mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering, and put the questions below, and their answers in the bug to help us get started:
 
'''NOTE''': RelEng will use this one tracking bug for all of the above
setups, and will create dependent bugs with different groups in Mozilla as needed.
 
* Name of hg repo for this branch (relative to hg.mozilla.com)
** '''NOTE''': this name will be used for all things related to the branch, tinderbox, tbpl, ftp locations, etc.
** Has a bug already been filed to create the repo?
** Name of parent branch?
 
* Do you want builds?
** All o.s. or subset of linux32, linux64, osx10.5, osx10.6, win32, win64
** Incremental-build-on-checkin? y/N
** Nightly builds? Y/n
*** Nightly updates? y/N
 
* Do you want unittests?
** All o.s. or subset of: WinXP, Win7, 10.5, 10.6, fedora12, fedora12-64, maemo4, maemo5gtk, maemo5qt, android (with Win7x64 coming soon).
 
* Do you need mobile builds?
** All o.s. or subset of linux-i686, macosx-i686, maemo4, maemo5gtk, maemo5qt
** Incremental-build-on-checkin? y/N
 
* Do you want talos?
** Do you need talos on Tiger?
** All o.s. or subset of Talos platforms?
 
* Name of the contact person for this branch who will:
** Be doing periodic refreshes from parent
** Be contact person for misc setup questions
** Decide when to land back project branch onto parent
** Decide when to terminate the project branch
 
* Timeline:
** Is this branch is needed for a specific hard calendar deadline? (we typically can do this in 2 weeks, and we will notify you if we think we'll miss that)
** Approx expected life span of project branch - if known?
 
* Additional requests:
** Need any changes to toolchain used in parent branch?
** Need any changes to the compile/link/repack steps used in parent branch?
** Do you expect to create any releases from this project branch?
*** '''NOTE''': Currently we do not have nightly/alpha/beta/release updates on these project branches.
** Any other info that might be helpful to us?
 
 
= Release Engineering Checklist =
'''note''' --- all new branches should be created in buildbot-0.8.0 branch of buildbot-configs using scheduler db
 
* Create tinderbox page for the branch to report to and file bug for tbpl
 
* File IT bugs:
** to create hg repo
** to add nagios monitoring
** to add mxr indexing (release branches only - see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510495 bug 510495] for example)
** to get rows added to graph server database:
*** branches table for talos results (if applicable)
*** machines table for the branch/platform's build/leak test results (if applicable)
 
* File a Webtools/Socorro bug to add the new branch to vcsMappings:
** This allows devs to get source links for branch crash reports.
** Ask for this:
<pre>'hg.mozilla.org/REPO' => 'http://hg.mozilla.org/REPLACE_WITH_REPO/annotate/%(revision)s/%(file)s#l%(line)s'</pre>
 
* Create patches in buildbot-configs for:
** mozilla (schedulerdb land)
** <strike>mozilla2 (production-master)</strike>
** <strike> mozilla2-staging (staging-master)</strike>
** mobile configs if applicable
** talos-r3 (talos-master, if applicable)
** talos-staging-pool (talos-staging-master, if applicable)
** Make sure to add mozconfigs for each platform!
 
* Test staging patches - watch for mozconfigs, talos sendchanges working, file uploads to staging-stage
 
* Push and enable production and staging patches
* Schedule downtime and reconfig Talos
 
* Set up Nagios monitoring on checks for file age in firefox/nightly/latest-$branch if required
