Notes

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M6_3

Setup before starting:

• Switched buildslaves back to using production ssh keys, made sure all necessary hosts were accepted.
• Switched buildslaves' tinderbox-configs directory back to the main cvs repository ones.
• Checked out bootstrap configs to /builds/buildbot/trunk-automation-master/bootstrap-configs on production-trunk-automation. Symlinked bootstrap.cfg -> bootstrap-configs/fx-moz19-bootstrap.cfg.

• kick off buildbot (run as cltbld):

buildbot sendchange --username=bhearsum --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 RC1" release

• Unit tests failed, had to patch Stage.pm (bug 407351) and restart.

• production-trunk-automation's hard drive (/) would not mount rw, was ro.
  • Aravind took a look and fixed that. (bug 407796). Restarted from Source step.

Tag

• Completed OK but died because the last BuildStep was not updated for production (it was using staging-trunk-automation). Ran this manually and restarted with Tag commented out:

cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/l10n co -r FIREFOX_3_0b2_RELEASE l10n/be

Because of disk failures, we ran some extra sanity checks on the tag:

# check out Mozilla trunk
cvs -d cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk MOZ_CO_DATE='2007-12-10 11:15 PST' MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser checkout
# only version bump changes expected
# this is ok - "cvs diff: tag GECKO19b2_20071210_RELBRANCH is not in file .cvsignore"
cvs -q diff -u -r GECKO19b2_20071210_RELBRANCH > trunk_vs_relbranch.diff
# no changes expected
cvs -q diff -u -r GECKO19b2_20071210_RELBRANCH -r FIREFOX_3_0b2_RELEASE > release_vs_relbranch.diff
cvs -q diff -u -r GECKO19b2_20071210_RELBRANCH -r FIREFOX_3_0b2_RC1 > rc1_vs_relbranch.diff

# check out l10n
cvs -d cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/l10n co -D '2007-12-10 11:15 PST' l10n
cd l10n
cvs -q diff -u -r FIREFOX_3_0b2_RELEASE > release_vs_trunk.diff
cvs -q diff -u -r FIREFOX_3_0b2_RC1 > release_vs_rc1.diff

Source

• Failed setting a few permissions -- source tarball appears to have been transferred OK

rsync: failed to set permissions on "/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/.": Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: failed to set permissions on "/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.0b1-candidates/rc3": Operation not permitted (1)

rsync: failed to set permissions on "/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.0b1-candidates/rc3/unsigned/windows-xpi": Operation not permitted (1)

• fixed this one by doing this on production-trunk-automation:

chmod g-s /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(892) [sender=2.6.8]

Step Source died: ASSERT: SyncToStaging(): rsync failed

queueup: cannot create queue file ./qflBALmOFp014842, euid=500, fd=-1, fp=0x0: Read-only file system

• Investigating this failure still.

• Netapp monuted hard drive seemed to get mounted read-only, not sure why. Restarted production-trunk-automation

• Moved ~cltbld/trunk-automation to /builds/trunk-automation, adjusted buildbot.tac file to reflect new directory, restarted.

Build

• Repack on OSX failed because Apache wasn't running on production-trunk-automation.
  • Started Apache, comment out everything but 'Repack (execute)' and onwards in the 'Build' Builders and re-ran OS X manually. Linux and Win32 should be fine.
    • Apache has been set to start on boot on production-trunk-automation

• Build on win32 did not have WIN32_REDIST_DIR set, resulting in 407988. Landed patch in that bug and rebuilt.

• Tag, Source, Build steps commented out and process resumed.

• Mac had the wrong path to the ffxbld key, so uploadsymbols failed. rhelmer reran uploadsymbols and saved output to /builds/tinderbox/Fx-Mozilla1.9-Release/3.0b2rc1-symbols-rhelmer.log
  • It appears to have the right key now.

Sign

Bit again by bug 407962. Explicitly pulled MOZILLA_1_9a3_RELEASE from mozilla/tools/update-packaging to avoid the bug (checked out by sign-release.pl in checkouts/tools/update-tools).

