Build 1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9

Setup before starting:

• create release branch of tinder-config.pl and mozconfig (for b2: compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes)
• On bm-xserve07, tb-linux-tbox, tbnewref-win32-tbox, set up the Bootstrap code

cd /builds/   # /e/builds/ on windows
cvs -d tbirdbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -d release -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9 mozilla/tools/release
cd release/configs
cvs up -A     # in case we need to make changes later
cd ..
ln -s configs/tb-moz19-bootstrap.cfg bootstrap.cfg
mkdir -p old-logs/logs.tb30a1/rc1
ln -s old-logs/logs.tb30a1/rc1 logs

• On bm-xserve07, tb-linux-tbox, tbnewref-win32-tbox, stop running tinderbox and set up tinderbox directories (when ready to actually start the builds)

cd /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
cvs up -r RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9
# on linux and mac (skip to windows otherwise)
cd /builds/tinderbox
mkdir Tb-Mozilla1.9-Release
cd Tb-Mozilla1.9-Release
../mozilla/tools/tinderbox/install-links
# on windows
cd /e/
mkdir tb19rel
cd tb19rel
<copy in files from tinderbox dir>
# all platforms
rm tinderbox
cvs -d tbirdbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r release -d tinderbox-configs mozilla/tools/tinderbox-configs/thunderbird/linux # or macosx or win32
ln -s tinderbox-configs/mozconfig
ln -s tinderbox-configs/tinder-config.pl

• on tb-linux-tbox (once off setup for Stage)

# as root
mkdir -p /data/cltbld
chown cltbld:cltbld /data/cltbld
ln -s /builds/release/bin /data/cltbld

Build

After the build is complete, do cvs up -A in /builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools/tinderbox
