Notes

Using production-master.b.m.o.

Build 1

• Cleaned up slaves on production-master using release clobberer

• prepared automation config patch - minus changeset
• landed automation config
• reconfig'd master
• Tagged build/{buildbot-configs,buildbotcustom,tools} with FIREFOX_3_6rc2_RELEASE
• Closed the mozilla-1.9.2 tree
• Sendchange:

   buildbot sendchange --username=catlee --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -m "Firefox 3.6rc2build1" go

Tag

• No problems
• Reopened Firefox3.6 tree

Source

• No problems

Build/Repack

• Linux eo locale failed to upload bug 540117

• Forced:

 echo "eo linux" > my-locales
 python force_release_l10n.py -m http://localhost:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_6rc2_RELEASE -v -s my-locales -n catlee

• Manual verification that all l10n builds are present:

# stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.6rc2-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

Socorro product data updates

Probably nothing to do here as 3.6 will be enabled from RC1.

Sign

Forgot to wait for eo build to finish, so had to grab it and then re-generate checksums.

postsign completed successfully

L10N Verify

• No problems

Generate updates & push betatest snippets

• No problems

WinCE update and snippet generation

• slave: moz2-linux-slave24 (same slave as the automated run)
• update config, get review, land
• Generate the snippets

cd /builds/slave/updates/build
# move the previous run aside
mv temp temp.b1
# get custom config
cd patcher-configs
cvs up moz192-branch-patcher2-wince.cfg

Update Verify

update_verify failed on all 3 platforms for the 3.6rc1 -> 3.6rc2 test.

changed oldAppVersion to '3.6' in release-firefox-1.9.2.py and kicked update_verify...then aborted those runs to:

update moz192-firefox-$platform.cfg configs. kicked update_verify again.

Update Bouncer

3 entries each for linux, macosx, wince, and win32. Fun!

Final checks before push

cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6rc2-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
• 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=wince-arm/ --exclude=update/wince-arm/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6rc2-candidates/build1/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/

• 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/3.6rc2-candidates/build1/ \
 /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/

Final Verification

• forced build on waterfall
• detected problems at www.mirrorservice.org, disabled mirror and filed bug 540326

XULRunner build

Builds were forced manually, using revision of FIREFOX_3_6rc2_RELEASE, name and reason. When they're complete

# xrbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/
