Notes
RC1
Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M7
Setup before starting:
- used existing version bump bug to attached diff for bootstrap.cfg
- "cvs update" in /home/buildmaster/Automation/bootstrap-configs/ after checkin. Did a cvs stat first to work out if any local patches or if unexpected changes would be pulled in
- restarted master
- ensure that machines have enough resources (bug 393274)
- On production-prometheus-vm remove the contents of /builds/updates/* - didn't need to do this, plenty of space
- On bm-xserve05 remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
- On build-console, make sure both private and public areas are synced to stage:
- rsync -nav /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2.0.0.11-candidates/ stage.mozilla.org:/home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/2.0.0.11-candidates/
- removed /home/ftp/pub/thunderbird/ after comparing to staging like above
- rsync -nav /data/cltbld/firefox-2.0.0.11/ stage:/data/cltbld/firefox-2.0.0.11/
- expect new directories, but file contents should be the same
- On build-console, remove private and public areas:
- rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-*
- rm -rf /builds/tags/* - did not do this, plenty of space
- in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/, remove all except the 2.0.0.x-candidates directory for the previous release
- kick off buildbot (run as cltbld):
- buildbot sendchange --master=localhost:9989 -u joduinn -m"Firefox 2.0.0.12 RC1" release
Tag
Source
- permissions problems in /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly prevented rsync to stage
- to resolve: chmod a-s /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly
- need to investigate what's causing this
Build
- win32 build failed, CVS_RSH was not set in environment
- buildbot slave was started from cmd.exe not cygwin
- FIXME make this run on boot so we can't get it wrong :)
- removed FIREFOX_2_0_0_12_* tags on tinder-config.pl/mozconfig and re-ran
- mac build failed
- removed FIREFOX_2_0_0_12_* tags on tinder-config.pl/mozconfig and re-ran
- intermittent failure seen on staging:
----------- Output from MozillaAliveTest ------------- 2008-01-28 22:14:33.998 firefox-bin[9432] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c), port = 0x3d03, name = 'Processes-0.2228225' See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes. 2008-01-28 22:14:33.999 firefox-bin[9432] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (Processes-0.2228225) CFMessagePortCreateLocal failed (name = Processes-0.2228225 error = 0) ----------- End Output from MozillaAliveTest ---------

Updates to Beta Channel
After QA gives "ok" to push to beta channel, on aus2-staging do:
# put snippets on beta $ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging $ sudo ~cltbld/bin/pushsnip 20080203-Firefox-2.0.0.12-beta
- FIXME pushsnip does backup before pushing; we could do this backup in the Updates->Push() method instead. needs bug filed
