Build 1

• Clobbered with "Any master/any release/any builder"
• tagged buildbotcustom, compare-locales and tools with FIREFOX_3_6_14_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_3_6_14_RELEASE
• landed config updates, including l10n-changesets from here
• tagged buildbot-configs on "production" branch with FIREFOX_3_6_14_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_3_6_14_RELEASE
• merge to production
• updated /tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom, /builds/buildbot/configs, and /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools to latest
• reconfigured master (Not needed - release_sanity.py takes care of it)
• Left tree open, 0.8.0 automation doesn't require that it closes
• kicked off automation with:

PYTHONPATH=/builds/buildbot/builder_master:/builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools/lib/python python /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 3.6.14 --branch mozilla-1.9.2 --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-1.9.2.py --dryrun localhost:9010

Build

• No problems

L10n Repack

• macosx_repack_2/6 died with SIGUSR1 before attempting any repacks
  • Manually rebooted bm-xserve16
  • Retriggered the builder with "rebuild"
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug
• macosx_repack_4/6 failed because post_upload failed for 'ko'
  • used "macosx_standalone_repack" to re-trigger 'ko' as documented in here
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug
• win32_repack_5/6 failed to timeout on w32-ix-slave23 being slow
  • gracefully shutdown the slave and re-triggered the job
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug

Partner Repack

• Linux & Mac partner repack failed to upload builds bug 616512
  • the way to recover until the bug is fixed is to wait for win32 build to finish and then just re-trigger; no clobber is needed as it is not used by the builder
  • instead I failed to read note from bhearsum and I did the following
    • tried to debug locally on "bm-xserve22" why it did not work but when run it worked

cd /builds/slave/rel-192-lnx-partner-rpk/./partner-repacks/scripts/repacked_builds/3.6.14/build1
rsync -av -e ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa . \
ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1/unsigned/partner-repacks
bash -c 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org \
touch /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1//unsigned/partner-repacks/partner_build_linux'
# after touching the autosign system can proceeed

• 2nd resubmitted Mac repack failed
  • the reason is that the first job that failed did not run the cleanup job
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug

• It is all fine now

XULRunner Build

All good.

Unittests

TODO check what is the easy way to find out on which master these jobs got run and what the status is

Signing

Followed CombinedSigning doc.

I did remove the en-US.xpi file too late.

To recover I did the following:

#ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org
rm /home/ftp/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1/en-US.xpi

On the keymaster:

cd ~/signing-work/firefox-3.6.4/signed_build1
rm en-US.xpi MD5SUMS* SHA1SUMS*
# I run the following command but by running each individually
# because I didn't know I could run it in one shot
# NOTE that "stage", "verify" and "fake-upload" are targets 
# that happen after "sign2" is run
# http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/tip/release/signing/Makefile#l73
make checksum-files create-sigs verify-sigs quick-verify stage verify fake-upload PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG} USE_NEW=1

Then continued by uploading as it would normally be done.

• • TODO file bug to back port fix to 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 and add to bugs hit section

L10n Verify

Many string changes across many platforms/locales. All seemed legitimate, didn't dig further.

Updates

DONE TO HERE currently running.

ETA to completion 4pm PST.
