Notes

Build 1

Diff mozconfigs

From a mozilla-release checkout, ran:

for p in linux32 linux64 macosx-universal win32; do diff -Naur {,../mozilla-beta/}browser/config/mozconfigs/$p/release; done

(note: mozilla-beta had not been updated to 14.0 code yet.)

No differences, nothing to do here.

Preparing to start Automation

• Clobbered "any master", "mozilla-release", "any builder"
• Set reserved_slaves to 8
• Created candidates directory:

# ffxbld@stage, or tbirdbld and use thunderbird in path
version=13.0
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates

• Landed update release config, l10n-changesets
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, and tools with FIREFOX_13_0_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• Updated and reconfiged buildbot-master12
  • update bailed when trying to update the master json with:

(python buildbot-configs/update-master-json.py tools/buildfarm/maintenance/production-masters.json master/master_config.json)
master not found in tools/buildfarm/maintenance/production-masters.json

• • Reconfig got stuck because moz2-darwin10-slave53 fell offline. Fixed by following these instructions.
• Ran release sanity:

source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \

 -V 13.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \
 --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=13 --dryrun localhost:9001

• • Complained about mn and sw because of the dashboard being wrong.
• Kicked off the release:

PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \

 -V 13.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \
 --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=13 --bypass-l10n-check localhost:9001

• • Used --bypass-l10n-check to ignore l10n revision problems.
