Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

• Set reserved_slaves to 6:

# cltbld@buildbot-master08
echo 6 > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves_bm08-build1

• Requested a clobber for Any master, mozilla-beta, any builder
• Hit "Ship it" for Firefox & Fennec 8.0b4
• Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
• Land automation configs
• Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools, mozharness with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_8_0b4_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• Updated master configs, ran checkconfig, reconfiged
• Ran release sanity:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -pfirefox,fennec -V 8.0b4 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --dryrun localhost:9001
