Notes About Releasing

Please update the Aurora Notes Template and the Release:Primer for future releases (bug fixes, changes to automation) as needed.

You will need to build a 14.0b5 build using the fennec mozilla-aurora config files, then a new build or respin (depending on code changes) of the 13.0b2 build3 android-xul build for tablets. Both will go to the market.

L10N changesets

  • 14.0bN will get Aurora changesets from this dashboard link. This link will change over time, so won't be useful for verifying later, but isn't dependent on a milestone being created per beta.
  • 13.0b2 build# spin# will have an empty l10n-changesets_mobile-beta.json

13.0b2 build 3 spin 5

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for mozilla-beta
  • Reserve slave on bm13
  • L10n changesets for 13.0b2 build3 spin1 will remain empty {}
  • Verify that nothing has changed in 13.0b2 land since the previous spin.

IF NO CODE HAS CHANGED

If no code has changed since the previous 13.0b2 build, we can just respin the previous build:

  • Create a build3-spin5 directory on stage, and softlink the build3 to it.
    • The spin# will increment instead of the build#.
    • For build3-spin5:
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/13.0b2-candidates
mkdir build3-spin5
rm build3
ln -s build3-spin5 build3

Build

Fennec

No problems.

Android Signing

No problems. 

# cltsign@signing1
cd signing-work
hg --cwd mozharness pull
hg --cwd mozharness up -C -r default
python26 mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py

Release Day

Publish Fennec to the Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

Push the files (for beta releases and release releases)
Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

The 14.0b5 build *must* be uploaded before the 13.0b2 build!

  • download 14.0b5 and 13.0b2 multi apk (e.g. [1] and [2])
  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the 14.0b5 multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
      • NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)
    • when it finishes uploading, verify the versionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
    • hit "Save"
  • Repeat with the 13.0b2 multi apk
    • when it finishes uploading, verify the versionCode is larger than the 14.0b5 versionCode.
  • activate new 14.0b5 and 13.0b2 apks (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old apks (You should not see the Error message anymore)
  • hit "Save"
  • If this is a beta 1, go to "Product Details" tab -> Recent Changes, change the url to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/{VERSION}beta/releasenotes/
    • and hit "Save"
