Notifications

• We have to notify AV vendors once the signed bits are on candidates directory (for email address and template example, see bug 568884#c15 )
• We have to give mirrors as much notice as possible before pushing to mirrors. This has been 24-72 hours, but has been up to a week in advance. (for email address and template example, see bug 633657 )
• We have to notify infra-all@ before "go to build" and before we ship. The more advance notice the better.
• We have to notify metrics once we release

Bugs hit

• bug 644120 - Don't use _nextFastReservedSlave for some release builders
• bug 634428#c4 - A not-set-up slave from staging was connected to production
• bug 643976 - 3.6.15 -> 3.6.16 and 3.5.17 -> 3.5.18 updates on releasetest actually point to 4.0
  • this happened because of the 4.0 MU
• bug 628795 - remove en-US.xpi (this should not be an issue for 3.6.17 if it is not a chemspill)
• bug 644120 - We had to move a slave from pm01 to pm03 since there were no available IX machines and the job would not be taken by normal linux slaves.

Build 1

• Clobbered "pm03:8010/1.9.2/Any builder"
• Pushed buildbot-configs http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/8bdfaab502b5 and merged to production branch: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/1bfa63aa0c43
• tagged using FIREFOX_3_6_16_BUILD1 and FIREFOX_3_6_16_RELEASE: buildbotcustom (tip of production-0.8), tools (tip of default), buildbot-configs (tip of production)
• updated /tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom, /builds/buildbot/configs, and /builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools to latest
• reserved 6 slaves:

echo 6 >reserved_slaves_pm03

• kicked off automation with:

PYTHONPATH=/builds/buildbot/builder_master:/builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools/lib/python python \
/builds/buildbot/builder_master/tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py \
-u rail -V 3.6.16 --branch mozilla-1.9.2 --build-number 1 \

Remove en-US.xpi

You want to remove the en-US.xpi before autosigning creates the MD5SUMS and the SHA1SUMS.

Please remove this section once bug 628795 is fixed.

Start autosigning

Set up autosinging using instructions

Push to Beta Channel

NB: This was a chemspill-ish release so this happened after the release snippets were pushed, see below.

#From a build slave you can reach aus2-staging
#cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org
#This takes now a lot of time because of PHX datacenter
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-3.6.16-build1-beta
~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-3.6.16-build1-beta

Email mirrors about release day date

NOTE: See Notifications section for more details.

DONE

Going live day!

Final checks before push & virus scan

This has run properly automatically.

Push to Mirrors

bug 644120. We had to move a slave from pm01 to pm03 since there were no available IX machines and the job would not be taken by normal linux slaves.

Forced push_to_mirrors builder with the following properties set:

• release_config: mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-1.9.2.py
• script_repo_revision: FIREFOX_3_6_16_RELEASE

Push to community mirrors:

# cltbld@stage
vim -n /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-current.exclude
# replace 3.6.15 with 3.6.16

Final Verification

Will be triggered automatically when there is enough uptake.

Push release test channel snippets

See bug 643976. We had to re-push this because the 4.0 MU overwrote the snippets.

#From a build slave you can reach aus2-staging
#cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org
#This takes now a lot of time because of PHX datacenter
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
