Notes

Build 1

Starting the Release

• Set reserved_slaves:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1
echo 8 > master/reserved_slaves

• Made sure had enough slaves to do the release.
  • 5 lion, 6 win32, plenty of linux - no need to do any additional locking
• Created the candidates directory:

# ffxbld@stage
version=14.0b11
product=firefox
cd /pub/mozilla.org/$product/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates

• Landed l10n-changesets and release config updates
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_14_0b11_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• Updated and reconfiged buildbot-master13
• Ran release sanity:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u kmoir -V 14.0b11 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001

• No issues discovered by release sanity, so I started the release:

PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u kmoir -V 14.0b11 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1     --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec  localhost:9001
