{{Release Engineering How To|Enable or Disable Updates on Aurora}}
When Nightly merges into Aurora every 6 weeks we lock Aurora updates at a specific old version for a period of time (days to a week) while QA runs some tests. Once their tests have passed, we re-enable updates. We're also occaisonly asked to disable updates temporarily for other reasons. This document describes how to do both of these things.

Note the magic rule ids below. These correspond to ids of rows in the "rules" table of Balrog. If we fix {{bug|1067402}} we can pass more intelligable values here.

= Disabling Updates =
NOTE: Disabling no longer has to be done by hand during uplifts. The uplift script does it.

= Enabling Updates =
Unlike disabling, Firefox and Fennec aren't always re-enabled at the same time. Make sure you are connected to releng VPN.

'''NOTE''': You may not be able to run these scripts unless you have a linux laptop. See {{bug|1151633}} for details and workarounds.

== Fennec ==
<pre>
cd /tmp
rm -rf tools
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools
cd tools/scripts/updates
scp cltbld@buildbot-master81.bb.releng.scl3.mozilla.com:/builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master/BuildSlaves.py oauth.txt
# Run with dry run first, sanity check the "Would've unlocked" lines.
python2.7 balrog-nightly-locker.py -a https://aus4-admin.mozilla.org/api -c oauth.txt -u ffxbld -r 8 -n unlock
# Run without dry run to unlock the updates
python2.7 balrog-nightly-locker.py -a https://aus4-admin.mozilla.org/api -c oauth.txt -u ffxbld -r 8 unlock
</pre>

== Firefox ==
<pre>
cd /tmp
rm -rf tools
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools
cd tools/scripts/updates
scp cltbld@buildbot-master81.bb.releng.scl3.mozilla.com:/builds/buildbot/build_scheduler/master/BuildSlaves.py oauth.txt
# Run with dry run first, sanity check the "Would've unlocked" lines.
python2.7 balrog-nightly-locker.py -a https://aus4-admin.mozilla.org/api -c oauth.txt -u ffxbld -r 10 -n unlock
# Run without dry run to unlock the updates
python2.7 balrog-nightly-locker.py -a https://aus4-admin.mozilla.org/api -c oauth.txt -u ffxbld -r 10 unlock
</pre>

== Cleanup ==
<pre>
# preferably with srm or equivalent
srm oauth.txt
</pre>
