Notes

Build 1

  • Cleaned up previous releases' build dirs
  • l10n-changesets updated in bug 505129
  • Land version bump, reconfig production-master
  • Kick-off automation:
buildbot sendchange --username=nthomas --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/mozilla-1.9.1 -m "Firefox 3.5.2 build1" goforit

Tag

No problems with tag (see below for where it got moved)

Source

No problems

Build/Repack

Had to remove en-US.xpi manually from stage FIXME No problems generating en-US builds, but linux locales started failing in the make_installers_locale step after generating tar.bz2 and complete.mar: 

/tools/python/bin/python ../../tools/update-packaging/generatesnippet.py \
         --mar-path=/builds/moz2_slave/linux_repack/build/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/update \
         --application-ini-file=/builds/moz2_slave/linux_repack/build/mozilla-1.9.1/dist/l10n-stage/firefox/application.ini \
         --locale=or \
         --product=Firefox \
         --download-base-URL= \
         --verbose
/tools/python/bin/python: can't open file '../../tools/update-packaging/generatesnippet.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This is fallout from a bad merge in bug 489313, as generatesnippet.py did not land on mozilla-1.9.1. Mac also hit it because it's not platform-dependent.

Recovery

  • did a no-op reconfig on master to prevent win32 repacks from starting
  • Fix was landed on the relbranch and default, and the two tags moved up to d57f05bcdbe1
  • automation patched to disable tag and en-US builds
  • cleaned up mac and linux slaves of repack dirs and source
  • submitted another sendchange

Mac repacks were broken because of bug 489313. Root cause hasn't been determined yet, see below for fixup.

mac repack rerun
  • Backed out bug 489313 on the release branch and moved the _BUILD1 and _RELEASE tags up.
  • Deleted all l10n builds in .../build1/mac and ../build1/update/mac on stage.
  • Landed this patch on the master and reconfiged
  • Did another sendchange

no problems with the re-run still need to regenerate asc files for them

Sign

instructions

  • Kicked off new signing on cm-keymaster01 and old style on keymaster at the same time
  • new signing bailed out at verify-asc because SUMS files were not signed, but verify-asc thought they should be (FIXME). we were trying to push out signed *SUMS files this time. to save time but since we've never done it in the past, just pushed things along with unsigned *SUMS files by running the 'fake-upload' and then 'postsign' targets

L10nVerify

PASS. All locales with real changes have an updated l10n-changesets revision (got that list by doing 'hg diff -r FIREFOX_3_5_1_RELEASE -r FIREFOX_3_5_2_RELEASE mozilla2/l10n-changesets)

Generate updates and push betatest snippets

  • Update generation had 'WARNING' messages about not being able to find application.ini on Mac. This comes from get_buildid in make_incremental_updates.py, but we never actually use the output of that function which makes this a superfluous message. Noticed it in the 3.0.12 logs, too. bug 507405
