Stability

Aurora

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854176 (across channels) still need QA repro action to hopefully reopen MS ticket for it.
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800347 is #2 but apparently devs don't know what could be going on. :(

Beta

• According to SoftVision QA, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881634 (#7 in b5) is fixed on Nightly but not 24.0b6, we'll follow crash stats in case volume goes down, but it might very well not.

Release

• No issues.

Mobile

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=890985 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=884047 are still topcrash regressions in 24.
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=901426 seems to be #1 on 25 now.

Beta (tracy)

• thanks to anthony for preliminary testing in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908134 - Figure out how to offer release build to beta users.

Roundtable

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908134

• Any other concerns regarding beta's ?

TODO for bug 908134:

• confirm valid signing for Mac OS 10.8
  • believe, need to verify linux not impacted
• confirm update beta9 -> rc candidate build -> beta1 of version.next
  • dont want a beta user to be prevented from getting future betas
  • can we throttle this (% of beta), limit risk ?
  • for all locales (stay within locale for updates)
  • handle the build#2 scenario
• confirm we have not endangered release users for MitM updates
• same for beta users
• does anything in automation check that buildid is going up incrementally?
• currently (on windows) they get a build that asks for updates on beta channel, and they are given beta mar but can't apply -- two settings: one for what channel, another for which updates are available but they don't match (in current testing)
• Need a staging release of 24.0 final and 25.0b1 with those changes (excludes)
  • Comprehensive testing of updates between 24.0b9 and 24.0(staging) and 25.0b1(staging)
  • updates-configuration files for beta/release (on releng) - will need to be added to the beta process automation
  • load balancing and protection of the final RC from mirrors/CDN and yet making them available later when needed
• No build-specific throttling in Beta yet
• Get metrics for Beta ADi to keep an eye-on here for spikes when this executes
• For 24.0, we're not doing the double build, because postmortem confirmed no-one gets to use them, so not useful, so dont bother. If we hit problem, we agree to chemspill. This risk is with FF24, FF24esr, TB24, TB24esr.

Actions

• lsblakk to verify deadline for Fennec23.0.2 partner handoff.
  • [DONE] confirmed with Mfinkle no deadline - likely go to build next week, still a non-urgent build
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881634 bajaj to send an email to :mattwoodrow
