Notes

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7_1

Setup before starting:

• used existing version bump bug to attached diff for bootstrap.cfg and master.cfg
  • restarted master
• ensure that machines have enough resources
  • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug needed
• On fx-mac-1.9-slave2, fx-win32-1.9-slave2, fx-linux-1.9-slave2
  • update tinderbox to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7_1
  • remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
    • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug needed
  • restart buildbot
• On production-1.9-master, remove private and public areas:
• remove the contents of /builds/updates/
  • FIXME need to do this on each RC or updates will fail - bug needed
  • rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-*
    • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug needed
  • rm -rf /builds/tags/* - did not do this, plenty of space
    • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug needed
  • in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/, remove all except the 3.x-candidates directory for the previous release
    • rm -rf /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2007*
      • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug needed

• kick off buildbot (run as cltbld):

buildbot sendchange --username=rhelmer --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 Beta 3 RC1" release

Prestage

• had to mkdir /home/cltbld/trunk-automation/prestage/build, not created automatically

Tag

• noticed that linux VMs/slaves are running one hour ahead of Mac, Win32 slaves. This doesnt make sense because we thought they were all ntp-enabled.

Source

• had to chmod g-s /home/ftp/ again, looks like it's coming from prestage step

Build

• win32 failed unit tests
  • Config::General was not installed
  • /builds/logs did not exist
