Notes
Build 1
Preparing to start Automation
- Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
- Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd /builds/buildbot/build1/master [cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1 8
- For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ mkdir ..G/candidates/$version-candidates ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
- Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
- Instructions on how to get them
- 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:
hg tag -f FIREFOX_10_0b5_RELEASE FIREFOX_10_0b5_BUILD1 FENNEC_10_0b5_RELEASE FENNEC_10_0b5_BUILD1
- update and reconfigure the master
- start automation
- reconfigure other masters (or ask the buildduty person to do this) if you have done a merge (and not double-land) to production
E-mail Metrics
Use the address "metrics-alerts < AT > mozilla < PERIOD > org"
For 9.0b2 it would be
Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0b2,9.0 Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0b2,9.0
Edit rsync exclude files
For rapid release betas, this is not necessary as there's already an exclude that matches beta releases.

Reset reserved slaves
This is also a good time to QUIT SIGNCODE on keymaster if you've still got it running.
Check permissions / AV scan
It is supposed to be triggered automatically after updates are done. File a bug if it doesn't.
Push to internal mirrors
This is done by automation for rapid release betas.
Going to Beta
Run backupsnip
NOTE: Remember to do this at least an hour ahead of the expected "go to beta" email.
Push to beta
Before Release Day
Assuming this is not a chemspill.
Run backupsnip for release snippets
Do this the night before release day as it can take up to two hours.
Final verification
Push index file to mirrors
Push to external mirrors
Release Day

Android Market
IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!
- download multi apk (e.g. multi/fennec-10.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk)
- visit https://market.android.com/publish
- choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
- select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
- choose the multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
- NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)
- when it finishes uploading, verify VersionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
- hit "Save"
- choose the multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
- activate new apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
- deactivate old apk (You should not see the Error message anymore)
- hit "Save"
- If this is a beta 1, go to "Product Details" tab -> Recent Changes, change the url to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/{VERSION}beta/releasenotes/
- and hit "Save"
