Notes

Build 1

Did you ship the L10n milestone ???

Yes

Set reserved slaves

  • Reserve slaves (you need ~6 each of linux, linux64, win32 (w32), and macosx64 (bld-r5-lion)). 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
6

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • aki created l10n milestones
  • didn't do a clobber as we always clobber now, and armenzg did an accidental one yesterday
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage, or tbirdbld and use thunderbird in path
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
  • moved 6 mw32-ix and 6 bld-lion-r5 over to bm13
  • Updated l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Double landed automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_14_0b8_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • update and reconfigure the master
  • test run the automation
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas -V 14.0b8 --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
  • no problems found so started the automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
    • the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"

Unittests / Talos

details

  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

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.
