=Notes=
=Notes=
==Build 1==
==Build 1==
===Syncing repos===
===Preparing to start Automation===
(eg: mozilla-beta -> mozilla-release for new Firefox releases)
* [http://build.mozilla.org/clobberer clobbered] Any Master, mozilla-beta, Any builder at 20120403 1502PT
====Diff mozconfigs====
* Reserved 8 slaves
If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.
* For build1 only:
[ffxbld@surf nightly]$ cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
[ffxbld@surf nightly]$ mkdir ../candidates/12.0b4-candidates
[ffxbld@surf nightly]$ ln -s ../candidates/12.0b4-candidates .
[ffxbld@surf nightly]$ ls -l 12.0b4-candidates
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ffxbld firefox 31 Apr  3 15:26 12.0b4-candidates -> ../candidates/12.0b4-candidates
[ffxbld@surf nightly]$


===Preparing to start Automation===
* Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile ''done''
* Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
* Land automation configs ''double landed'
** [http://build.mozilla.org/clobberer clobberer]
* Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags. ''done''
* Reserve slaves, e.g.:
* update and reconfigure the master ''done''
<pre>
* start automation ''done''
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd
* reconfigure other masters ''not needed''
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1
8
</pre>
* For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until {{bug|725839}} is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
* Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
** [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release:Release_Automation_on_Mercurial:Documentation#L10N_Changesets Instructions] on how to get them
** [https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/milestones dashboard]
* Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
* Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags.
** Sample command for Firefox 10.0 beta 5 build 1:
<pre>
hg tag -f FIREFOX_10_0b5_RELEASE FIREFOX_10_0b5_BUILD1 FENNEC_10_0b5_RELEASE FENNEC_10_0b5_BUILD1
</pre>
* update and reconfigure the master
* start automation
* reconfigure other masters (or ask the buildduty person to do this) <em>if you have done a merge (and not double-land) to production</em>


=== E-mail Metrics ===
=== E-mail Metrics ===
Use the address "metrics-alerts < AT > mozilla < PERIOD > org"
Use the address "metrics-alerts < AT > mozilla < PERIOD > org"


For 3.6.25 you would send
For 12.0b4 it would be ''done''
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.25,3.6
  Firefox,firefox,firefox,12.0b4,12.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.26pre,3.6
  Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,12.0b4,12.0
 
For non-3.6 releases, we need to include Fennec in the email if we build Fennec.
 
For 9.0b2 it would be
Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0b2,9.0
Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0b2,9.0
 
And for 9.0 final it's
  Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0,9.0
  Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0,9.0
 
ESRs look like this:
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3,10.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3esr,10.0
 
=== E-mail mirrors@mozilla.org ===
Not necessary for rapid release betas, files only go as far as the 'internal mirrors'.
 
Coordinate yourself with the person creating the ESR and the latest release which normally go out at the same time.
 
They want to know approximately what time push to external mirrors will occur.  Ideally this is a 24hr notice to them, with the estimated time.
<pre>
Subject: Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] coming to mirrors on {DATE}
Body:
We're planning on pushing our Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] release(s) to mirrors 24 hours before {DATE}.
# If this is a chemspill, please mention that in the email as it will mean pinging
# for CDN to be enabled when the push to internal mirrors happens
 
If you believe these releases or these dates will cause any problems,
please notify release at mozilla.com. If you have any problems with mirror
status/weights/etc, please notify mirror-submissions at mozilla.org.
</pre>


=== Edit rsync exclude files ===
=== Edit rsync exclude files ===
Edit /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude on stage so that it excludes the current release. This prevents external mirrors from picking up the new release prematurely.


For rapid release betas, this is not necessary as there's already an exclude that matches beta releases.
