Build 1

Starting the automation

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u jhopkins \
    -V 17.0b1 --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

The initial tagging build and Linux builds failed because mozilla-beta was configured to use mock (release automation is not using mock yet). Rail wrote a patch to allow release configs to override "use_mock" setting of the platform config (eg. pf['linux']['use_mock']). We also needed to restore the "disable mock" block for mozilla-beta in config.py.

Fix repacks

First we hit bug 799806. nthomas wrote a patch to resolve the iseue.

After that, Windows and Mac repacks worked fine but Linux hit:

make[4]: *** [test-array.so] Error 1

Catlee suggested that adding --enable-stdcxx-compat to the mozconfig would fix it. I (bhearsum) tested this by hand to verify, and then landed a fix in buildbot-configs: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/e0994e97bf3a. After retagging and testing one repack chunk, I triggered the rest.

Respin declared for the same issue as the 16.0 chemspill

Build 2

Starting the automation

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u catlee \
    -V 17.0b1 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 2 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py \
    --products firefox \
    --dryrun localhost:9001

Fennec beta tagging delayed due to SCL3 network issues. See bug 799347. Once the workaround was done: 

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u nthomas \
    -V 17.0b1 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 2 \
    --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
    --products fennec \
    --dryrun localhost:9001

which was clean, ran without the --dryrun.

Sign Android builds

Ran the following as cltsign@signing1: 

cd ~/signing-work/mozharness
hg pull -u && hg up -C
cd ..
python2.6 mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-beta.py

Problem with win32 'km' locale

The win32 km locale failed to build with the following error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "e:/builds/moz2_slave/rel-m-beta-w32-rpk-4/mozilla-beta/toolkit/mozapps/installer/windows/nsis/preprocess-locale.py", line 321, in <module>

Filed bug 800329. Release Management said we can ship without km, so we're not going to try to fix it for this release. Used "force build" to start the "win32 repack complete" builder to get downstream jobs firing.
