Notes

buildbot-master25

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

• Set a clobber for "any master", "mozilla-esr10", "any builder". This isn't strictly necessary, but cleaning up the build directories ahead of time speeds things up a bit.
• Set reserved slaves

(build1)[cltbld@buildbot-master25 master]$ echo 2 > /builds/buildbot/build1/master/reserved_slaves

• landed configs, tagged, updated the master, reconfigured
• sanity check:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail \
 -V 10.0.9esr --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 \
 --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-esr10.py --products firefox  \
 --dryrun localhost:9001

• failed with the following:

• Meh, who cares about l10n dashboard for ESR?
• Start the automation

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail \
 -V 10.0.9esr --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 \
