ReleaseEngineering/Official Platform Support Checklist: Difference between revisions

These are the steps that will have to be taken in order to officially support a new platform. They don't exactly have to happen in this order but it more or less follows a sequential order and some steps can be followed in parallel.  

DISCLAIMER: This page is NOT guaranteed to contain 100% of the needs for all platforms. Use this page a guideline. Skip things that don't make sense for a given platform and do additional things that do make sense for it.  

*File a tracking bug - {{bug|512489}}  

*Create a reference image - {{bug|519074}}  

**Determine tool chain  

***What are the needed SDKs and tools to be installed on a fresh OS installation to get a build going

**Must haves:  

***Nagios NRPE daemon - [[ReferencePlatforms/Linux-CentOS-5.0 64-bit#Installing_Nagios_NRPE_Daemon|Installing nagios for L64]]  

***Puppet ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505232#c9 example]) or OPSI client  

***post-clone automation  

****buildbot.tac generation - [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/tip/buildbot-helpers/buildbot-tac.py buildbot-tac.py] - ('''TODO:''' point to some documentation

****OPSI host key automation (where appropriate) - ('''TODO:''' point to some documentation)  

***Staging SSH keys  

**Document OS installation and all subsequent changes on a [[ReferencePlatforms]] page  

*Generate a build and pass it to QA to test it<br>

*Deploy ref image to allocated slaves  

**File IT bugs:  

***Clone/image machines  

***Nagios checks for cloned slaves

*Create mozconfig(s). [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/57e287e45f4c/mozilla2/linux/mozilla-central Standard mozconfigs] for Desktop Firefox at the time of writing are: debug, nightly (aka opt), release, xulrunner)  

*Testing/baking on staging  

**Enable standard jobs in staging buildbot configs (normal and debug builds)  

**Make sure codesighs run (not for windows) - {{bug|547056}}  

**Update staging graph server - {{bug|547029}}  

**Builds should be succeeding  

**Unit tests should be passing, any oranges must be investigated  

*Talos  

**Ref-image  

**Nagios  

**Puppet or OPSI  

**Add slaves to talos-pool and graph server db - {{bug|530680}}  

*Release builds - {{bug|548605}}  

**Enable the new platform on a staging release configuration file ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=433411&action=edit patch])

**Update any release scripts that need to be made aware of the new platform. (which scripts?)  

*Breakpad support - {{bug|464750}} (might not be the easiest example)
