slave02 needed rebooting to connect (aki|buildduty did)
• double landed config changes (see bug 767943)
• tagged on bm13 & started both fennec & firefox (forgot to save output)
  • release sanity passed fine, so all parameters supplied match commit checkin.
  • Did set myself as user, as shown by change source in buildbot.
• signed FN builds (updated docs on when it's okay to do this step)
  • used the documented command for FN (after the fact copy/paste):

 cd ~/signing-work/mozharness
 hg pull -u && hg up -C
 python2.6 ~/signing-work/mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py --platform android

• reset slaves (shell history):

 995  cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master/
 996  cat reserved_slaves 
 997  >reserved_slaves
 998  cat reserved_slaves

• pushed fennec snips
  • confusion on version # due to this window of interwoven GA & beta releases using same version. Script docs updated.
