[09:56am] coop: hrmmm, oldBaseTag was already set to FIREFOX_10_0b4 in release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py. don't suppose that's going to hurt anything
[09:57am] bhearsum: huh
[09:57am] bhearsum: i'm surprised that didn't cause problems for 10.0b4....
[09:57am] bhearsum: it would've affected update verify, for sure
[09:57am] bhearsum: hmm, just update generation actually
[10:00am] bhearsum: aha
[10:00am] bhearsum: jhford-work-away: oldBaseTag being FIREFOX_10_0b4 instead of 10_0b3 is why you got update verify failures

Preparing to start Automation

  • reserved 8 slaves
echo "8"> master/reserved_slaves_bm08-build1
  • Updated l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
  • Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags
hg tag -f FIREFOX_10_0b5_RELEASE FIREFOX_10_0b5_BUILD1 FENNEC_10_0b5_RELEASE FENNEC_10_0b5_BUILD1
  • update and reconfigure the master
  • dry run of release-sanity
cd /bui
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u coop \
 -pfirefox,fennec -V 10.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
 --dryrun localhost:9001
