=== E-mail Metrics ===
=== E-mail Metrics ===
Use the address "metrics-alerts < AT > mozilla < PERIOD > org"
Use the address "metrics-alerts < AT > mozilla < PERIOD > org"


For 3.6.25 you would send
    Firefox,firefox,firefox,13.0b3,13.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.25,3.6
    Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,13.0b3,13.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.26pre,3.6
 
For non-3.6 releases, we need to include Fennec in the email if we build Fennec.
 
For 9.0b2 it would be
Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0b2,9.0
Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0b2,9.0
 
And for 9.0 final it's
Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0,9.0
Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0,9.0
 
ESRs look like this:
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3,10.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3esr,10.0
 
=== E-mail mirrors@mozilla.org ===
Not necessary for rapid release betas, files only go as far as the 'internal mirrors'.
 
Coordinate yourself with the person creating the ESR and the latest release which normally go out at the same time.
 
They want to know approximately what time push to external mirrors will occur.  Ideally this is a 24hr notice to them, with the estimated time.
<pre>
Subject: Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] coming to mirrors on {DATE}
Body:
We're planning on pushing our Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] release(s) to mirrors 24 hours before {DATE}.
# If this is a chemspill, please mention that in the email as it will mean pinging
# for CDN to be enabled when the push to internal mirrors happens
 
If you believe these releases or these dates will cause any problems,
please notify release at mozilla.com. If you have any problems with mirror
status/weights/etc, please notify mirror-submissions at mozilla.org.
</pre>
 
=== Edit rsync exclude files ===
Edit /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude on stage so that it excludes the current release. This prevents external mirrors from picking up the new release prematurely.
 
For rapid release betas, this is not necessary as there's already an exclude that matches beta releases.

Major update generation is not kicked off automatically. You should only create them once the final builds for the "latest" build are ready.
For instance, the 3.6.26 builds got created a week before the 10.0 release but the "final" 10.0 builds were not created after few days.

  • bug 753053 - missing symlinks on build master for l10n configs
  • bug 753226 - release-sanity.py doesn't validate non-optional arguments
  • bug 743304 - pre-existing partial mars signing failed due to py26/py27 differences, delaying win32 builds, so QA opened bug 753352 to check on status

Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
  • Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1 
8
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
  • Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • double-landed automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags. (details)
 hg tag -f {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_13_0b3_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • updated and reconfigure the master via fabric
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py --dryrun \
    -u hwine -V 13.0b3 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
    --products firefox,fennec localhost:9001
  • start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
    • the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"

automation failure on bld-centos6-hp-* hosts bug 753053, so manually pushed.

Had to reconfig master in middle of run for bug 753300, so uptake monitoring broke. Manually sent "ready for releasetest" emails.

Final verification

Record receipt of "completed_final_verification" emails (1 per platform)

Going to Beta

Run backupsnip

NOTE: Remember to do this at least 2 hours ahead of the expected "go to beta" email. details 

 $ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
 $ time ~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-13.0b3-build1

Done in 9 minutes

Wait for "go" from release managers
For Firefox:

  • Publish (and record run time here): details
  • on completion, email r-d that VERSION updates are live on the beta channel

pushsnip ran in 7m21.799s; email sent to r-d

For Android: no android this release

Wait for confirmation from QA that each of the above releases is okay, then close the tracking ticket.
