Generate Major Update Snippets

These are for the "vanilla" builds we're going to update.

Update these config files

• CVS:mozilla/tools/patcher-configs/moz18-branch-major-update-patcher2.cfg
• HG: build/tools/release/updates/moz18-firefox-{linux,mac,win32}-major.cfg

with review as usual.

Then generate the snippets

# ssh cltbld@production-prometheus-vm.build.mozilla.org
mkdir -p /builds/2.0.0.20-3.0.9-major-update/snippets
cd /builds/2.0.0.20-3.0.9-major-update/snippets
cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r UPDATE_PACKAGING_R7 -d patcher mozilla/tools/patcher
cd patcher
cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r UPDATE_PACKAGING_R7 -d MozBuild mozilla/tools/release/MozBuild
cd ../
cvs -d:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -d patcher-configs mozilla/tools/patcher-configs

cd patcher
export CVSROOT=:ext:cltbld@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot

# build tools
./patcher2.pl --build-tools --app=firefox --tools-rev=UPDATE_PACKAGING_R7 --config=../patcher-configs/moz18-branch-major-update-patcher2.cfg 2>&1 | tee ../firefox_build-tools.log

# download mars

# FIXME - patcher needs to see that the MARs that it thinks are partials
#             are there or else it will not attempt to generate patchinfo
cd temp/firefox
ln -s 3.0.9 2.0.0.20-3.0.9
cd ../..

# Create partial patches and snippets
./patcher2.pl --create-patches --app=firefox --config=../patcher-configs/moz18-branch-major-update-patcher2.cfg 2>&1 | tee ../firefox-create-patches.log

Separate out beta snippets

cd temp/firefox/2.0.0.20-3.0.9
rsync -a aus2/ aus2.beta/
find aus2.beta/ -type d -name "release" -exec rm -rfv {} \;
find aus2/ -type d -name "beta" -exec rm -rfv {} \; 

Quick verify

This has changed a bit from last time because we haven't shipped 3.0.9 yet. Therefore we have to do QA using betatest pointing at the candidates dir, then 3.0.9 ships and we later go to beta (using bouncer), and later still enable the release channel (bouncer again). So we want releasetest == beta == release and accept that betatest is different.

# releasetest == beta
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*releasetest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/releasetest/beta/; $a =~ s/aus2\.test/aus2.beta/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
find aus2.beta -type d -iregex '.*/beta$' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta$/releasetest/; $a =~ s/aus2\.beta/aus2.test/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'

# releasetest == release
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*releasetest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/releasetest/release/; $a =~ s/aus2\.test/aus2/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
find aus2 -type d -iregex '.*/release$' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/release$/releasetest/; $a =~ s/aus2/aus2.test/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'

No differences found.

Push to AUS

cd /builds/2.0.0.20-3.0.9-major-update/snippets/patcher/temp/firefox/2.0.0.20-3.0.9
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20090414-Firefox-2.0.0.20-3.0.9-MU
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2.beta/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20090414-Firefox-2.0.0.20-3.0.9-MU-beta
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2.test/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20090414-Firefox-2.0.0.20-3.0.9-MU-test

Enable test snippets

Safe to do this without doing null snippets because we're only talking about betatest and releasetest, where no end-users of partner builds will be falling back to (metrics website confirms).

Update verify

Ran update verify on fx-{linux,mac,win32}-1.9-slave2 as follows:

mkdir -p /builds/verify/firefox-20020-309-major/
cd /builds/verify/firefox-20020-309-major/
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/

# get patch to trawl "Only in" directories
cd tools/release/common
# on mac & linux
curl -sL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=367544 | patch -p3
# on win32
wget --no-check-certificate -L -O patch https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=367544
patch -p3 < patch

# everyone ...
platform=linux   # or mac or win32
cd ../updates
./verify.sh -c moz18-firefox-$platform-major.cfg 2>&1 | tee $platform.log

Logs look fine, and unchanged from last time. Each platform has some standard differences, here's Linux

• The channel-prefs.js is a harmless comment change due the path on the build machine changing and us exlicitly not including that file in the complete mar
• extensions/{inspector@mozilla.org,talkback@mozilla.org} are trees of empty dirs. We've removed all the files but the updater can't remove dirs (for safety), no problem because the Addons manager does that for us
• Some locales also give messages like (eg be), due to them removing those plugins from the 3.0 build but we can't remove them for only some locales. Better user experience if the stuff you use is not vanished anyway
