Notes

Build 1

Bootstrap Tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11

Setup before starting:

• Updated master.cfg, bootstrap.cfg. Retagged bootstrap.cfg.
• On all the slaves:
  • ran 'DISPLAY=:0 xhost +' to make sure linux AliveTest works.
  • remove /builds/verify/firefox-3.0.2, /builds/verify/firefox-3.0.3
  • verified we're using same version of tinderbox as before (RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M11), so nothing to do.
  • On the linux slave, removed:
    • /builds/updates/firefox-3.0.3
    • /builds/source/firefox-3.0.3
    • /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.3
  • On the mac slave, removed nothing, as there was loads of space.
• Space on slaves before starting:
  • fx-linux-1.9-slave2: 27G on /builds
  • fx-mac-1.9-slave2: 22G on /
  • fx-win32-1.9-slave2: 16.5G on d:, 2.5G on e: (disk heavy work is done on d, eg update_verify. build/repack is done on e, but mostly just overwrites existing data)

• Gulped, and kicked off automation:

#login to production-1.9-master as buildbot
#
buildbot sendchange --username=joduinn --master=localhost:9989 -m"Firefox 3.0.4build1 release" go

Tag

• No problems

Source

• No problems

Build & Repack

• linux, mac: No problems
• win32: slave ran out of space during repack:push.
  • Even though I'd verified that we had enough free space beforehand - and had more free space then we had when starting FF303. Still dont understand why.
  • restarted at just repack:execute, ran to completion just fine.

Sign

• Signing doc
• no problems.
• tweaked master.cfg, and did new sendchange to resume automation from this point.

$ buildbot sendchange --username=joduinn --master=localhost:9989 -m"Firefox 3.0.4build1 release after signing" go

L10nVerify

• Automated - no problems.

Generate Updates

• Automated - no problems.

Publish Updates to Test Channels (betatest & releasetest)

• Automated - no problems.

Update Verify

• linux - no problems.
• mac - expected failure on gu-IN for 3.0b1...3.0b5. Otherwise, no problems.
• win32 - still in progress.

Push to beta channel

Done in tandem with 2.0.0.18, see the 2.0.0.18 BuildNotes for details.

Sign Installers

Done manually using these installer-signing-instructions here

• complete stage-merged:

# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.4/
rsync -av batch1/mar/ stage-merged/
rsync -av batch1/stage-signed/ stage-merged/

• Create MD5 and SHA1 checksum files

# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0.4/stage-merged/
~/bin/checksum-files .

• Fix permissions & ownership (on the two SUM files, and the detached sigs)

chown -R cltbld:firefox .
chmod 644 *SUMS

• • FIXME: I noted that the permissions on the *SUMS files were correct before I ran the chmod above. Is this still needed?

Update Bouncer

• Done.
