Notes

Build 1

• Cleaned up previous releases' build dirs
• l10n-changesets updated in bug 505129
• Land version bump, reconfig production-master
• Kick-off automation:

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.1 -m "Firefox 3.5.2 build1" goforit

Tag

No problems with tag (see below for where it got moved)

Source

No problems

Build/Repack

Had to remove en-US.xpi manually from stage FIXME No problems generating en-US builds, but linux locales started failing in the make_installers_locale step after generating tar.bz2 and complete.mar:

/tools/python/bin/python ../../tools/update-packaging/generatesnippet.py \
         --mar-path=/builds/moz2_slave/linux_repack/build/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/update \
         --application-ini-file=/builds/moz2_slave/linux_repack/build/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/l10n-stage/firefox/application.ini \
         --locale=or \
         --product=Firefox \
         --download-base-URL= \
         --verbose
/tools/python/bin/python: can't open file '../../tools/update-packaging/generatesnippet.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This is fallout from a bad merge in bug 489313, as generatesnippet.py did not land on mozilla-1.9.1. Mac also hit it because it's not platform-dependent.

Recovery

• did a no-op reconfig on master to prevent win32 repacks from starting
• Fix was landed on the relbranch and default, and the two tags moved up to d57f05bcdbe1
• automation patched to disable tag and en-US builds
• cleaned up mac and linux slaves of repack dirs and source
• submitted another sendchange

Mac repacks were broken because of bug 489313. Root cause hasn't been determined yet, see below for fixup.

mac repack rerun

• Backed out bug 489313 on the release branch and moved the _BUILD1 and _RELEASE tags up.
• Deleted all l10n builds in .../build1/mac and ../build1/update/mac on stage.
• Landed this patch on the master and reconfiged
• Did another sendchange

Sign

instructions

• Kicked off new signing on cm-keymaster01 and old style on keymaster at the same time
• new signing bailed out at verify-asc because SUMS files were not signed, but verify-asc thought they should be (FIXME). we were trying to push out signed *SUMS files this time. to save time but since we've never done it in the past, just pushed things along with unsigned *SUMS files by running the 'fake-upload' and then 'postsign' targets

Generate updates and push betatest snippets

• Update generation had 'WARNING' messages about not being able to find application.ini on Mac. While all this actually broke was fast patcher for Mac, it made us look closer at the Mac builds, and discover that all of the repacks were broken. Kev sent e-mail around the same time, as he discovered it while doing partner repacks
  • mac l10n builds must be respun, which necessitates re-running l10n_verify and updates so i killed those builders off.
