Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

• Clobber: https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/ Any master -> release-comm-esr10 -> Any builder
• Reserve slaves

# cltbld@buildbot-master32
echo "2" > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves

• No l10n changes
• Double land automation configs
• Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags. (details)

hg tag -f THUNDERBIRD_10_0_8esr_{RELEASE,BUILD1}

• Update and reconf master
• Sanity check

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u callek -V 10.0.8esr \
    --branch comm-esr10 --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-esr10.py --products thunderbird  \
    --dryrun -l localhost:9001

• Release sanity failed checking mozconfigs (CLIENT_PY_ARGS related). Same as 10.0.6esr. Reran with --bypass-mozconfig-check
• Started automation

PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u callek -V 10.0.8esr \
    --branch comm-esr10 --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-esr10.py --products thunderbird  \
    --bypass-mozconfig-check -l localhost:9001
