Build 1

Starting the automation

• Created milestones for Fennec and Firefox using the l10n dashboard & downloaded changesets (still need to ship them)
  • Fennec
    • Clicked "Ship", then "Ship it" (to confirm that I wanted to ship even though there were pending signoffs).
    • Clicked "Shipping Tools"
    • Made sure "android" was the only platform listed, and "android-multilocale" was listed for multi-locale file, then clicked "Add"
    • Made sure "releases/mozilla-beta", "default", "mobile/android/locales/maemo-locales" were in the new fields, then clicked "l10n-changesets.json"
    • Downloaded the changesets from the resulting link
  • Firefox
    • Clicked "Ship", then "Ship it" (to confirm that I wanted to ship even though there were pending signoffs).
    • Clicked "Shipping Tools"
    • Clicked "l10n-changesets" and downloaded the resulting file
• Set reserved_slaves to 6
• Landed config updates, transplanted to the production branch
• Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_16_0b6_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• Updated and reconfiged bm13
• Ran release sanity:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg \
   -V 16.0b6 --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

• All green, ran without --dryrun to start the automation
