Build 1

• Marked all builders for all releases on pm for a clobber -- https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/ has a Release Clobber option if you are not connected to Build VPN

• Moved the following slaves to pm:
  • from pm03:
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave10
    • mw32-ix-slave18
    • mw32-ix-slave15
  • from pm01:
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave02
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03
    • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave04
    • mw32-ix-slave02
    • mw32-ix-slave03
    • bm-xserve06
    • bm-xserve11
    • bm-xserve12
    • bm-xserve16
    • moz2-linux64-slave04
    • moz2-linux64-slave06
    • moz2-darwin10-slave05
    • moz2-darwin10-slave06

• Landed config patch
• Reconfigured pm (delete *.pyc files)
  • needed to delete some files on pm since it was out of space (deleted /tmp/tmp* and got 2.3 GB)
• sendchange to get things running:

buildbot sendchange --username=lsblakk --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b4 build1" Go

Tag

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave04

• I had not reconfigured pm (all that fun with checkconfig messing up distracted me!) and so the first run of tag did 4.0b3 tagging instead
• Beltzner had already given the request to cancel builds and wait for new additions to the 4.0b4 build2 so I re-did tagging (on the same slave) with force build after reconfiging and clobbering.
• Re-did build1 tagging with the correct config to cut the relbranch.

After tagging completed we stopped for:

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587922 (fix needed)
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585877 (backout)

Build 2

• Removed *pyc on pm moz2-master
• Clobbered the release builders (NOTE: do not be connected to Build-VPN)
• Used same l10n-changesets as build1 since Axel did not respond to ping
• Landed configs
• Reconfig & close m-c tree
• Sendchange:

buildbot sendchange --username=lsblakk --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b4 build2" go

Tag

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave04

• tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with FIREFOX_4_0b4_BUILD2, FIREFOX_4_0b4_RELEASE (and also did BUILD1 since that hadn't happened yet)
