Notes
Build 1
Diff mozconfigs
If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.
Preparing to start Automation
- Set clobbers for mozilla-beta
- Reserved 5 slaves
- Updated l10n changesets for mobile
- Double landed automation configs
- Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags.
- updated and reconfigured the master

- start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
- the same command as above but without the "--dryrun" and with "-m" to skip the mozconfig check:
PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u aki -V 14.0b6 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \ -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products fennec -m localhost:9001
E-mail Metrics
I did this in the Firefox 14.0b6 run.
Tag
First go failed b/c I failed to tag tools.
Fixed, re-ran the sendchange. No problems.
Source
No problems.
Build
Fennec
No problems.
Fennec repacks
No problems.
Android Signing
Instructions in MobileSigning
Now run on signing1.
Did this via
python26 mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --cfg signing/android_mozilla-beta.py --platform android --platform android-xul
to get both platforms; I should write a patch.
Later: landed a fix.
Reset reserved slaves
Done.
Going to Beta
NOTE: Skip to "Before Release Day" for beta releases
Publish Fennec to the Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)
Push the files (for beta releases and release releases)
- Use this script and run it as ffxbld@stage (please push you changes prior to using it, and grab latest on stage via curl -O http://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/raw-file/tip/releases-related/push_fennec.sh)
Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)
IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!
- download both multi apks. These have the same name so save them to separate directories.
- (If you're not building or pushing XUL fennec, you can skip the android-xul download/push)
- (e.g. android/multi/fennec-14.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk)
- (e.g. android-xul/multi/fennec-14.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk)
- visit https://market.android.com/publish
- choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
- select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
- choose the android 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 VersionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
- hit "Save"
- choose the android multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
- If you're also uploading XUL Fennec, repeat the same steps for the android-xul multilocale apk
- activate new android apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
- deactivate old android apk (You should not see the Error message anymore)
- If you're also activating XUL Fennec, repeat those steps for the android-xul multilocale apk.
- 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"
