Notes

Tracking bug: bug 782986

Release engineer: aki

Buildbot master: buildbot-master13

Build 1

Ship the l10n milestone

Made these changes to the doc and followed them.

Set reserved slaves

Set to 8

Locking slaves

Locked mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04,07} to bm13. Since these were running l10n nightlies and they're set to reboot afterwards, I let them finish.

Landed release configs, and tagged

hg tag -f {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_16_0b3_{RELEASE,BUILD1}

Reconfig

make update checkconfig && python buildbot-wrangler.py reconfig /builds/buildbot/build1/master/

Dry run

PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u aki \
   -V 16.0b3 --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

No problems; reran without --dryrun to start automation.

signed android builds

on cltsign@signing1

cd ~/signing-work/mozharness hg pull -u && hg up -C cd .. python2.6 mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py

unreserve slaves

Set to 0. Left the mw32's on bm13 for the next beta.
