Notes

RC1

Bootstrap Tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M8_1

Setup before starting:

  • Bump bootstrap.cfg & master.cfg in bug, get review, land
  • 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.
    • 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).
    • update mozilla1.8 tinderbox to say "no nightlies right now"
    • Ran 'buildbot reconfig'
  • On production-1.8-master, make sure updates from previous release are present. Today, we verified the contents in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2.0.0.13-candidates/rc1.
  • update /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox to the Bootstrap tag (need to revert this before restarting nightlies)
  • ensure that machines have enough resources
    • production-1.8-master
      • removed (but leave the dirs so we don't have to set them up with the right perms again)
        • /data/cltbld/thunderbird-2.0.0.13/
        • /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/nightly/*candidates
        • /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2008-*
        • /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2008/03/*
        • /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2008/04/*
      • Did not remove /build/tags -- plenty of space on /builds
    • On bm-xserve05 remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
    • On production-prometheus-vm, checked /builds/updates for really old releases
    • Free space on production-1.8-master before starting: /builds - 26G, /data - 26G
    • Free space on bm-xserve05 before starting: / - 36G
    • Free space on production-prometheus-vm before starting: /builds - 28G
    • Free space on production-pacifica-vm before starting: C - 36G
  • Kicked off the automation:
buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9989 -m"Firefox 2.0.0.14 RC1" release

Sign

  • Signing doc
  • Note: clear space on production-1.8-master so that later stage step does not run out of space - wasn't required, had nearly 8GB free after Stage (started with 28GB free on /data)
  • slave on production-1.8-master had dropped, killing the first sign step as it waited for the signing log
  • Some partitions on the master had gone read-only (bug 407796) and a simple reboot left the buildbot master unable to start. Ran fsck on each partition and that resolved it. Editing master.cfg to start doing work at stage

  • backupsnip took longer than the default timeout of 1 hour for a Shell() call, and got killed. Reached into the slave to add a 7200 second timeout to the call, modified master.cfg to make Push the first (uncommented) step of the updateFactory, reconfig'd the master and sent a change
  • worked fine, 37 minutes to backup
