Notes

Build 1

Using RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11, same as for Fx2.0.0.18 and Tb2.0.0.17

Slave cleanup

• production-prometheus-vm
  • need ~10GB for tag, source, update generation and linux verify, stage; already had 20GB free

• production-crazyhorse
  • 23GB free on /builds
  • update tinderbox to automation tag
    • cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox; cvs up -CPd -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11

• bm-xserve05
  • need ~20GB for mac builds, l10n_verify, mac update verify (but 16GB already allocated for builds); 14G free already
  • update tinderbox to automation tag
    • cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox; cvs up -CPd -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11

• production-patrocles
  • 53GB free
  • update tinderbox to automation tag
    • cd /cygdrive/e/builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox; cvs up -CPd -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11

• Land changes and retag tb-moz18-bootstrap.cfg
  • cvs tag -d RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11 tb-moz18-bootstrap.cfg # to delete the tag on the old version
  • cvs tag RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11 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, dry run a cvs up, then cvs up
• master.cfg is "Locally Modified" to contain passwords; identical to repository version otherwise.
• Ran 'buildbot start /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 macosx-1.8-slave2/) and annotate Mozilla1.8 tree to explain its absence

Start automation run:

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9990 -m"Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 build" release

Update Verify

Automated, both mac and linux had errors due to AUS not returning updates for the couple of locales. FIXME: Need a 2 minute delay here. Ran both again, but it picked up the failures from the first log again. Moved /builds/release/logs/updates_verify.log to updates_verify.log.1 (mac aliases mv to cp!) - reran and went green.
