Releases/Firefox 3.0.1/Post-Mortem

This page is for notes from the Firefox 2.0.0.16/3.0.1 post-mortem meeting held on [to be decided].

Agenda

On the beta release day, we had the following issues:
- AUS snippets weren't showing bug 430737. oremj was out and temporarily fixing this issue (refreshing the files) wasn't documented well. How do we keep this from happening again?
- Website changes that were pushed didn't appear in Europe because of an issue with the nl colo syncing. What happened and how do we keep it from happening?
On release day:
- Had issues with snippets appearing again
- Had issues with the nl mirror sync again
- I must have hit a bad mirror because at the very start of going live I could not get my Intel Mac Tiger machine to update. I experienced updates hanging, and it seemed as if the partial from 3.0->3.01 actually failed and went to the complete but I did not get notification. Unfortunately I did not have Live HTTP Headers turned on so I could not identify the bad mirror. Subsequent updates on the same machine a bit later were ok. The odd thing is I have never seen such a slow update when testing the various .dot releases. [marcia]
