  • bug 747481 pushsnip for test snippets didn't work properly because of file ownership on aus2-staging. test snippets were pushed but the non-test snippets weren't transfered. The following command was used to transfer the non-test snippets:
cd /builds/slave/rel-m-beta-updates/build/temp/firefox/12.0b6-13.0b1
rsync -av -e 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/auspush' aus2/ ffxbld@aus3-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-13.0b1-build1

Notes

Build 1

Diff mozconfigs

If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
    • set any master, mozilla-beta, any builder on apr-24 at 5:52pm
  • Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1 
8
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
  • Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags. (details)
    • Sample command for Firefox 10.0 beta 5 build 1:
bash shortcut: hg tag -f {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_13_0b1_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • update and reconfigure the master
  • start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
# Combined release
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u jhford -V 13.0b1 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001
