Notes
Build 1
Preparing to start Automation
Release:Release Automation on Mercurial:Documentation#Starting_the_automation detailed instructions
- Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
- Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ pwd /builds/buildbot/build1/master [cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves 8
- For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates
- Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
- Instructions on how to get them
- Firefox 13.0 Beta 4 files
- l10n dashboard
hg tag -f FIREFOX_13_0b4_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
- updated and reconfigure the master locally (full reconfig will be done later via fabric)
#cltbld@buildbot-master13 cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py --dryrun \ -u kmoir -V 13.0b4 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \ -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py \ --products firefox localhost:9001
- start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
- the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"
