Bugs hit

Enter any bugs pre-existing or newly discovered and filed during the release:

  • I started this release thinking that buildbot-master13 was the master to be used
    • this means that reserved_slaves was 0 for this master until just before starting it
  • L10n checks failed:

Notes

Build 1

Set reserved slaves

/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master12 master]$ cat reserved_slaves
8

Preparing to start Automation

detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
  • For build1 only, create symlinks:
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/13.0.1-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/13.0.1-candidates 13.0.1-candidates
  • Land automation configs
  • Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags.
  • update and reconfigure the master
cd /builds/buildbot/build1
source bin/activate
make update && make checkconfig && make reconfig
cd master
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 13.0.1 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 \
    --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-release.py --products firefox  \
    --dryrun localhost:9001
  • failed L10n checks (see bug hit section)
    • no other errors
    • run previous command with -b to skip
  • the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"
  • start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. release)

[ffxbld@dp-ausstage01 staging]$ ~/bin/backupsnip Firefox-13.0.1-build1

Snippets without WN page

cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
rsync -a Firefox-13.0.1-build1-test/ Firefox-13.0.1-build1-test-silent/
rsync -a Firefox-13.0.1-build1/ Firefox-13.0.1-build1-silent/

Enabling CDN

Update XULRunner wiki page

For major releases or chemspills, update the links on:

Also for older releases:

Check Throttling

See http://people.mozilla.com/~nthomas/update-watch/release/ for example AUS links

XXX: TODO: What do I do with this section?

Some links to check:

Push to Release Channel

[ffxbld@dp-ausstage01 ~]$ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
[ffxbld@dp-ausstage01 staging]$ ~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-13.0.1-build1-silent

Ask IT to update AUS for unthrottling

Update symlinks

Once we're signed off on the release channel. 

# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases
rm latest && ln -s 13.0.1 latest


Reduced CDN

  • armenzg reduced the CDN from 50k to 35k since we were over 70K already
  • nthomas found the European mirrors didn't have the update/win32 or win32/ directories, because the main distribution point there (mozilla.openap.net) was getting very slow transfer from pv-mirror01, bug 765441. We had only 70K uptake with the CDN on, and couldn't turn it off in that state. IT adjusted the geo-ip so that requests to releases-rsync from Europe went to anynymirror101.mirrors.tds.net (the North American primary) instead of openap. Uptake increased to 100K and the CDN was turned off
