Notes

Using buildbot-master08.

Fennec-only release.

Build 1

• Marked "Any master", "mozilla-beta", "Any builder" for a clobber
• mozharness and configs patches
• hit ship for Fennec 6 beta 6 at https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/milestones
• checked for l10n changes since config patch, replaced TBD with en-US revision 8263a2c99c2a in configs
• landed configs on default and production to dodge a backlog of changes on default, and mozharness bumps
• tagged mozharness default, tools default, buildbot-configs production, buildbotcustom production-0.8 with

hg tag FENNEC_6_0b6_BUILD1 FENNEC_6_0b6_RELEASE

• set reserved slaves to 6, even though that's probably high
• update master

# in /builds/buildbot/build1
make update

• release sanity noop:

# /builds/buildbot/build1/master 
PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u aki \
-V 6.0b6 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
--dryrun --products fennec localhost:9001

• The l10n changesets json didn't exist, so I:

# /builds/buildbot/build1/master
ls -l l10n*
rm l10n-changesets_mozilla-2.0     # old, dead link
ln -s /builds/buildbot/build1/buildbot-configs/mozilla/l10n*json .

• release-sanity.sh was gacking on the json l10n-changesets, so I commented out per Rail:

• start automation:

PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u aki \
-V 6.0b6 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
--products fennec localhost:9001

• once that triggered, reverted local changes in tools (release_sanity.py)
