Notes

RC1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M8_1

  • Make sure the new patcher config changes are used. patcherToolsRev should be UPDATE_PACKAGING_R3. snippets should have prettyVersion (3 Beta 5) as their appv. Patcher-created directory structure should use unpretty version (3.0b5).

Setup before starting:

  • 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
    • make sure /builds/buildbot/trunk-automation-master/master.cfg is updated, and comment out the schedulers for nightly builds (c['schedulers'].append(nightly_scheduler), c['schedulers'].append(depend_scheduler))
    • restart the 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
    • REMEMBER to use VNC when restarting mac slave
    • verify that both mac and linux have "xhost +" since last reboot
    • update tinderbox to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M8_1
      • FIXME update should be automatic - bug 397554
      • cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
      • cvs up -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M8_1
      • on win32, then copy to /e/fx19rel/. Then in /e/fx19rel/, copy post-mozilla-rel.pl to post-mozilla.pl
    • 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
  • af was tagged, but checked out a tagged locale so CVS would cache it anyway
    • cvs co -r FIREFOX_3_0b5_RELEASE l10n/de
  • kick off buildbot (run as cltbld):
buildbot sendchange --username=joduinn --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 RC1" release

Build

  • linux, mac produced without any human intervention
  • win32 failed out because of diskspace on win32 slave. Turns out some space being used by 1.9 nightlies caused this, so removing /e/fx19nit did the trick. Restarted win32 builds
  • Abort because of bug 425289. Respin declared.

RC2

Setup before starting: Mostly already done as part of prep for RC1.

  • 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 5 RC2" release

Build

  • linux, mac and unsigned win32 produced without any human intervention
  • nothing to do

Sign

  • Signing doc
  • Note: clear space on production-1.9-master so that later stage step does not run out of space

L10nVerify

  • Over culled on production-1.9-master, so l10n verify failed to pull some 3.0b4 files (twice). Fixed, then removed 3.0b4 candidates to make space for staging.

Generate Updates

  • Fast update generation is enabled. First time failed out because of bug 425462 but fixed. Fast update mode remains enabled and now trying again.

Publish Updates to Test Channel

  • automated - nothing to do

update Verify

  • mac verify failed on ar, ga-IE and he locales, because they are not shipped. ok to ignore these errors.
  • linux verify failed on ga-IE because it was not shipped. ok to ignore this error.
  • win32 verify failed on
    • ga-IE because it was not shipped. ok to ignore this error
    • binary diff problems, for example:
 FAIL: binary files found in diff
 FAIL: check_updates returned failure for WINNT_x86-msvc downloads/Firefox Setup 3.0 Beta 4.exe vs. downloads/firefox-3.0b5.ar.win32.installer.exe: 1

Publish Updates to Beta Channel

In case you need to cancel/abort updates, the quickest way to do this is [1]

  • While waiting for formal "go", backup existing beta channel not done yet
 # login to aus2-staging
 $ sudo su - cltbld
 # make sure using latest version of scripts
 $ cvs get -d bin mozilla/tools/release/bin/ 
   cvs checkout: Updating bin
 $ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
 # note the required parameter must match what will be used with pushsnip below. 
 $ ~/bin/backupsnip 20080308-Firefox-3.0b4
  • Once QA and Website gives formal "go" to put updates on beta channel not done yet
 # login to aus2-staging
 $ sudo su - cltbld
 # make sure using latest version of scripts
 $ cvs get -d bin mozilla/tools/release/bin/ 
   cvs checkout: Updating bin
 $ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
 $ ~/bin/pushsnip 20080308-Firefox-3.0b4
