Notes

Build 1

Starting the Release

  • L10N Changesets *

Currently we have separate changesets files for Fennec and Firefox. Both are generated from the l10n dashboard
First log in to the dashboard with your LDAP and then follow the instructions below

Fennec

android
  • In the 'Add a multi-locale file for' field put
android-multilocale
  • select "Add"
    • repo: "releases/mozilla-beta"
    • branch: "default"
    • path: "mobile/android/locales/maemo-locales"
  • select "Generate it"
  • Copy and paste it into your repo's l10n-changesets_mobile-{version}.json
  • go back to the original page
  • select "Ship it" to preserve the record of what was shipped

Firefox

  • Click "ship it" to load up the milestone (eg: Firefox 14 Beta Build 11)
  • This will take you to https://l10n.mozilla.org/shipping/confirm-ship?ms=fx14_beta_b11
  • Open in a new tab the "l10n-changesets" URL (don't touch any of the other fields) record the URL on the build notes
  • copy and paste the list into your l10n-changesets_mozilla-{version}
  • go back to the original page
  • select "Ship it"
    • if you forget the URL, you can recreate the URL by judicious modification of the URL from the prior build notes


  • Set reserved_slaves:
on buildbot-master13
cd /builds/buildbot/build1
echo 8 > master/reserved_slaves
  • Made sure had enough slaves to do the release.
    • 5 lion, 6 win32, plenty of linux - no need to do any additional locking
  • Created the candidates directory:
# ffxbld@stage
version=14.0b11
product=firefox
cd /pub/mozilla.org/$product/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
  • Landed l10n-changesets and release config updates
  • Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_14_0b11_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • Updated and reconfiged buildbot-master13
  • Ran release sanity:
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u kmoir -V 14.0b11 --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 issues discovered by release sanity, so I started the release:
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u kmoir -V 14.0b11 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1     --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  localhost:9001
