Build 1

  • Marked all builders for all branches (picking just one branch doesn't work right now) releases on pm for a clobber -- https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/ has a Release Clobber option if you are not connected to Build VPN
  • Moved Slaves to pm
    • from pm01
      • bm-xserve{06,11,12,16}
      • mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04}
      • moz2-darwin10-slave{05,06,07}
      • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03}
    • from pm03
      • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,11}
      • moz2-linux64-slave{01,02,03}
      • mw32-ix-slave{14}
  • Landed configs patch
  • Updated /tools/buildbotcustom, removed /builds/buildbot/moz2-master/*.pyc, checkconfig
  • Closed tree for tagging and then started automation with:
buildbot sendchange --username=lsblakk --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b5 build1" Go

Tag

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems, re-opened tree. Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with FIREFOX_4_0b5_BUILD1, FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE

Source

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems

Build/Repack

  • Announce the build candidates dir link in the Releases wiki
  • Linux build/repack - no problems
  • Linux64 build/repack - no problems
  • Macosx64 build/repack - no problems
  • Macosx build/repack - no problems
  • Win32 build - no problems
    • id repack failed because it lost the slave so I did a force build setting branch=id, en_revision&l10n_revision=FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE, and locale=id
    • id passed repack on second run

Returned slaves (all but 2 linux, and one per OS for post-signing)

  • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03} -> pm01
  • moz2-linux64-slave{02,03} -> pm03
  • moz2-darwin10-slave{06,07} -> pm01
  • bm-xserve{11,12,16} -> pm01
  • mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04} -> pm01

Unittests

Triggered properly, no problems.

Results

  • Linux/Linux64/Macosx64/Win32{win2k3,win7}/Macosx

Signing

en-US.xpi removed from stage bug 485860: 

#ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b5-candidates/build1
rm en-US.xpi

Using instructions.

L10N Verify

The output of l10n verify is horrifically long due to the switch to omni.jar. Every locale has the files from chrome/ab-CD.jar moved into omni.jar, and when when you're unpacking said jars and using diff -N you get a lot of output.

  • linux and linux64 look fine
  • win32 has differences between the three nss chk files, which also affected 4.0b4. should be fixed by bug 592457

Updates

Update Verify

Several problems.

  • Win32 wasn't able to complete due to slave disconnecting (bug 592490)
  • update verify configs weren't bumped properly, bug 592570 - we tried to update 4.0b3 with 4.0b5 but then compare it against 4.0b4
    • landed fix and reran (no clobber necessary for this, it lives in the tools checkout)
  • green on those runs

For each partial, output like 

Only in source/bin: chrome
Only in source/bin/defaults: autoconfig
Only in source/bin/defaults: profile
Only in source/bin: modules
Files source/bin/omni.jar and target/bin/omni.jar differ

WARN: non-binary files found in diff
WARN: check_updates returned warning for WINNT_x86-msvc downloads/Firefox Setup 4.0 Beta 4.exe vs. downloads/Firefox Setup 4.0 Beta 5.exe: 2

with a big snip in removed-files. The complete is the same except that it doesn't have the removed-files change, and chrome isn't empty: 

Contents of source/bin/chrome dir only in source or target
3162460  280 -rw-r--r--   1 cltbld   Administrators   572843 Aug  16:00 source/bin/chrome/be.jar

On linux & linux64 this appears as 

Only in source/firefox/chrome: be.jar

because there's still an chrome/icons/ left.

Notes:

  • empty dirs left over from files moving into omni.jar are expected, updater isn't allowed to remove them
  • removed-files is not included in partial updates for some reason (see make_incremental_updates.py), the diff is harmless though
  • omni.jar differs on win32 - fixed by bug 592369 ?
  • complete updates are leaving behind chrome/ab-CD.jar - filed bug 592574 - not urgent to fix

Only the omni.jar issue has known consquences.
