Notes

Build 1

Using RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M15

Slave cleanup

• production-prometheus-vm
  • need ~10GB for tag, source, update generation and linux verify, stage; 20G free to begin with - didn't do any cleanup

• production-crazyhorse
  • already had 15GB free on /builds - should be fine

• bm-xserve05
  • need ~20GB for mac builds, l10n_verify, mac update verify
  • removed /builds/verify/*, /builds/tinderbox/Fx-Mozilla1.8-Nightly/Darwin_8.7.0_Depend, /builds/tinderbox/Fx-Mozilla1.8-l10n-release/Darwin_8.7.0_Depend, /builds/tinderbox/Fx-Mozilla1.8-release/Darwin_8.7.0_Depend
  • 33G free at start

• production-patrocles
  • driveE: already had 43GB free

• production-pacifica-vm
  • already 29.6GB free, plenty for update verify

• Landed and tagged updated bootstrap config

Setup master before starting:

• update mozilla/tools/buildbot-configs/automation/production/tb-master.cfg for most recent milestone of bootstrap
• as buildmaster@production-1.8-master, cd /builds/buildbot/Thunderbird-Automation/buildbot-configs. Check for local diff, revert any changes from last release, dry run a cvs up, then cvs up
• master.cfg and tb-master.cfg is "Locally Modified" to contain passwords; identical to repository version otherwise.
• Ran 'buildbot reconfig /home/buildmaster/Thunderbird-Automation'
• Buildbot waterfall is here (MPT-VPN); this is a separate instance from the Firefox master, with production-prometheus-vm and bm-xserve05 running a slave for each master

Login to productioion-1.8-master as cltbld and start automation run:

buildbot sendchange --username=bhearsum --master=localhost:9990 -m"Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 build 1" release

Tag

• Tag failed out with:

None of ^WIN32_MODULE_PRODUCTVERSION_STRING=2.0.0.23pre$ found in file /builds/tags/THUNDERBIRD_2_0_0_23_BUILD1/cvsroot/mozilla/mail/app/module.ver: Inappropriate ioctl for device at /builds/tags/THUNDERBIRD_2_0_0_23_BUILD1/tools/release/version-bump.pl line 142.

• • This is because Tb nightlies were never version bumped to 2.0.0.23pre after 2.0.0.22.
• Checked in a version bump, updated and retaged bootstrap config
• Had to undo the branching to get Bootstrap to retag:

cvs rtag -B -d GECKO181_20090812_RELBRANCH mozilla/

• Restarted automation with another sendchange
