Notes

Build 1

Did you ship the L10n milestone ???

Yes

Set reserved slaves

  • Reserve slaves (you need ~6 each of linux, linux64, win32 (w32), and macosx64 (bld-r5-lion)). Doing this 2-3 hours in advance should speed things up. e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves
6

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • aki created l10n milestones
  • didn't do a clobber as we always clobber now, and armenzg did an accidental one yesterday
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage, or tbirdbld and use thunderbird in path
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
  • moved 6 mw32-ix and 6 bld-lion-r5 over to bm13
  • Updated l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Double landed automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_14_0b8_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • update and reconfigure the master
  • test run the automation
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas -V 14.0b8 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001
  • no problems found so started the automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
    • the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"

details

  1. Look to see that they ran
  2. Document any oranges (per platform) for unittests - if possible, try to confirm it's known/random
  3. Make sure there's no red/failures that we need to have a dev look at

Going to Beta

Run backupsnip

NOTE: Remember to do this at least 2 hours ahead of the expected "go to beta" email. details

Remember to ssh to aus3-staging using your short LDAP name and then run sudo su - ffxbld once on. If you intend to use screen, initiate your screen session while you are still yourself.

Push to beta channel

Publish Fennec to the Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

Push the files
Play Store

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

  • download both multi apks. These have the same name so save them to separate directories.
  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the android 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"
  • If you're also uploading XUL Fennec, repeat the same steps for the android-xul multilocale apk
  • activate new android apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old android apk (You should not see the Error message anymore). You can identify the two build types by
    • Native Fennec (phones) has Supported screens: small-large
    • XUL Fennec (tablets) has Supported screens: xlarge
  • If you're also activating XUL Fennec, repeat those steps for the android-xul multilocale apk.
  • 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"
