• tagged buildbot-configs on "production" branch with FIREFOX_3_6_14_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_3_6_14_RELEASE
• merge to production
• updated /tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom, /builds/buildbot/configs, and /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools to latest
• reconfigured master (Not needed - release_sanity.py takes care of it)

L10n Repack

• macosx_repack_2/6 died with SIGUSR1 before attempting any repacks
  • Manually rebooted bm-xserve16
  • Retriggered the builder with "rebuild"
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug
• macosx_repack_4/6 failed because post_upload failed for 'ko'
  • used "macosx_standalone_repack" to re-trigger 'ko' as documented in here
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug
• win32_repack_5/6 failed to timeout on w32-ix-slave23 being slow
  • gracefully shutdown the slave and re-triggered the job
  • check bugs hit section for any filed bug

Partner Repack

• Linux & Mac partner repack failed to upload builds bug 616512
  • the way to recover until the bug is fixed is to wait for win32 build to finish and then just re-trigger; no clobber is needed as it is not used by the builder
  • instead I failed to read note from bhearsum and I did the following
    • tried to debug locally on "bm-xserve22" why it did not work but when run it worked

cd /builds/slave/rel-192-lnx-partner-rpk/./partner-repacks/scripts/repacked_builds/3.6.14/build1
rsync -av -e ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa . \
ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1/unsigned/partner-repacks
bash -c 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org \
touch /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1//unsigned/partner-repacks/partner_build_linux'
# after touching the autosign system can proceeed

• • with the Mac repack that failed I re-triggered
    • FAILS: the reason is that the first job that failed did not run the cleanup job
    • TODO file bug with fix and explaining better

• It is all fine now

XULRunner Build

All good.

Signing

Currently running .

TODO I am afraid I did remove too late. After the "sign-release.py for firefox 3.6.14 starting" email was sent. Let's see.

#ffxbld@stage-old.mozilla.org
rm /home/ftp/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.14-candidates/build1/en-US.xpi

No problems, followed CombinedSigning doc.
