Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

  • Set clobbers for the buildbot-master08 any builder any release
  • Reserve slaves
 echo 8 > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves_bm08-build1
  • Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags
  • release_sanity:
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u catlee -pfirefox,fennec -V 10.0b1 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --dryrun localhost:9001
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py", line 394, in <module>
    if not verify_l10n_dashboard(releaseConfig['l10nRevisionFile']):
  File "../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py", line 238, in verify_l10n_dashboard
    releaseConfig['productName']),
  File "/builds/buildbot/build1/tools/lib/python/release/versions.py", line 22, in getL10nDashboardVersion
    if parsed.group(1) and parsed.group(1).startswith('b'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Landed bug 712753 and re-ran. All tests passed.

  • update and reconfigure the master
  • start automation
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u catlee -pfirefox,fennec -V 10.0b1 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py localhost:9001
  • reconfigure other masters (or ask the buildduty person to do this) if you have done a merge (and not double-land) to production

Firefox repacks

win32 repacks didn't fire, most likely because of db issues at the time. kicked them off with manhole: 

>> master.scheduler_manager
<buildbot.schedulers.manager.SchedulerManager instance at 0x22ce9d88>
>>> for s in list(master.scheduler_manager):
...     if s.name == 'release-mozilla-beta-win32_repack':
...         break
... 
>>> s
<buildbot.schedulers.triggerable.Triggerable instance at 0x229ffb00>
>>> s.name
'release-mozilla-beta-win32_repack'
>>> builder = status.getBuilder('release-mozilla-beta-win32_build')
>>> build = builder.getBuild(77)
>>> ss = build.getSourceStamp()
>>> build.getProperty('got_revision')
'c130e43aa4b5'
>>> ss = ss.getAbsoluteSourceStamp('c130e43aa4b5')
>>> ss.branch
u'releases/mozilla-beta'
>>> ss.changes[0].properties
{'products': 'firefox,fennec', 'script_repo_revision': 'FIREFOX_10_0b1_RELEASE'}
>>> from buildbot.process.properties import Properties
>>> props_to_set = Properties()
>>> for p in 'buildid', 'builduid':
...     props_to_set.setProperty(p, build.getProperty(p), "%s (in triggering build)" % build.getProperties().getPropertySource(p))
... 
>>> props_to_set
{'buildid': '20111221135037', 'builduid': u'2cad05cf7f4f442e966f6a285c88bdda'}
>>> props_to_set.asList()

Unittests / Talos

  1. Look to see that they ran
  2. Document any oranges (per platform) for unittests - if possible, try to confirm it's known/random
  3. Make sure there's no red/failures that we need to have a dev look at
