Build 1

Done on pm01

  • No clobberer necessary because this is the first 0.8.0 release on this branch.
  • Landed configs
  • tagged buildbot-configs (production branch), buildbotcustom (production-0.8 branch), and tools (default branch) with FIREFOX_4_0b8_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE
  • updated /tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom, /builds/buildbot/configs, and /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools to latest
  • reconfiged master
  • Left tree open, 0.8.0 automation doesn't require that it closes
  • kicked off automation with:
PYTHONPATH=/builds/buildbot/builder_master1:/builds/buildbot/builder_master1/tools/lib/python python /builds/buildbot/builder_master1/tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail -V 4.0b8 --branch mozilla-central --build-number 1 --dryrun localhost:9010

Setup

Tag

The first sendchage was without script_repo_revision:FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE set, and failed in the beginning. The second one sent by release_sanity.py worked fine.

No problems

Build/Repack

Failed l10n repacks: en-ZA, nso, pt-BR

These locales had missing files and compare-locales doesn't handle this case.

Filed bug 619258


  • clobbered all slaves used for repacks (all chunks, all platforms)
  • removed all locales except of en-US from ftp (installers+complete mars)
  • landed the patch and tagged the revision with FIREFOX_4_0b8_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE
  • to make sure if the patch works, rebuilt 2nd (failed previously) chunk for linux.
  • win32 repacks didn't work. Landed patch

Later, we noticed that "ja" was missing from 64-bit Linux and "ja-JP-mac" was missing from 64-bit Mac. To fix, did the following manually on moz2-linux64-slave01: 

export   HG_SHARE_BASE_DIR=/builds/hg-shared
export   BUILDBOTCUSTOM=http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom
export   BUILDBOT_CONFIGS=http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs
export   CC=/tools/gcc/bin/gcc
export   CXX=/tools/gcc/bin/g++
export   PROPERTIES_FILE=buildprops.json
cd /builds/slave/rel-cen-lnx64-rpk-1/build
/tools/python/bin/python /builds/slave/rel-cen-lnx64-rpk-1/build/scripts/scripts/l10n/create-release-repacks.py -c mozilla/production_config.py -r mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-central.py -b http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs -t FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE -p linux64 -l ja

And the following on moz2-darwin10-slave13: 

export   BUILDBOTCUSTOM=http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom
export   BUILDBOT_CONFIGS=http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs
export   CC=/tools/gcc/bin/gcc
export   CXX=/tools/gcc/bin/g++
export   PROPERTIES_FILE=buildprops.json
cd /builds/slave/rel-cen-osx64-rpk-2/build
/tools/python/bin/python /builds/slave/rel-cen-osx64-rpk-2/build/scripts/scripts/l10n/create-release-repacks.py -c mozilla/production_config.py -r mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-central.py -b http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs -t FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE -p macosx64 -l ja-JP-mac

Filed bug 619522 on the issue.

Unittests

Results

Signing

To speed up signing, ran the following prior to all repacks being completed: 

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=4.0b8
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_4_0b8_RELEASE
REPO='mozilla-central'
EMAIL=rail@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
cd ~/hg-tools
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}
mkdir ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
make df verify-gpg-passphrase setup verify-signcode-passphrase PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
# download target run multiple times to get things as they complete
make download PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1

Once all the l10n and partner repacks finished, ran the following in the same window to do the signing: 

# Need to download one more time to make sure we've got everything
make download PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
make stubs sign2 stage verify verify-sigs fake-upload PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
  • verify-asc (last step of verify, before fake-upload) failed due to 3 *.checksum files:
./linux-i686/en-US/firefox-4.0b8.checksums
./linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-4.0b8.checksums
./mac64/en-US/Firefox 4.0 Beta 8.checksums
  • removed the files manually and rerun fake-upload
  • filed bug 619572 with a patch

Finally: 

make postsign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL}

Got "Signature Verification Succeeded" mail later.
