  • Coop reviewed and marked as ready.

Update the correct config

Because of bug 815302 we updated the wrong release config. To fix:

# cltbld@buildbot-master36
cd /builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 17.0.3 --branch comm-esr17 --build-number 1 --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --skip-reconfig --bypass-l10n-dashboard-check --bypass-check localhost:9301
  • reconfiged the build + scheduler masters by hand
  • reran release sanity to start the release:
# cltbld@buildbot-master36
cd /builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 17.0.3 --branch comm-esr17 --build-number 1 --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --skip-reconfig --bypass-l10n-dashboard-check localhost:9301

Disable pymake

win32 build failed because it tried to use pymake, which isn't supported on Gecko 17 bug 841898. FIXME - why didn't this get caught in pre-release builds? Does Thunderbird-Release not build the same thing that we're going to release with?

Landed the patches from that bug, retagged buildbot-configs and buildbotcustom, reconfiged build masters, and then used "rebuild" to restart the win32 build.

Retrigger mac builds

Mac build failed because reconfig w/ directory shortening happened mid-build. Someone retriggered it (don't know who), and it succeeded.

Repacks subsequently failed because the en-US was retriggered with "force build" instead of "rebuild", which meant that "script_repo_revision" wasn't set. (FIXME: we should make sure it's always set). Used "force build" to start those builders with "script_repo_revision" set to THUNDERBIRD_17_0_3_RELEASE
