Notes

Build 1

Syncing repos

(eg: mozilla-beta -> mozilla-release for new Firefox releases)

Diff mozconfigs

If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.

Preparing to start Automation

  • Set clobbers for the appropriate masters
  • Reserve slaves
  • created symlink (see bug 725839):
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
ln -s ../candidates/11.0b5-candidates 11.0b5-candidates
  • Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Land automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags
  • merged and reconfig-ed all masters
  • start automation
cd master
. ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u coop -p firefox,fennec \
 -V 11.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
 --dryrun  localhost:9001 2>&1 | tee release_sanity_11.0b5.out

Same errors hit as for 11.0b4. Ran release_sanity.py with -b flag to skip errors. See ERROR output section below for details 

cd master
. ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u coop -p firefox,fennec \
 -V 11.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
 -b  localhost:9001 2>&1 | tee release_sanity_11.0b5.out

ERROR output

Identical (modulo changesets) to the ERRORS armenzg hit with 11.0b4 (bug 729516 and bug 725300)

  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

Android Signing

Instructions in MobileSigning

Now run on signing1.

L10N verify

l10n_verify for win32 kept running out of space on moz2-darwin10-slave26. I went in and cleared out some space by hand. Will file a bug to bump the space req.

Checksums

Updates

Update verify

Reset reserved slaves

This is also a good time to QUIT SIGNCODE on keymaster if you've still got it running.

Check permissions / AV scan

No problems.

Going to Beta

Run backupsnip

NOTE: Remember to do this at least an hour ahead of the expected "go to beta" email.

Android Market

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

  • download multi apk (e.g. multi/fennec-11.0b5.multi.android-arm.apk)
  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the 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 VersionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
    • hit "Save"
  • activate new apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old apk (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"

Done.
