Notes

Build 1

Setup

  • Marked "Any master", "mozilla-beta", "Any builder" for a clobber
  • About an hour ahead of the expected "go", set reserved_slaves to 6:
[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/builder_master
[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ echo 6 > reserved_slaves_pm03
  • Hit "ship it" button on "Firefox 5 Beta Build 4" (https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/milestones)
  • Landed configs, merged configs & custom to production.
  • Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, and tools with FIREFOX_5_0b4_RELEASE and FIREFOX_5_0b4_BUILD1
  • Update pm03 checkouts & reconfiged
  • Ran release_sanity dry run with:
PYTHONPATH=.:tools/lib/python/ python tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 5.0b4 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --dryrun localhost:9010
  • And then to start the release:
PYTHONPATH=.:tools/lib/python/ python tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 5.0b4 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py localhost:9010

Tag

No problems.

Start Autosign

Once mozilla-beta was tagged, on keymaster, started signcodepwd.exe, opened a cygwin terminal and run the following: 

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=5.0b4
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_5_0b4_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-beta'
EMAIL=release@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
RELCONFIG=mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py

cd ${HOME}/hg-tools/
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}

mkdir -p ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}/lib/python
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
rsync -av ~/hg-tools/lib/python/ ./lib/python/
make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG}

Build/Repack

  • Linux: No problems
  • Linux64: No problems
  • Windows: No problems
  • Mac: No problems

Reset reserved_slaves

[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/builder_master
[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ echo 0 > reserved_slaves_pm03

Signing

No problems. Closed signcodepwd.exe after signing finished. Got "signature verification succeeded" mail a few hours later.

L10n Verify

A few legitimate looking string changes.

Updates (5.0b[1-3] -> 5.0b4)

No problems -- including with the update verify config bump.

Update verify

All green. Manually looked at logs 1/10 and 10/10 for each platform - no differences between 5.0b3+MAR and 5.0b4 in any of them.

Updates (4.0many -> 5.0b4)

Manually bumped patcher config and update verify config. Bumped FIREFOX_4_0_1_RELEASE tag on buildbot-configs, FIREFOX_4_0_1_{BUILD1,RELEASE}_RUNTIME on tools.

Generation was done on mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave13, using the UPDATE_PACKAGING_R14 tag, and re-using the updates directory from the 5.0b[12] -> 5.0b3 updates run, to save time & energy. 

cd /builds/slave/rel-beta-updates/build/patcher-configs
cvs up

perl patcher2.pl --download --app=firefox --brand=Firefox --config=patcher-configs/moz20-branch-major-update-patcher2.cfg

cd temp/firefox
ln -s 5.0b4 4.0.1-5.0b4
cd ../..

perl patcher2.pl --create-patches --partial-patchlist-file=patchlist.cfg --app=firefox --brand=Firefox --config=patcher-configs/moz20-branch-major-update-patcher2.cfg

# remove partials for 4.0.1

Update Verify

To force all of the verify builders, used the following script (warning: not OS X compatible): 

for p in linux linux64 macosx64 win32; do
  for i in `seq 1 10`; do
    curl "http://production-master01.build.mozilla.org:8010/builders/release-mozilla-2.0-${p}_major_update_verify_${i}%2F10/force" >/dev/null
  done
done

Differences in all platforms: 

diff -r source/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js target/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
1,2c1,2
< //@line 2 "/builds/slave/rel-2.0-lnx-bld/build/browser/app/profile/channel-prefs.js"
< pref("app.update.channel", "release");
---
> //@line 2 "/builds/slave/rel-beta-lnx-bld/build/browser/app/profile/channel-prefs.js"
> pref("app.update.channel", "beta");
WARN: non-binary files found in diff

Locale specific differences:

  • en-ZA: answers.xml, creativecommons.xml
  • ro: creativecommons.xml

Which all look like legitimate search engine changes.

And platform specific differences,:

  • Mac:
Only in source/Firefox.app: force_plist_reload

Which is OK because bug 386760 removed that file in 5.0.
Why did de, fy-NL, el, en-US, kk, nso, and sq not have this line?

  • Windows:
Only in source/bin: D3DCompiler_42.dll
Only in source/bin: d3dx9_42.dll

Which is OK because these files were replaced with _43 versions when bug 648804 landed.

Channel switching snippets

# cltbld@aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
mkdir -p Firefox-5.0b4-build1-channel-switching/Firefox/
rsync -a Firefox-5.0b4-build1-4.0.1-build1/Firefox/4.0.1 Firefox-5.0b4-build1-channel-switching/Firefox/
cd Firefox-5.0b4-build1-channel-switching/Firefox/
mv 4.0.1 5.0
for d in 5.0/*; do 
  mv -v $d/* $d/30000000000000
done

Permissions check and A/V Scan

No permissions problems, A/V scan found no viruses.

A/V Notification

Mail got stuck in moderation, like previous Betas. No real problems, but filed bug 662262 on whitelisting mail from masters.

DID NOT RELEASE

We decided not to release this because we'd rather wait for 5.0b5.
