Notes

Build 1

Bootstrap tag: RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1

NB: Italicized items were not required for this build (reason given for each).

Setup before starting:

• compare nightly and release mozconfig/tinder-config.pl files, merge any desired changes - none this time
• updated the bootstrap tag in master.cfg, and landed after review. Merged the change onto production-1.9-master, commented out the dep builders and reconfig'd the master - no changes
• tagged mozilla/tools/tinderbox with RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1 - we don't need the one change (bug 291167)
• On fx-mac-1.9-slave2, fx-linux-1.9-slave2 (skipped fx-win32-1.9-slave2)
  • restart linux and windows VMs to sort out any glitches from netapp problems
  • remember to use VNC if restarting mac slave
  • verify that linux has had "DISPLAY=:0 xhost +" since last reboot
  • remove the contents of /builds/verify/*
    • FIXME should be automatically backed up or removed - bug 413178
  • update tinderbox to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1
    • Nothing to do here; linux and mac slaves already using RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1.
• on fx-linux-1.9-slave2
  • cd /data/cltbld/bin && cvs up
  • rm -rf /builds/updates/*
  • rm -rf /builds/source/*
  • rm -rf /data/cltbld/firefox-3.0rc2
  • rm -rf /builds/tags/* (but only if you really need the space)
• update fx-moz19-bootstrap.cfg, get review, land and move the bootstrap tag to your new revision (NB: this changed since bug 415970 - no need to cvs up the bootstrap.cfg on the master any longer but moving the tag is critical).
• kick off buildbot (run as cltbld on production-1.9-master):

buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9989 -m "Firefox 3.0 RC3 Build1" release

Tag

• failed out because Tag::Bump was expecting pre in the versions, checked in a fix to the relbranch and restarted the automation (known bug)
• had forgotten to remove fx-linux-1.9-slave2:/builds/tags/FIREFOX_3_0rc3_BUILD1/ so did that and restarted again
• did a cvs rdiff to verify changes between FIREFOX_3_0rc2_BUILD2 and FIREFOX_3_0rc3_BUILD1 - confirmed the change to mozilla/modules/plugin/base/src/nsPluginsDirDarwin.cpp was present (also some NPOTB calendar, mail, mailnews changes that landed on trunk)

Source

• automated, no problems

Setup symlinks

On stage-old in /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.0rc3-candidates/build1 as cltbld:

for i in `ls ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/*win32.installer.exe`; do ln -s $i; done
for i in `ls ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/*win32.complete.mar`; do ln -s $i; done
ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/windows-xpi
ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/win32_info.txt
ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/unsigned 
for i in `ls ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/*linux-i686.tar.bz2`; do ln -s $i; done
for i in `ls ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/*linux-i686.complete.mar`; do ln -s $i; done
ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/linux-xpi
ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/linux_info.txt

When ready for the automation to continue:

ln -s ../../3.0rc2-candidates/build2/win32_signing_build2.log win32_signing_build1.log

Build

• linux and win32 builders commented out of master.cfg, so never started.
• mac builds went fine

Sign

• N/A

l10n Verify

• automated, no problems

Update Generation

• We only want updates for Mac, so comment out the buildID's in the patcher config - patch
• Committed this to cvs after PatcherConfig ran but before patcher downloaded the builds
• automated, no problems

Update Verify

• expected gu-IN missing, as it did not ship before
• automated, no problems

Update Bouncer

• Done manually
