• (simple)json wasn't available on keymaster which broke autosign; I installed it.
• windows repack 5/6 timed out running clobber build
• xulrunner failed on win32 bug 661910, and macosx64 bug 667012
• update verify failed because patcher configs didn't have partials in the partial block, so no partials were generated
• release_sanity failed because buildbot wasn't in the PATH. it should check this first.

Start autosign

Once mozilla-beta was tagged, on keymaster, started signcodepwd.exe, opened a cygwin terminal and ran the following:

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=6.0b1
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_6_0b1_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-beta'
EMAIL=release@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
RELCONFIG=mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py

cd ${HOME}/hg-tools/
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}

mkdir -p ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}/lib/python
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
rsync -av ~/hg-tools/lib/python/ ./lib/python/
make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG}

Failed with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "download_builds.py", line 11, in <module>
    from release.platforms import getPlatformLocales
  File "/home/cltsign/signing-work/firefox-6.0b1/lib/python/release/platforms.py", line 7, in <module>

As Administrator:

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/simplejson/simplejson-2.1.6.tar.gz#md5=2f8351f6e6fe7ef25744805dfa56c0d5
tar zxf simplejson-2.1.6.tar.gz
cd simplejson-2.1.6
python setup.py install
# automatically installed setuptools

Then re-start autosigning:

make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG}

Build / Repack

• Win32 repack 5/6 failed with a timeout running clobberer. rebuilt via web interface, and it completed successfully

Signing

No problems

Updates

No problems generating updates, but update verify failed since no partial updates were generated.

Restored mozBeta-branch-patcher2.cfg to the previous state, and updated the partial block to point to partial files instead of completes.

Rebuilt the updates builder.

updates failed because I forget to roll back the update verify configs.

Reverted mozBeta-branch-patcher2.cfg again, and rolled back update verify configs as well as modifying the 5.0b7 line so it won't get removed by the update verify bumper.

Rebuilt the updates builder again. Completed without problems.

# On my local machine, to kick off update verify
for p in linux linux64 macosx64 win32; do
  for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
    curl "http://buildbot-master08.build.mozilla.org:8001/builders/release-mozilla-beta-${p}_update_verify_${i}%2F10/force" >/dev/null
  done
done

Update verify ran mostly ok. We're missing the 'vi' locale, due to it being dropped from shipped-locales.

Check permissions / AV scan

Both triggered automatically, and look ok.

Push files to internal mirrors

This is only going to internal mirrors (at first), so we add the following line to stage:/pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude:

- firefox/releases/6.0b1

After waiting 10 minutes, forced the "release-mozilla-beta-push_to_mirrors" with the following properties:

release_config: mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py
script_repo_revision: FIREFOX_6_0b1_RELEASE

Push to beta

cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-6.0b1-build1
~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-6.0b1-build1

DONE TO HERE

Push to external mirrors

If needed, remove 6.0b1 from stage:/pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude
