Notes

Build 1

• Clobbered 1.9.2 on pm with the clobberer page
• Landed automation patch
• Tag buildbot-configs and buildbotcustom
  • hg tag -r 7848b054e13a FIREFOX_3_6_2_BUILD1; hg tag -r 7848b054e13a FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE (buildbot-configs)
  • hg tag -r 5e5c12c1e83a FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE; hg tag -r 5e5c12c1e83a FIREFOX_3_6_2_BUILD1 (buildbotcustom)
• Triggered the builds

buildbot sendchange --username=armenzg --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -m "Firefox 3.6.2 build1" Go

• I noticed that I used the wrong changeset before Mac and Linux builds were available so I stopped and started a build 2

Build 2

• Clobbered 1.9.2 on pm with the clobberer page
• Landed build 2 patch
• Tagged buildbot-config
  • hg tag -r 4b4fad2279f6 FIREFOX_3_6_2_BUILD2
• Triggered the builds

buildbot sendchange --username=armenzg --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -m "Firefox 3.6.2 build2" Go

• All builds are available but win32 repacks did not trigger:
  • Specific instructions to resume l10n repacks
  • python force_release_l10n.py -m http://production-master.build.mozilla.org:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE -v -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p win32 -n armenzg

Build 3

• Clobbered 1.9.2 on pm with the clobberer page
• bhearsum landed the two missing changesets that had landed after changeset on build1 (cd857b3b0e33) on the release branch
• Landed automation patch
• Triggered the builds

buildbot sendchange --username=armenzg --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -m "Firefox 3.6.2 build3" Go

• Tag builder finished but did not trigger the rest of the builders
• souce, linux_build, mac_build and win32_build were triggered manually
• Tagging our repos:
  • hg tag -r hg tag -f -r 5b24dd7ca36f FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE; hg tag -r 5b24dd7ca36f FIREFOX_3_6_2_BUILD3 (buildbotcustom)

Build/Repack

• One of linux's sendchanges was not timing out so I had to stop it manually
  • It failed the step but it did not fail the build
  • The sendchange that wasn't timing out was for talos-staging-master02.build.mozilla.org:9010
  • The same sendchange was affecting all platforms. I stopped the step in all 3 platforms
• To trigger the locales do the following from the master:
  • python force_release_l10n.py -m localhost:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE -v -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p linux -n armenzg
  • python force_release_l10n.py -m localhost:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE -v -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p macosx -n armenzg
  • python force_release_l10n.py -m localhost:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_6_2_RELEASE -v -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p win32 -n armenzg
• I retriggered the "id" locale which failed downloading the candidates zip
  • http://production-master.build.mozilla.org:8010/builders/win32_repack/builds/2033

• partner repack step failed to upload the generated builds. Given all the other network failures at the time, this isn't surprising. Re-ran the upload step by hand without issue.

Unit tests

• Make sure that you check to see that all unit tests were green

Sign

• I tried to start signing before all-locales were ready (WRONG!)
• Before started signing I got an rsync failure and after talking with bhearsum I figured that I need all locales for all platforms

• I triggered the missing windows locales
• I have to clobber everything on keymaster and start again once all repacks are done
• This second time had no complains. Signed builds are currently being uploaded.

L10nVerify

No problems

Generate updates and push betatest snippets

• We hit a bug. Nick helped me with this.
• bug 552831 - patcher-config-bump.pl fails when flipping useBeta to True

• Once this landed, I deleted moz2-linux-slave12:/builds/slave/updates/* and force the builder
• updates generation is completed

Update verify

• Waiting on mac_update_verify

Publish updates to beta channel

• THU. 18th of March - 6:30 PDT
• Backing up snippets

# cltbld@aus2-staging.m.o
# make sure scripts are up to date
cd bin
cvs update
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
# NOTE: That that backupsnip only backs up the folder you specify and nothing older as it used to

Socorro product data updates

We can do this ourselves (a subset of relengs, ask nthomas or bhearsum). No need to file an IT bug for this.

Nick added for me the entries.

Added 3.6.2 and 3.6.3pre with the crash-stats admin page.
