Notes About Releasing

Please update the Aurora Notes Template and the Release:Primer for future releases (bug fixes, changes to automation) as needed.

You will need to build a 14.0b3 build using the fennec mozilla-aurora config files, then a new build or respin (depending on code changes) of the 13.0b2 build# android-xul build for tablets. Both will go to the market.

Bugs hit

Enter any bugs pre-existing or newly discovered and filed during the release:

  • bug 757911 - buildbot database replication event causing multiple failures

L10N changesets

  • 14.0b3 will get Aurora changesets from this dashboard link. This link will change over time, so won't be useful for verifying later, but isn't dependent on a milestone being created per beta.
  • 13.0b2 build3 spin2 will have an empty l10n-changesets_mobile-beta.json

No problems.

Android Signing

I started this before the repacks kicked off. Removed the android dir on stage; reran after repacks. No problems. 

# cltsign@signing1

hg --cwd mozharness up -C -r default

Done.

13.0b2 build 3 spin 2

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for mozilla-beta
  • Reserve slave on bm13
  • L10n changesets for 13.0b2 build3 spin2 will remain empty {}
  • Verify that nothing has changed in 13.0b2 land since the previous spin.

IF NO CODE HAS CHANGED

No code has changed.

  • Created a build3-spin2 directory on stage, and softlink the build3 to it.
  • Hit "rebuild" on the latest release-mozilla-beta-android-xul_build.
    • This will upload into the build3-spin2 directory instead of overwriting the previous build.

Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

The 14.0b# build *must* be uploaded before the 13.0b2 build!

  • download 14.0b# and 13.0b2 multi apk (e.g. [1] and [2])
  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the 14.0b# multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
      • NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)
    • when it finishes uploading, verify the versionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
    • hit "Save"
  • Repeat with the 13.0b2 multi apk
    • when it finishes uploading, verify the versionCode is larger than the 14.0b# versionCode.
  • activate new 14.0b# and 13.0b2 apks (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old apks (You should not see the Error message anymore)
  • hit "Save"
  • If this is a beta 1, go to "Product Details" tab -> Recent Changes, change the url to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/{VERSION}beta/releasenotes/
    • and hit "Save"
