Notes

RC1

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
• compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes
• 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
  • rhelmer found we're setting it right here! http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/buildbot-configs/automation/production-1.9/master.cfg#102

Build

• win32 failed unit tests
  • Config::General was not installed
    • installed it
  • /builds/logs did not exist
    • created it
  • not sure how we hit these, was slave rebuilt since 3.0b2?!

• mac failed repack
  • af was not tagged, so had to checkout a tagged locale so CVS would cache it
    • FIXME should just build all locales, link to existing bug

• linux failed build
  • AliveTest could not run, X server was refusing connections
    • ran "xhost +"

Signing doc

• Build declared rc1 broken because of missed updates to mozconfig files as part of bug #407794. Manually bringing release and nightly mozconfig files back in sync, and starting rc2.
