Notes

RC1

Bootstrap Tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M8

Setup before starting:

• Did a 'cvs up' in /builds/buildbot/Automation/bootstrap-configs
  • All files are now Up-to-date
• Did a 'cvs up' in /builds/buildbot/Automation/buildbot-configs
  • master.cfg is "Locally Modified" to contain passwords. Identical to repository version otherwise.
  • Ran 'buildbot reconfig'
• ensure that machines have enough resources
  • production-1.8-master
    • rsync -nav /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2.0.0.11-candidates/ stage.mozilla.org:/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2.0.0.11-candidates/
    • removed /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/ after comparing to staging like above
    • Did not remove /build/tags -- plenty of space on /builds
  • On bm-xserve05 remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
  • Ran 'cd /builds/updates && rm -rf firefox-2.0.0.12-test/ thunderbird-2.0.0.9/ firefox-2.0.0.10/' on production-prometheus-vm to free up some space.
  • Free space on production-1.8-master before starting: /builds - 33G, /data - 26G
  • Free space on bm-xserve05 before starting: / - 36G
  • Free space on production-prometheus-vm before starting: /builds - 29G
  • Free space on production-pacifica-vm before starting: C - 36.4G
• Turned off the nightly builders on production-1.8-master to make sure they don't interfere with the release. (We need to figure out how to avoid this in the future).

• Kicked off the automation:

buildbot sendchange --username=bhearsum --master=localhost:9989 -m"Firefox 2.0.0.13 RC1" release

Tag

No problems.

No problems.

L10nVerify

No problems.

Updates to Test Channels (betatest & releasetest)

• Updates died when trying to pull a build from stage-old.
  • Filed bug 422421 on getting http from stage-old fixed.
  • s/stage-old/stage/ in the bootstrap.cfg and restarted updates.
  • There was some other fall-out from this, had to blow away /builds/updates/firefox-2.0.0.13 and restart Updates.
• Rhelmer accidently interrupted updates, ran the following by hand:

ssh cltbld@production-prometheus-vm
cd /builds/updates/firefox-2.0.0.13/patcher
./patcher2.pl --create-patches --app=firefox --config=../config/moz18-branch-patcher2.cfg

update Verify

• Linux/Win32 passed
• Mac failed because 'ka' is in verify config when it shouldn't be. This was only caught since many old builds were removed from stage.m.o
