Notes

Build 1

Using RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M14, same as Fx3.0.11 but new for Tb. Leaving Tinderbox on RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11 (don't need bug bug 413491).

Slave cleanup

• production-prometheus-vm
  • need ~10GB for tag, source, update generation and linux verify, stage; removed /builds/updates/thunderbird-2.0.0.21 to leave 15.4GB free

• production-crazyhorse
  • already had 22GB free on /builds

• bm-xserve05
  • need ~20GB for mac builds, l10n_verify, mac update verify (but 13GB already allocated for builds); already had 29.6GB free.

• production-patrocles
  • driveE: already had 68GB free

• production-pacifica-vm
  • already 29.6GB free, plenty for update verify

• Land changes and retag tb-moz18-bootstrap.cfg
  • cvs tag -d RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M14 tb-moz18-bootstrap.cfg # to delete the tag on the old version
  • cvs tag RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M14 tb-moz18-bootstrap.cfg # to tag the new version

Setup master before starting:

• update mozilla/tools/buildbot-configs/automation/production/tb-master.cfg for most recent milestone of bootstrap
• as buildmaster@production-1.8-master, cd /builds/buildbot/Thunderbird-Automation/buildbot-configs. Check for local diff, revert any changes from last release, dry run a cvs up, then cvs up
• master.cfg is "Locally Modified" to contain passwords; identical to repository version otherwise.
• Ran 'buildbot reconfig /home/buildmaster/Thunderbird-Automation'
• Buildbot waterfall is here (MPT-VPN); this is a separate instance from the Firefox master, with production-prometheus-vm and bm-xserve05 running a slave for each master
• Stop nightly builds on bm-xserve05 (~cltbld $ buildbot stop /builds/slave/) and annotate Mozilla1.8 tree to explain its absence

Start automation run:

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9990 -m"Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 build 1" release

Tag

config/milestone.txt was not bumped (we expect Firefox to have already done this). Manual fix (done between /cvsroot and /l10n tagging)

cvs up -r GECKO181_20090302_RELBRANCH milestone.txt
# edit and remove pre to have '1.8.1.21'
cvs ci -m "Bug 480864, update milestone.txt for Tb2.0.0.21 (on GECKO181_20090302_RELBRANCH)" milestone.txt
cvs tag -F THUNDERBIRD_2_0_0_22_BUILD1 milestone.txt
cvs tag -F THUNDERBIRD_2_0_0_22_RELEASE milestone.txt

bug 481079 to fix this up.

• Will need to follow Signing doc

==

Please be sure to use

• RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M14 in the buildbot master config and when tagging the Bootstrap config file, we need bug 481079 so that tagging works properly.
• UPDATE_PACKAGING_R8 in the bootstrap config, so that we start using SHA512 hashes in update snippets, bug 472790
