Build 1

Diff mozconfigs

From a mozilla-release checkout, ran:

for p in linux32 linux64 macosx-universal win32; do diff -Naur {,../mozilla-beta/}browser/config/mozconfigs/$p/release; done

Got the following output:

Not a critical change, but it'll get picked up when Release Management does the merge, so didn't take any action.

Preparing to start Automation

• Requested a clobber for "any master", "mozilla-release", "any builder"
• Reserved 8 slaves
• Created a candidates directory symlink:

# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/12.0-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/12.0-candidates 12.0-candidates

• Clicked "ship it" on l10n dashboard
• Landed buildbot-configs changes
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, and tools with FIREFOX_12_0_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• Ran release sanity:

source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \
  -V 12.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \
  --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=12 --bypass-l10n-check --dryrun localhost:9001
PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \
  -V 12.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \
  --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=12 --bypass-l10n-check localhost:9001

E-mail Mirrors

Emailed mirrors@mozilla.org to warn of Firefox and Thunderbird 12.0

Edit rsync exclude files

Added '- firefox/releases/12.0' to /pub/mozilla.org/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude

Tag

No problems. However, I thought I had messed up the config so I halted tagging at one point, and to restart the automation. We thought we would have to muck around with the schedulers to fix it, but that ended up not being the case.