L10nVerify

• gave some false positive reports for locales we did not ship (lt and ka); this is because the l10nverify area is reused, and some leftover testing files were there. 409430

Updates to Test Channel

• patches came out wrong due to use MOZILLA_1_9a8_RELEASE tools/update-packaging (patches contained both complete and partial data), backed down to MOZILLA_1_9a3_RELEASE and it worked ok.

• found typo in mac a2 config, fixed and regenerated snippets by hand:

# on production-trunk-automation
cd /builds/updates/firefox-3.0b2/
# moved old aus2 dir

update Verify

• updateverify config bumper assumes that the version in the release dir and the version in the filename are the same; this is not the same for win32 and mac for alphas and betas but is for linux e.g. (note "3.0 Beta 1" versus "3.0b1"):
  • /firefox/releases/3.0b1/mac/en-US/Firefox 3.0 Beta 1.dmg
  • /firefox/releases/3.0b1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.0b1.tar.bz2
  • bug 409394

• lt and ka locales were dropped, so updateverify configs had to be manually tweaked. 409434

• since updateverify does not ensure that the updates dir is removed, there was still a checkout on win32 from the test staging run. 409434

• updateverify crashed initially on win32; used workaround described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401327#c11. This surprised us, as bug#401608 is marked fixed. Retesting.

Stage

• retagged automation to pick up bug 407351
• moved /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2/batch1 to /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b1/batch1_missing_linux on production-trunk-automation and moved /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2 to /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2.bug407351 on stage.m.o
• reran Stage step

Sign Installers

Done manually.

• pull stage:/data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2/batch1/stage-signed/ to keymaster

using these installer-signing-instructions here

• push signed bits back to same location on stage
• complete stage-merged:

# on stage
cd /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2/
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-3.0b2/stage-merged/
~/bin/checksum-files .

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

chown -R cltbld:firefox .
chmod 644 *SUMS

Update Bouncer

done manually.

Final Verification

done manually on irc

Push to mirrors

• push the stage-merged directory to the releases area:

# on stage
rsync -av /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0b2/stage-merged/ /home/ftp/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b2/

Updates to Beta Channel

• on Mac, run quick updateverify test
  • FIXME automate me in bug 372765

cd /builds/verify/updates
cat moz19-firefox-*.cfg > releasetest.cfg
sed -i.bak 's/betatest/releasetest/' releasetest.cfg
./verify.sh -t releasetest.cfg 2>&1 | tee releasetest.log
# upload result to build.m.o/logs

• Beta URL was pointing to the FTP not download; was corrected in the post-automation version (still in /mofo).
  • regenerated, pushed as 20071218-Firefox-3.0b2
    • verified that 20071218-Firefox-3.0b2-test matches 20071218-Firefox-3.0b2-test
    • verified that only diff between 20071218-Firefox-3.0b2 and 20071217-Firefox-3.0b2 was the URL change
  • FIXME sync this version to public CVS when the public CVS patches to bootstrap land

• Ensure that releasetest channel contents match beta channel contents
  • FIXME should do this verification earlier; could be done when snippets are pushed to staging area

cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20071218-Firefox-3.0b2
find -type d -iregex '.*beta.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta/releasetest/; system("diff -r -u $_ ../20071218-Firefox-3.0b2-test/$a");' 2>&1 | tee ~/fx-3.0b2.diff

The only difference in ~/fx-3.0b2.diff should be "3.0b2rc1" versus "3.0b2". FIXME this is wrong ^ there should have been no diffs. disabled updates, generated 20071218.2-Firefox-3.0b2, pushed, enabled updates.

• Once QA and Website gives formal "go"

# put snippets on beta
$ sudo su - cltbld
$ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
$ ~/bin/pushsnip 20071218-Firefox-3.0b2

FIXME actually went live with 20071218.2-Firefox-3.0b2 as per above ^

• on Mac, run quick verify test
  • FIXME automate me

cd /builds/verify/updates
cat moz19-firefox-*.cfg > beta.cfg
sed -i.bak 's/betatest/beta/' beta.cfg
./verify.sh -t beta.cfg 2>&1 | tee beta.log
# upload result to build.m.o/logs
