Build 1

• Marked all builders for all branches (picking just one branch doesn't work right now) releases on pm for a clobber -- https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/ has a Release Clobber option if you are not connected to Build VPN
• Moved Slaves to pm
  • from pm01
    • bm-xserve{06,11,12,16}
    • mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04}
    • moz2-darwin10-slave{05,06,07}
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03}
  • from pm03
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,11}
    • moz2-linux64-slave{01,02,03}
    • mw32-ix-slave{14}
• Landed configs patch
• Updated /tools/buildbotcustom, removed /builds/buildbot/moz2-master/*.pyc, checkconfig
• Closed tree for tagging and then started automation with:

buildbot sendchange --username=lsblakk --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b5 build1" Go

Tag

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems, re-opened tree. Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with FIREFOX_4_0b5_BUILD1, FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE

Source

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems

Build/Repack

• Announce the build candidates dir link in the Releases wiki
• Linux build/repack - no problems
• Linux64 build/repack - no problems
• Macosx64 build/repack - no problems
• Macosx build/repack - no problems
• Win32 build - no problems
  • id repack failed because it lost the slave so I did a force build setting branch=id, en_revision&l10n_revision=FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE, and locale=id
  • id passed repack on second run

Returned slaves (all but 2 linux, and one per OS for post-signing)

• mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03} -> pm01
• moz2-linux64-slave{02,03} -> pm03
• moz2-darwin10-slave{06,07} -> pm01
• bm-xserve{11,12,16} -> pm01
• mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04} -> pm01

Unittests

Triggered properly, no problems.

Signing

en-US.xpi removed from stage bug 485860:

#ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b5-candidates/build1
rm en-US.xpi

Using instructions.

Update Verify

Several problems.

• Win32 wasn't able to complete due to slave disconnecting (bug 592490)
• update verify configs weren't bumped properly, bug 592570 - we tried to update 4.0b3 with 4.0b5 but then compare it against 4.0b4
  • landed fix and reran (no clobber necessary for this, it lives in the tools checkout)
