Notes

Tracking bug: bug 789530

Release engineer: aki

Buildbot master: buildbot-master34

Build 1

• No l10n changesets for a chemspill
• reserved slaves

[cltbld@buildbot-master34 ~]$ echo "8" > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves 
[cltbld@buildbot-master34 ~]$ cat /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves
8

• locked w64-ix-slave{68..72}, mw32-ix-slave{03,04} to bm34, rebooted the 3 idle ones.
• release sanity: set l10n dashboard version to 15 since we didn't create a new milestone for 15.0.1.

PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u aki \
    -V 15.0.1 --branch comm-release --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py \
    --l10n-dashboard-version 15 \
    --products thunderbird --dryrun localhost:9001

Once I got the l10n dashboard right, there were no errors. Re-ran without --dryrun.

• rsync exclude

Landed revision 46969.

• Update verify broke on 10.0-real again. Relanded 086309643a86, retagged, respun broken update verify 6/6 's.
  • Landed followup fix for linux32 (previous patch only had the other 3 platforms), tagged, killed and re-kicked linux32 update verify 6/6.
  • Re-re-retagged with THUNDERBIRD_15_0_1_RELEASE_RUNTIME since these jobs use that instead of the original tags. Re-re-kicked update verify 6/6 jobs on all platforms
  • Ran green

• Reset slaves

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
echo 0 > reserved_slaves

Unlocked slaves in slavealloc.
