Build 1

Clean up previous releases build dirs, just for the slaves we used for 3.6b4 build1. Used cssh for linux/mac, RDP as Administrator on win32.

Build/Repack

slaves
Manual verification that all l10n builds are present:

# stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.6b4-candidates/build1
# each should be 74 = en-US + 73 locales, for desktop platforms
for p in linux-i686 mac unsigned/win32; do
 echo `ls $p | grep -v xpi | wc -l` $p
done

Removed en-US.xpi from the 3.6rc1-candidates/build1/ directory on stage
No problems

Socorro product data updates

Submitted a crash using linux build and Crash Me Now extension. Poked joduinn to enable 3.6 and 3.6pre versions.

FIXME - bug 538457 need to exclude the tests files when downloading so that they don't end up in MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS, or get pgp sigs
Otherwise no problems

Update Verify

Linux: failed
- no complete update found for https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/Firefox/3.6b5/20091204132459/Linux_x86-gcc3/eo/betatest/update.xml?force=1
- seems spurious, it's available when I check by hand
Mac: No problems
Win32: failed

PREPARE PATCH AccessibleMarshal.dll
CRC check failed
LoadSourceFile failed
failed: 4
calling QuitProgressUI
FAIL: update status was not succeeded: failed: 4
FAIL: check_updates returned failure for WINNT_x86-msvc downloads/Firefox Setup 3.6 Beta 5.exe vs. downloads/Firefox Setup 3.6 RC 1.exe: 1

- this is expected due to a rebasing change that happened in 3.6b5. See the Update Verify notes for 3.6b5 for details.
- there are about 600K users on 3.6b5 Win, so in order to prevent the unnecessary downloading of partials, we made the snippets for partials point to the complete updates. Here's the script I used to pull the switch (~/coop/completes_as_partials.bash), run from /opt/aus2/incoming/3/Firefox/3.6b5/WINNT_x86-msvc/20091204143806 on aus2-staging:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `find . -name complete.txt -print`; do
  DIR=`dirname ${i}`
  # only make a new partial when we have an existing partial
  if [ -f ${DIR}/partial.txt ]; then
    mv ${DIR}/partial.txt ${DIR}/partial.txt.orig
    cp ${i} ${DIR}/partial.txt
    perl -i.old -pe 's/type=complete/type=partial/' ${DIR}/partial.txt 
  fi
done

- win32 update verify was green afterward. We expect all of these differences:

Only in source/bin: .autoreg
diff -r source/bin/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js target/bin/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
2c2
< pref("app.update.channel", "beta");
---
> pref("app.update.channel", "release");
Files source/bin/freebl3.chk and target/bin/freebl3.chk differ
Files source/bin/nssdbm3.chk and target/bin/nssdbm3.chk differ
Only in source/bin: removed-files
Files source/bin/softokn3.chk and target/bin/softokn3.chk differ

- I also made a copy of the original beta/release snippets and updated those snippets too:

# cltbld@aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
cp -r 20100105-Firefox-3.6rc1 20100105-Firefox-3.6rc1-completes-only-for-win32
cd 20100105-Firefox-3.6rc1-completes-only-for-win32/Firefox/3.6b5/WINNT_x86-msvc/20091204143806/
bash ~/coop/completes_as_partials.bash

Update Bouncer

3 entries each for linux, macosx, wince, and 4 types of solaris. No partials for win32 partial so only two entries for that.

Final checks before push

cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6rc1-candidates/build1/
find . ! -user ffxbld
find . ! -group firefox
find . -type f ! -perm 644
find . -mindepth 1 -type d ! -perm 755 ! -name 'contrib*'
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -perm 2775  -name 'contrib*'

Push to mirrors

Need to exclude from the rsync:

*.tests.tar.bz2 which are used for talos and unit test but not shipped (new this time)
win32 partials because they're bogus (see updates above)
WinCE files because QA is still checking those

# ffxbld@stage
rsync -av --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.txt --exclude=*unsigned* \
 --exclude=*.crashreporter-symbols.zip --exclude=*.tests.tar.bz2* \
 --exclude=update/win32/*/*.partial.mar \
 --exclude=wince-arm/ --exclude=update/wince-arm/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6rc1-candidates/build1/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc1/

Push WinCE files after QA signoff

# ffxbld@stage
rsync -av --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.txt --exclude=*unsigned* \
 --exclude=*.crashreporter-symbols.zip --exclude=*.tests.tar.bz2* \
 --exclude=update/win32/*/*.partial.mar \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6rc1-candidates/build1/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc1/

Final Verification

Run at 17:30 PDT on day before "release". Got 4 errors from voxcdn out of ~950 requests to them. Passed information on to reed.

Release

No symlink until final

XULRunner build

Builds are forced manually, using revision of FIREFOX_3_6rc1_RELEASE, name and reason. When they complete

# xrbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/
mkdir -p 1.9.2rc1-candidates/build1/
mv -v latest-mozilla-1.9.2/*-1.9.2.* 1.9.2rc1-candidates/build1/

Contact mfinkle and dtownsend for smoketest QA. After go from them:

# cltbld@stage
VERSION=1.9.2rc1
FX_VERSION=3.6rc1
BUILD=1

mkdir -p ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-unsigned/{runtimes,source,sdk}
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-unsigned
rsync -av --exclude=*sdk* --exclude=*info* \
  /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/nightly/${VERSION}-candidates/build${BUILD}/ runtimes/
rsync -av --include=*sdk* --exclude=* \
  /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/nightly/${VERSION}-candidates/build${BUILD}/ sdk/
cp -pv /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${FX_VERSION}/source/firefox-${FX_VERSION}.source.tar.bz2 \
  source/xulrunner-${VERSION}.source.tar.bz2
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1
rsync -av stage-unsigned/ stage-signed/

Then create detached signatures per usual process (with PRODUCT=xulrunner, VERSION=1.9.2rc1, don't need BUILD, TAG, or KEYDIR), skip the win32 signing section, do pgp, verify and upload. Back on stage:

cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1/stage-signed
cp /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${FX_VERSION}/KEY .
~/bin/checksum-files .
chown -R cltbld:xulrunner .
find . -type f -exec chmod -v 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod -v 755 {} \;
cd ~/xulrunner-${VERSION}/batch1
rsync -nav stage-signed/* /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/releases/${VERSION}/

If all is fine then

rsync -av stage-signed/* /home/ftp/pub/xulrunner/releases/${VERSION}/

(Mirror updating can take a bit, 10-15 mins this time)
