Notes

Build 1

Setup

• Marked "Any master", "mozilla-beta", "Any builder" for a clobber
• About an hour ahead of the expected "go", set reserved_slaves to 6:

[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/builder_master
[cltbld@production-master03 builder_master]$ echo 6 > reserved_slaves_pm03 

• Hit "ship it" button on "Firefox 5 Beta Build 4" (https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/milestones)
• Landed configs, merged configs & custom to production.
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, and tools with FIREFOX_5_0b4_RELEASE and FIREFOX_5_0b4_BUILD1
• Update pm03 checkouts & reconfigured
• Ran release_sanity dry run with:

PYTHONPATH=.:tools/lib/python/ python tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 5.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --dryrun localhost:9010

• And then to start the release:

PYTHONPATH=.:tools/lib/python/ python tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 5.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py localhost:9010

Tag

Worked fine.

Start Autosign

Once mozilla-beta was tagged, on keymaster, started signcodepwd.exe, opened a cygwin terminal and run the following:

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=5.0b5
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_5_0b5_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-beta'
EMAIL=release@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
RELCONFIG=mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py

cd ${HOME}/hg-tools/
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}

mkdir -p ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}/lib/python
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
rsync -av ~/hg-tools/lib/python/ ./lib/python/
make autosign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} RELCONFIG=${RELCONFIG}

Bouncer Submitter

Worked fine.

Source

Worked fine.

Build/Repack

• Linux: No problems
• Linux64: No problems
• Windows: No problems
• Mac: No problems

Signing

No problems. TODO: Close signecodepwd

L10n Verify

TODO check

Updates (5.0b[1-4] -> 5.0b5)

No problems.

Update verify

Beta4 had not been shipped and therefore update verify failed.

We landed a switch from releases/5.0b4 to nightly/5.0b4-candidates/build1.

TODO land, re-tag, push and re-trigger.

Updates (4.0many -> 5.0b5)

TODO check

Update Verify

TODO check

Channel switching snippets

TODO

Permissions check and A/V Scan

No problems.

A/V Notification

No problems.

Push Files

As in 5.0b2, we'll be pushing to a few internal mirrors rather than the whole network. To set this up, added the following to stage:/pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude:

- firefox/releases/5.0b5

...and waited a few minutes, to ensure that the rsync servers have the file.

Then, forced the "release-mozilla-beta-push_to_mirrors" builder with the following properties:

release_config: mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py
script_repo_revision: FIREFOX_5_0b5_RELEASE
