Build 1

Done on pm01

Setup

Set up a Clobber

Set a clobber for pm01, any release, any builder with clobberer

Sync l10n repositories

cd /builds/slave
mkdir rc1-sync
cd rc1-sync
wget -O- http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/tip/browser/locales/shipped-locales  | grep -v en-US | cut -f1 -d" " > locales.txt
echo vi >> locales.txt
for i in `cat locales.txt`; do hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/$i; done
for i in `cat locales.txt`; do hg -R $i push -e 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa' ssh://ffxbld@hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-2.0/$i; done

Reserve Slaves

On pm01, did the following, to reserve enough fast slaves for the release:

cd /builds/buildbot/builder_master1
echo 6 > reserved_slaves_pm01

Land Configs

• Landed release config updates
• Also landed a patcher config update to ensure we get rc1 -> rc2 release channel updates.

Tag Repositories

Tagged build/tools, buildbotcustom, and buildbot-configs with FIREFOX_4_0rc2_RELEASE and FIREFOX_4_0rc2_BUILD1

Update Master

Updated /tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom, /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools and /builds/buildbot/configs on pm01 to the latest of the production branches. Afterwards, reconfiged with the following command:

cd /builds/buildbot/builder_master1
make reconfig && tail -F twistd.log | grep configuration

Run release_sanity.py

PYTHONPATH=/builds/buildbot/builder_master1:/builds/buildbot/builder_master1/tools/lib/python python /builds/buildbot/builder_master1/tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 4.0rc2 --branch mozilla-2.0 --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-2.0.py --dryrun localhost:9010

Kick it off
