Steps for security release update generation: | Steps for security release update generation: | ||
* partial MARs and AUS configuration data are generated using the patcher2 tool: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/patcher/ | |||
* a release engineer puts the appropriate URLs, version numbers, and build IDs into the patcher configuration file: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/patcher-configs/ | |||
* patcher downloads the complete MARs, creates partial diffs (using mbsdiff), and generates partial MAR files as well as AUS configuration files ("snippet" files). | |||
* patcher generates both production ("release") and testing ("releasetest") snippets, release snippets point to bouncer while releasetest snippets point to stage. | |||
* partial MAR files are copied to the candidates directory, and the releasetest snippets are loaded into AUS. | |||
