Bugs hit

During this release we have hit the following bugs:

• bug 589914 - tag step should not fail on APPROVAL REQUIRED
• bug 553300 - we have to move 10.5 slaves to run l10n verification. The day we share pools with production we won't hit this. I added a note on the wiki note to remember to bring them over for the next release.
• bug 609887 - we currently run repacks in a subset of slaves. I moved slaves that were not in the subset for needed for macosx64_repack. I added a note on the wiki note to remember to bring them over for the next release.
• bug 609932 - L10n Verification failed for Linux because we now have checksums

Build 1

Setup

• marked "any master" for "any release" for "any builder" to clobber (not connected to Build-VPN to force LDAP auth - https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer - check the date for one of release builders to confirm it worked)
• moving slaves
  • from pm01:
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,10,17}, linux-ix-slave13
    • bm-xserve{15,18,19,21} We don't have 10.5 for this beta
    • moz2-darwin10-slave{18,19,40-43,45-46}
    • mw32-ix-slave{03,04,09,10,12}
  • from pm03:
    • moz2-linux64-slave0{1,2,8,9,12}

• moved more slaves (see "Bugs hit" section - I did this after build jobs started)
  • from pm01:
    • moz2-darwin9-slave{05,06,07,09,11,12} - so we can do L10n verification
    • moz2-darwin10-slave{06,07,08,09,11,12} - so we can do L10n Macos64 repacks

• received GO
• closed TREE
• submitted patch for review with new l10n-changeset and driver's changeset
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom and tools

# buildbot-configs
hg tag -r 23deb7d0556b FIREFOX_4_0b7_BUILD1
hg tag -r 23deb7d0556b FIREFOX_4_0b7_RELEASE
# tools

hg tag -r ed7c08dbed63 FIREFOX_4_0b7_RELEASE

• Landed config changes
• removed *.pyc from moz2-master dir in pm:8010
• reconfig'd
• Trigger the automation

buildbot sendchange --username=armenzg --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b7 build1" Go

Tag

slave: linux-ix-slave13

• tagging failed on the last step because I used HTML comment on the tinderbox admin page. Failed with:

hg push -e "ssh -l ffxbld -i ~cltbld/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa" -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
...
pushing to ssh://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central

• I should have remove the following instead of commenting it out:

<!--<span id="treestatus" style="color: red;">APPROVAL REQUIRED</span> for Gecko 2.0b7 blockers or Fennec 2.0b2 blockers - see the <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tree_Rules#mozilla-central_-_Trunk_.28Firefox_4.0.2C_Gecko_2.0_work.29">Tree Rules</a>. )-->

• After fixing tree rule I logged into linux-ix-slave13 and run the step manually:

cd /builds/slave/tag/mozilla-central
hg push -e "ssh -l ffxbld -i ~cltbld/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa" -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central

• reconfigured master with Dummy factory and did another sendchange
• Re-opened the tree
• Filed bug 609717

Source

slave: linux-ix-slave13

• No problems

Build/Repack

• Linux: green, no problems
• Linux64: green, no problems
• Mac64: green, no problems (took too long)
• Win32: green, no problems

Unittests

Results

TODO review each one later and verify they are known.

Looked at Firefox-Release tbox page to find orange jobs.

Oranges:

• [Rev3 Fedora 12 release-mozilla-central talos dromaeo http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox-Release/1288905204.1288908545.9308.gz]
• Rev3 MacOSX Leopard 10.5.8 release-mozilla-central opt test mochitest-other
• Rev3 Fedora 12 release-mozilla-central opt test mochitest-other

Signing

• No en-US.xpi to remove from stage, bug 485860 is FIXED. May need reopening as no en-US.xpi in $platform/xpi either
• Used instructions
• Hit an error on the verify-asc target. Filed bug 609816. Fallout from the three new files

linux-i686/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums

• ran the fake-upload target manually, then upload

L10N Verify

• Linux L10n and Linux L64 verification failed with:

Unknown package type for file: firefox-4.0b7-build1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums
Unknown package type for file: firefox-4.0b7-build1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums

• bug 609932 - L10n Verification failed for Linux because we now have checksums
• land fix
• clobber
• force build both builders that failed
• All green

Updates

No problems

• For 10.5 we will have to fiddle the old universal snippets. TODO do-it and document it

Update Verify

All green but I can see the following:

# for linux
remove failed: -1,2 (searchplugins/bing.xml.moz-backup)
# for osx
remove failed: -1,2 (Contents/MacOS/searchplugins/bing.xml.moz-backup)
remove failed: -1,2 (force_plist_reload.moz-backup)
# for win32
remove failed: -1,2 (mozjs.dll.moz-backup)
remove failed: -1,2 (searchplugins/bing.xml.moz-backup)

• bing.xml is new for all platforms.
• bhearsum mentions that force_plist_reload is known to be new
• khuey mentions that mozjs.dll is new on Windows for beta7

Push to mirrors

• Wait for email from driver before continuing
