Notes
Build 1
- Nothing to do with l10n milestone for chemspills.
- Reserved slaves set to 8
- Master had enough slaves to do all builds/repacks, no need to move any around.
- Landed config file updates
- Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_16_0_1_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
- Updated and reconfiged bm12
- Ran release sanity:
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \ -V 16.0.1 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 \ --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \ --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-release.py --products firefox,fennec \ --dryrun localhost:9001
- Got error about mozconfig, just like 16.0. This one is ignorable. Turns out that armv6 shouldn't have been enabled at all. bug 798609:
2012-10-10 14:14:13,814 : ERROR : found in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/release but not in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/nightly: ac_add_options --enable-updater 2012-10-10 14:14:13,815 : ERROR : found in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/release but not in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/nightly: ac_add_options --with-branding=mobile/android/branding/official 2012-10-10 14:14:13,815 : WARNING : ac_add_options --with-branding=mobile/android/branding/beta not in android-armv6 ['ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=nightly', 'ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=${MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL}', 'ac_add_options --enable-warnings-as-errors', 'ac_add_options --with-ccache=/usr/bin/ccache']! 2012-10-10 14:14:13,815 : ERROR : found in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/nightly but not in mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/android-armv6/release: ac_add_options --with-branding=mobile/android/branding/beta 2012-10-10 14:14:15,754 : ERROR : Error verifying mozconfigs
- Got error about l10n dashboard milestone not existing. Also ignorable (we don't take l10n changes for chemspills):
2012-10-10 14:14:33,429 : ERROR : cannot find l10n dashboard at https://l10n.mozilla.org/shipping/l10n-changesets?ms=fennec16.0.1 2012-10-10 14:14:33,430 : ERROR : Error verifying l10n dashboard changesets 2012-10-10 14:16:32,045 : ERROR : cannot find l10n dashboard at https://l10n.mozilla.org/shipping/l10n-changesets?ms=fx16.0.1 2012-10-10 14:16:32,045 : ERROR : Error verifying l10n dashboard changesets
- With the only errors being ignorable, started the release with -b:
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum -V 16.0.1 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-release.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-release.py --products firefox,fennec -b localhost:9001
Fix repacks
Due to bug 799806, we need to add --enable-stdcxx-compat to our Linux l10n mozconfigs. This was done in https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/0029772efc8d. That revision was retagged, and 'rebuild' was used on all of the failed repacks (linux + linux64) to get them going again.
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-release.py
r-d was mailed automatically.
Publish Fennec
Google Play
Published through the Google Play store per docs.
Push the files
Edited ~ffxbld/push_fennec.sh on stage to point at 16.0 build1 and android/androidv6, ran it.
Updates
Update generation builder went red because we don't really support not generating a partial from the previous release, bug 800277.
Generate 16.0 -> 16.0.1 complete update
The locales list changed between 15.0.1 and 16.0, adding ach but we're going to neglect that here, so we can just grab the 15.0.1 snippets, munge the buildID and zap the partial.txt files.
# ffxbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/ mkdir -p Firefox-16.0.1-build1-16.0-test/Firefox rsync -av ../pushed/Firefox-16.0.1-build1-test/Firefox/15.0.1/ \ Firefox-16.0.1-build1-16.0-test/Firefox/16.0/ for d in Firefox-16.0.1-build1-16.0-test/Firefox/16.0/*; do mv -v $d/20120905151427 $d/20121005155445 done find Firefox-16.0.1-build1-16.0-test/Firefox/16.0/ -type f -name partial.txt -exec rm {} \; pushsnip Firefox-16.0.1-build1-16.0-test
Manually announced to r-d.
Release snippets, carrying straight on from the block above
rsync -av Firefox-16.0.1-build1/Firefox/15.0.1/ \ Firefox-16.0.1-build1/Firefox/16.0/ for d in Firefox-16.0.1-build1/Firefox/16.0/*; do mv -v $d/20120905151427 $d/20121005155445 done find Firefox-16.0.1-build1/Firefox/16.0/ -type f -name partial.txt -exec rm {} \;
Generate update verify configs and trigger
Do this one all manually, since it's fairly trival.
In each of the four each config files (tools/release/updates/mozRelease-firefox-*.cfg)
- copy the two 15.0 lines up to the top of the file, and make some modifications ...
- change to release="16.0" in both copied lines
- change the build_id to 20121005155445 in both copied lines
- change the 15.0's to 16.0's in the from="/firefox..." var in the first line
- move aus_server and to definitions to the first line, updating the to line to 16.0.1
Commit and move FIREFOX_16_0_1_{RELEASE,BUILD1}_RUNTIME tags.
Then forced update verify builders (from local machine)
for p in linux linux64 macosx64 win32; do for i in 1 2 3 4; do curl "http://buildbot-master12.build.mozilla.org:8001/builders/release-mozilla-release-${p}_update_verify_${i}%2F4/force" > /dev/null sleep 5 done done
Reset reserved slaves
Reset to 0.
Push to mirrors
After getting the go from RelMan, used "force build" to start the "push to mirrors" builder.
Run pushsnip
# ffxbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging ~/bin/pushsnip Firefox-16.0.1-build1
Unthrottle
RelMan asked us to unthrottle right after pushing. this patch was landed and retagged with AUS2_PRODUCTION. The push was done in bug 800473
Watched https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/1/Firefox/10.0.2/20120215223356/Darwin_x86_64-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64/ta/release/update.xml to verify that it landed successfully.
