Notes

RC1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7_2

Setup before starting:

  • Profile Guided Optimisation
    • need at least rev1.383 of tinderbox/build-seamonkey-util.pm when tagging tinderbox
    • for the Windows slave
      • bring over the mk_add_options PROFILE_GEN_SCRIPT... line from the nightly mozconfig to the release one, and the tweaks to CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS
      • Also pick up the new jemalloc line and removal of WIN32_REDIST_DIR
      • bring over $ProfiledBuild = 1; from nightly tinder-config.pl to release one
      • Bump fx-win32-1.9-slave2 up to 2GB of RAM, to match nightly VM
  • used existing version bump bug to attached diff for bootstrap.cfg and master.cfg
    • make sure /builds/buildbot/trunk-automation-master/bootstrap.cfg is updated
    • restarted master
  • compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes
  • On fx-mac-1.9-slave2, fx-win32-1.9-slave2, fx-linux-1.9-slave2
    • update tinderbox to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7_2
      • FIXME update should be automatic - bug 397554
      • cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
      • cvs up -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7_2
    • remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
      • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug 413178
    • restart buildbot
  • On production-1.9-master
    • remove the contents of /builds/updates/
    • remove private and public areas
      • rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-*
      • rm -rf /builds/tags/* - did not do this, plenty of space
      • in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/, remove all except the 3.x-candidates directory for the previous release
        • rm -rf /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2007*
        • FIXME should not be needed - bug 415970
  • kick off buildbot (run as cltbld):
buildbot sendchange --username=joduinn --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 RC1" release

Prestage

  • nothing to do

Tag

  • noticed that linux VMs/slaves are running one hour ahead of Mac, Win32 slaves. This doesnt make sense because we thought they were all ntp-enabled.

Source

Build

  • win32 failed unit tests
    • Config::General was not installed
      • installed it
    • /builds/logs did not exist
      • created it
    • this was an oversight when MozillaBuild was upgraded
  • mac failed repack
    • af was not tagged, so had to checkout a tagged locale so CVS would cache it
  • linux failed build
    • AliveTest could not run, X server was refusing connections
      • ran "xhost +"
        • FIXME slaves should come up usable on boot - bug 417887

Updates to Test Channel

  • had to add DisableCompleteJump to rc list and re-push AUS config
  • verify beta snippets versus betatest snippets
    • only URL (download vs. stage) and appv ("3 Beta 3" vs. "3 Beta 3rc3")
    • FIXME automate this in bug 409449
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20080207-Firefox-3.0b4/
find -type d -iregex '.*beta.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta/betatest/; system("diff -r -u $_ ../20080207-Firefox-3.0b4-test/$a");' 2>&1 | tee /tmp/beta.log
  • verify beta snippets versus releasetest snippets
    • no changes expected
    • FIXME automate this in bug 409449
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20080207-Firefox-3.0b4/
find -type d -iregex '.*beta.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta/releasetest/; system("diff -r -u $_ ../20080207-Firefox-3.0b4-test/$a");'
  • verify failed, PatcherConfig made beta like betatest not releasetest. Posted patch in bug 409880, recreated/repushed snippets
  • ensure that new test snippets are the same as old
    • no changes expected
diff -r 20080207-Firefox-3.0b4-test 20080208-Firefox-3.0b4-test
  • verify beta snippets versus betatest snippets
    • only URL (download vs. stage) and appv ("3 Beta 4" vs. "3 Beta 4rc1")

update Verify

Stage

Sign Installers

Done manually.

  • pull stage:/data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2/batch1/stage-signed/

using these installer-signing-instructions here

  • push signed bits back to same location on stage
  • complete stage-merged:
# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b4/
rsync -av batch1/mar/ stage-merged/
rsync -av batch1/stage-signed/ stage-merged/
  • Create MD5 and SHA1 checksum files
# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b4/stage-merged/
~/bin/checksum-files .
  • Fix permissions & ownership (on the two SUM files, and the detached sigs)
chown -R cltbld:firefox .
chmod 644 *SUMS

Update Bouncer

  • Manually add entries to download.mozilla.org

Final Verification

  • manually verified files under /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b4/stage-merged/ looked ok.
  • verified that filename problems from 3.b2 have been fixed. bug 409394

Push to mirrors

  • push the stage-merged directory to the releases area:
# on stage
rsync -av /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b4/stage-merged/ /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b4/

Updates to Beta Channel

  • on Mac build machines, run quick updateverify test for releastest channel
cd /builds/verify/firefox-3.0b4/updates
cat moz19-firefox-*.cfg > releasetest.cfg
sed -i.bak 's/betatest/releasetest/' releasetest.cfg
./verify.sh -t releasetest.cfg 2>&1 | tee releasetest.log
# upload result to build.m.o/logs

Should be all HTTP/200 OK results e.g.: 

grep 'HTTP' releasetest.log  | grep -v Found | grep -v 200
  • Ensure that releasetest channel contents match beta channel contents
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20080208-Firefox-3.0b4
find -type d -iregex '.*beta.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta/releasetest/; system("diff -r -u $_ ../20080208-Firefox-3.0b4-test/$a");'

No difs found - which is correct.

  • Once QA and Website gives formal "go"
# put snippets on beta
$ sudo su - cltbld
$ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
$ ~/bin/pushsnip 20080208-Firefox-3.0b4
  • on Mac build machines, run quick updateverify test for beta channel
cd /builds/verify/firefox-3.0b4/updates
cat moz19-firefox-*.cfg > beta.cfg
sed -i.bak 's/betatest/beta/' beta.cfg
./verify.sh -t beta.cfg 2>&1 | tee beta.log
# upload result to build.m.o/logs

Should be all HTTP/200 OK results e.g.: 

grep 'HTTP' releasetest.log  | grep -v Found | grep -v 200
