Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

  • Set clobbers for any master, mozilla-beta, and any builder
  • Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1 
8
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/11.0b7-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/11.0b7-candidates 11.0b7-candidates
  • hit 'Ship it' on 'Firefox 11 Beta Build 7' milestone and updated l10n changesets for desktop
  • Double landed automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags.
hg tag FIREFOX_11_0b7_RELEASE FIREFOX_11_0b7_BUILD1
  • update and reconfigure the master
  • start automation (NB: normally have Fennec in here too, see 11.0b6 notes)
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas \
 -pfirefox -V 11.0b7 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py   --dryrun localhost:9001

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

L10N verify

Win32 failed on moz2-darwin10-slave25 when comparing locales to en-US for 11.0b7 builds 

command timed out: 1200 seconds without output, attempting to kill

Retried and it was green on another slave, so moz2-darwin10-slave25 must be slower or in a bad state from previous jobs.

No problems for other 3 platforms.
