Notes
Build 1
Did you ship the L10n milestone & get l10n-changesets
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release:Release_Automation_on_Mercurial:Starting_a_Release#L10N_Changesets
Yes
Diff mozconfigs
If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.
No issues were found by relase_sanity's dry run in preparing to start automation.
Set reserved slaves
# buildbot-master34 $ cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master $ cat reserved_slaves 0 $ echo 6 > reserved_slaves
Preparing to start Automation
- double landed the config patch
- tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with THUNDERBIRD_15_0_{BUILD1,RELEASE}
- updated and reconfiged the master (make update, make reconfig)
- ran release sanity:
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas \ -V 15.0 --build-number 1 --branch comm-release \ --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --product thunderbird \ --l10n-dashboard-version 15 --dryrun localhost:9001
- no issues, so started release by removing --dryrun
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas \ -V 15.0 --build-number 1 --branch comm-release \ --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --product thunderbird \ --l10n-dashboard-version 15 localhost:9001
E-mail mirrors@mozilla.org
N/A now that we are using CDN for product delivery.
Edit rsync exclude files
Didn't do this as we're primarily on the CDN. bug 785965 handles the doc updates.

It turned out that this relase needs the What's New page to be shown to users. bug 786232 - Thunderbird 15 update snippets shouldn't have 'silent' in them.
#tbirbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging rsync -avP Thunderbird-15.0-build1-test/ Thunderbird-15.0-build1-test-not-silent/ for f in `find Thunderbird-15.0-build1-test-not-silent/ -type f`; do grep -v "actions=silent" $f > $f.new && mv $f.new $f; done ~/bin/backupsnip Thunderbird-15.0-build1-test-not-silent ~/bin/pushsnip Thunderbird-15.0-build1-test-not-silent rsync -avP Thunderbird-15.0-build1/ Thunderbird-15.0-build1-not-silent/ for f in `find Thunderbird-15.0-build1-not-silent/ -type f`; do grep -v "actions=silent" $f > $f.new && mv $f.new $f; done
Update verify
Failed in hunk 5 and 6 (of 6) for linux* and mac. Windows hasn't run yet. This is bug 785661, where we have incorrect configs for TB older than 10.0, and need to use thunderbird/releases/10.0-real/ for 10.0. Landed fix and rebuilt all non-windows update verify builders (windows was still pending).
Needed a followup fix to apply the 10.0-real change to linux64, mac, and windows. All green after that.
Reset reserved slaves
echo 0 > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves
Check permissions / AV scan
OK
Push to internal mirrors
Forced the builder.
Final verification
OK
Before Release Day
Run backupsnip for release snippets
# ffxbld@aus3-staging backupsnip Thunderbird-15.0-build1-not-silent
Push index file to mirrors
Didn't do this, as Thunderbird is lower profile.
Push to external mirrors
N/A given lack of rsync module blocking earlier. This happened at the push to internal mirrors.
Release Day
Check Throttling
Confirmed none in config.
Push to Release Channel (for beta releases and release releases)
~/bin/pushsnip Thunderbird-15.0-build1-not-silent
Update symlink
[tbirdbld@upload1.dmz.scl3 ~]$ cd /pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/ rm latest && ln -s 15.0 latest
