Notes

Build 1

Did you ship the L10n milestone(s) ???

Yes

Set reserved slaves

Reserve slaves (you need ~5 each of linux, linux64, win32 (w32), and macosx64 (moz2-darwin10)). Doing this 2-3 hours in advance should speed things up. e.g.:

[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves
5

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

set clobber for any master/mobilla-beta/any builder, but the config changes in bug 760389 mean this should be unnecessary
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, or tbirdbld and use thunderbird in path
version=14.0b7
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates

Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
Double land automation configs
Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_14_0b7_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
Updated and reconfigured the master
Dry run with release_sanity

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas -V 14.0b7 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001

start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
- the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"

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

XULRunner

python2.6 ~/signing-work/mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py --platform android

since the XUL build won't be used.

Going to Beta

NOTE: Skip to "Before Release Day" for beta releases

Run backupsnip

NOTE: Remember to do this at least 2 hours ahead of the expected "go to beta" email. details

Remember to ssh to aus3-staging using your short LDAP name and then run sudo su - ffxbld once on. If you intend to use screen, initiate your screen session while you are still yourself.

cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
time ~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-14.0b7-build1

Push to beta

Wait for "go" from release managers
For Firefox:

Publish (and record run time here): details

[ffxbld@dp-ausstage01 ~]$ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
[ffxbld@dp-ausstage01 staging]$ time ~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-14.0b7-build1

on completion, email r-d that VERSION updates are live on the beta channel

Build2 (only Fennec)

The L10n milestone did not add 2 locales in the multi-locale

bug 764300 – ko and pt-BR do not work on Firefox 14 beta 7.

Preparing to start Automation

set clobber for any masters & any builders
Double land automation configs
Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with FENNEC_14_0b7_{RELEASE,BUILD2}
Updated and reconfigured the master

cd /builds/buildbot/build1
source bin/activate
make update && make checkconfig && make reconfig

Dry run with release_sanity

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 14.0b7 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 2 \
    --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products fennec  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001

Triggered automation by running last command without "--dryrun"

Android Signing

Now run on signing1. Did

cd ~/signing-work/mozharness
hg pull -u && hg up -C
python2.6 ~/signing-work/mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py --platform android

since the XUL build won't be used.

Email rel-drivers

All signed builds available:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/14.0b7-candidates/build2/

Release day

Use this script and run it as ffxbld@stage (please push you changes prior to using it, and grab latest on stage via curl -O http://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/raw-file/tip/releases-related/push_fennec.sh)

Play Store

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

download the native multi apk
- (e.g. android/multi/fennec-14.0b7.multi.android-arm.apk)
visit https://market.android.com/publish
choose "Firefox Beta"
- select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
- choose the android 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 android apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
deactivate old android apk with Supported screens: small-large (You should not see the Error message anymore)
hit "Save"

Going to Beta

Push to beta

Downloaded 14.0b7 build 3 android multi, pushed to Google Play. Activated it and deactivated the older small-large apk.

I had to remove the previous 14.0b7 to push:

# edit push_fennec.sh and check into braindump
curl -O http://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/raw-file/tip/releases-related/push_fennec.sh
rm -rf /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/14.0b7/
sh push_fennec.sh
