Notes About Releasing

Please update the Release:Primer for future releases (bug fixes, changes to automation) as needed

Bugs hit

  • bug 673911 - until 8.0 releases it will still be named 'eabi-arm'
  • bug 673913 - to help avoid the issue that I hit which was having left BUILD=1 for activating build2 autosign, the script uses the config build # for somethings and the BUILD var for others
  • bug 673918 - to get tests to only run on test masters (not also on build masters as they did - failing - for this release)
  • bug 673303 - check key expiry dates
  • bug 674327 - bump the disk space for signing
  • bug 664539 - auto retry when update is not found at url (for update verify step)

already done in the first build

Source

First build failed because my clobber hadn't happened due to slow page loading and getting distracted elsewhere. So I forced build on it after completing the clobber and the second run was fine.

Start autosign

Trying to start autosign and unable to get the gpg key to work, turns out it expired on July 20, 2011 as shown with: 

gpg --list-keys

I (bhearsum) logged onto the machine after finding it was taking a long time to finish signing. It had run out of space, so I cleared it out and it proceeded. After that, it refused to start signing, citing missing source packages. They were there, and I couldn't figure out why it was complaining, so I killed the process to see how it was invoked. Turns out that this command was used: 

make autosign PRODUCT=firefox VERSION=6.0b3 BUILD=1 REPO=releases/mozilla-beta EMAIL=release@mozilla.com KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys RELCONFIG=mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py

Note the BUILD=1 when it should be BUILD=2.

This got me paranoid about what was actually in signed-build2 and unsigned-build2, so I moved them and restarted signing:

mv signed-build2 signed-build2-unknown-contents
mv unsigned-build2 unsigned-build2-unknown-contents
PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=6.0b3
BUILD=2
TAG=FIREFOX_6_0b3_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-beta'
EMAIL=release@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
RELCONFIG=mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py
make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG}

Had to start signcodepwd.exe and enter passphrase, too. Not sure how original signing attempt got around that.

Firefox Signing

Android Signing

  • followed instructions (now updated to 0.8) with no problems

Android Signature Verification

  • did signature verification as per instructions
  • locked linux-ix-slave12 to pm02-bb07 master to pick up the jobs
  • failing - need to figure out why - turns out android_signature_verifcation was ported to 0.8, it wasn't triggered by the automation but ran fine when forced with 'who' set to the apk (once for en-US, once for multi)
  • filed bug 673911

Maemo5-GTK repos

L10N verify

  • other than l10n metadiff failures (string changes), there was nothing unusual or alarming

Updates

No problems

Update verify

Retriggered release-mozilla-beta-win32_update_verify_7/10 builder because first one failed on trying to get the update (which on checking the url was in fact available): 

FAIL: no complete update found for https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/Firefox/4.0b12/20110222210221/WINNT_x86-msvc/he/betatest/update.xml?force=1

Check permissions / AV scan

No problems

Push files to internal mirrors

Edit /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude on stage (as cltbld), add 6.0b3 to list of directories to exclude.

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

script_repo_revision: FIREFOX_6_0b3_RELEASE

Push to beta

For the love of all that is good in the world use screen. Did this backupsnip while working remotely from the hotel in Toronto and lost connection to build VPN during, no screen session in place. Fortunately it came back to life and the backupsnip completed in due time. 

ssh cltbld@aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-6.0b3-build2
~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-6.0b3-build2

Publish Fennec

Create bouncer entry for maemo

  • added Firefox-Mobile-6.0b3 product
  • added location for maemo: /mobile/releases/maemo/:lang/firefox-beta.install

Push the files

Copied Rail's script to push_fennec.sh on ffxbld@stage's ~ dir, adjusted VERSION and BUILDNUM, then ran 

./push_fennec.sh

Checked the dirs and symlinks created and all looked good.

Publish to the Android Market

d8af9451d68af4833d54fe2a1aafda7f  fennec-6.0b3.multi.eabi-arm.apk

nothing to do here, this is a beta
