Notes

We've changed the naming scheme (bug 428063) so this sheet will track

• 3.0 RC2 build 1
• 3.0 RC2 build 2

etc until we publish 3.0 RC2 to the world (see the Tags section above for matching changes). We'll have a extra pages for RC3 and so on if they're required.

Build 1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1

NB: Italicized items were not required for this build (reason given for each).

Setup before starting:

• compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes - none this time
• 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 - no changes
• tagged mozilla/tools/tinderbox with RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1 - we don't need the one change (bug 291167)
• On fx-mac-1.9-slave2, fx-win32-1.9-slave2, fx-linux-1.9-slave2
  • restart linux and windows VMs to sort out any glitches from netapp problems
  • remember to use VNC if restarting mac slave
  • verify that linux has had "DISPLAY=:0 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_1
    • 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
  • cd /data/cltbld/bin && cvs up
  • rm -rf /builds/updates/*
  • rm -rf /builds/source/*
  • rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0rc1
  • rm -rf /builds/tags/* (but only if you really need the space)
• update fx-moz19-bootstrap.cfg, get review, land and move the bootstrap tag to your new revision (NB: this changed since bug 415970 - no need to cvs up the bootstrap.cfg on the master any longer but moving the tag is critical). This setup occurred relatively late because RC1 was pushed backed several times, all the other setup was done early.
• kick off buildbot (run as cltbld on production-1.9-master):

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 RC3 Build1" release

Tag

• automated, no problems
• did a cvs rdiff to verify changes between FIREFOX_3_0rc2_BUILD2 FIREFOX_3_0rc3_BUILD1

Source

• automated, no problems

Setup symlinks

On stage-old in /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.0rc2-candidates/build2 as cltbld:

for i in `ls ../build1/*win32.installer.exe`; do ln -s $i; done

ln -s ../build1/windows-xpi
ln -s ../build1/win32_info.txt
ln -s ../build1/win32_signing_build1.log win32_signing_build2.log
ln -s ../build1/unsigned 
for i in `ls ../build1/*linux-i686.tar.bz2`; do ln -s $i; done
for i in `ls ../build1/*linux-i686.complete.mar`; do ln -s $i; done
ln -s ../build1/linux-xpi
