Notes

buildbot-master25

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

• Set a clobber for "any master", "mozilla-esr10", "any builder". This isn't strictly necessary, but cleaning up the build directories ahead of time speeds things up a bit.
• Set reserved slaves

(build1)[cltbld@buildbot-master25 master]$ echo 2 > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves

• landed configs, tagged, updated the master, reconfigured
• sanity check:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail \
 -V 10.0.9esr --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 \
 --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-esr10.py --products firefox  \
 --dryrun localhost:9001

• failed with the following:

2012-10-11 15:07:50,878 : CRITICAL : Tests Failed! Not running sendchange!
2012-10-11 15:07:50,879 : CRITICAL : Failed tests (run with -b to skip) :
2012-10-11 15:07:50,879 : CRITICAL : verify_l10n_dashboard

• Meh, who cares about l10n dashboard for ESR?
• Start the automation

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail \
 -V 10.0.9esr --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 \
 --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-esr10.py --products firefox  \
 -l localhost:9001

L10N repacks

• failed due to bad mozconfigs. Fixed by this patch. Landed, retagged, rebuilt (no reconfig required).

Reset reserved slaves

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

Push snippets

~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-10.0.9esr-build1

Update symlink
