Notes

We've changed the naming scheme in bug 428063, so this sheet will track

• 3.0 RC1 build 1
• 3.0 RC1 build 2

etc until we publish 3.0 RC1 to the world (see the Tags section above for matching changes). We'll have a extra pages for the RC2 and RC3 releases as we get to them.

Build 1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1

Setup before starting:

• compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes
  • One off for the first build: change update channel from beta to release in the three mozconfigs for en-US
• updated the bootstrap tag in master.cfg, and landed after review. Merged the change onto production-1.9-master, commented out the dep builders and reconfig'd the master
• tagged mozilla/tools/tinderbox with RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1
• On fx-mac-1.9-slave2, fx-win32-1.9-slave2, fx-linux-1.9-slave2
  • REMEMBER to use VNC when restarting mac slave
  • verify that both mac and linux have "xhost +" since last reboot
  • remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
    • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug 413178
  • update tinderbox to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9
    • FIXME update should be automatic - bug 397554
    • on linux & mac
      • cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
      • cvs up -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1
    • on win32

cd /e/builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
cvs up -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1
for dir in fx19rel fx19l10nrel xr19rel; do 
  cd /e/$dir; 
  for f in `ls *.pl *.html INSTALL README | grep -v tinder-config.pl`; do 
    cp -pv /e/builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox/$f .;
  done
  cp -pv post-mozilla-rel.pl post-mozilla.pl
done

• on fx-linux-1.9-slave2, cvs up in /data/cltbld/bin
• On production-1.9-master (last time we need to do this, bug 415970 means we don't use the master as a file server any more)
  • remove the contents of /builds/updates/
  • remove private and public areas
    • rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-*
    • in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/, remove all except the 3.x-candidates directory for the previous release

Build 2

If this is required:

• bump the build parameter and timestamps in bootstrap.cfg, get review & land
• Look at disk space usage on fx-linux-1.9-slave2, should clean up
  • /builds/updates
  • /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0rc1
  • possibly /builds/tags (would be good to hang on to this)
  • possibly /builds/source
