Fennec 5.0 and 6.0 planning
Fennec 5.0 plan
- To deal with mozilla-beta builds for Fennec 5.0beta, we're going to push changes from mozilla-aurora or mozilla-beta to mozilla-mobile-5.0 and mobile-5.0, and building Fennec 5.0* off of those repos.
- History doesn't matter when doing those pushes.
- Fennec 4.0.x chemspills can happen off of relbranches.
- L10n will probably still use releases/l10n/mozilla-{aurora,beta}. We need to test this.
- There will be branding changes landing in the week of May 9.
- We will need corresponding mozconfig changes.
- We should probably split out beta and release mozconfigs.
- After the branding changes + mozconfig updates, we want to do a pre-mozilla-beta Fennec 5.0beta build.
- Push mozilla-aurora to mozilla-mobile-5.0 + mobile-5.0
- Build using existing 0.7 release automation.
- After the mozilla-beta landing on the week of May 16, we need to start doing Fennec 5.0beta builds for realz.
- Using the existing 0.7 release automation.
- After the mozilla-release landing on the week of June 20?, we need to do a Fennec 5.0 release build.
- Most likely using the existing 0.7 release automation, to avoid automation-caused bugs.
- Mozilla-beta pushes + re-build scheduling TBD. (weekly?)
Fennec 6.0 plan
- We want to be on buildbot 0.8 releases by this point.
- A *very* poor fallback is to continue the push-to-separate-repos and continue using 0.7 release automation.
- Blocked by bug 557260. John Ford and Aki need to drive this to the finish line.
- If this requires a mozilla-central change, we need to land that before 6.0 goes to mozilla-aurora (week of May 23?)
- Scrap work in bug 574764 which all deals with generateMobileReleaseBranchObjects.
- Once bug 557260 is landed, this will go through generateReleaseBranchObjects.
- Hard due date is 6.0 going to beta the week of June 27.
- Soft due date is the week of June 20, since Aki will be on PTO from June 23-July 5. Plus we probably want to do a staging release before 6.0 goes to mozilla-beta.
