Releases/Firefox 38.0.6/BuildNotes

38.0.6 is a Very Special release caused by bug 1171730. We'll be building all of the normal deliverables, but only shipping updates to win32 en-US users on Funnelcake builds (channel=release-cck-mozilla*). This release will also not be shipped on www.mozilla.org. Because of these things the normal checklist isn't going to be super helpful. Here's the rough order of operations, but it's by no means guaranteed to be complete or totally accurate.

• Submit to Ship It
• After the win32_build completes:
  • Manually run AV on en-US Windows build
  • Manually push to mirrors
  • Manually run updates builder + tweak rules
  • Manually verify updates on release-cdntest-cck-mozilla*
  • Manually ship by tweaking rules in Balrog

We will still let other platforms, locales, and partner repacks run to completion, and probably run the full AV scan + update verify, and maybe rsync them to the releases directory when completed. Having this full set of binaries in the end makes it much easier for us to generate partials against this version later if necessary.

Manually run AV scan

Need to run this through extract_and_run_command.py. Look at an old av log to see an example.

Manually push to mirrors

Probably easiest just to look at an old push to mirrors log, copy/paste the rsync args, and run that for 38.0.6.

Manually run updates builder

Once the en-US win32 build completes we've got all the binaries needed to ship, but not all of the information in release blob. To get this in place the "updates" builder should be run through force build. Hopefully it will succeed, though it's possible it may crap out when bumping a config. Once completed we need to do some additional rule tweaks to enable proper testing. The goal is that 38.0.6 should only be available for win32 en-US users on a channel matching "release-cck-mozilla*". We also want to make sure that only users coming from 38.0 and earlier receive a What's New Page. Here's something that should probably work:

• Revert product:Firefox, channel:release-cdntest rule back to 38.0.5
• Add new rule for product:Firefox, channel:release-cdntest-cck-mozilla*, build target:WINNT_x86-msvc, locale:en-US, version:<38.0.5, priority:94, mapping:Firefox-38.0.6-build1-whatsnew
• Add new rule for product:Firefox, channel:release-cdntest-cck-mozilla*, build target:WINNT_x86-msvc, locale:en-US, priority:93, mapping:Firefox-38.0.6-build1

Priorities from above are quite high because we already have 91 and 92 taken by the regular release channel WNP configuration.

TEST THE CRAP OUT OF THIS. THE AUTHOR IS NOT GUARANTING THAT THIS WILL WORK!!!!!!!
