L10N changesets

Asked about these, as these are off Aurora and we don't have processes in place for that.

This link will change over time, so won't be useful for verifying later.

  • 13.0b2 build2 spin1 had an empty l10n-changesets_mobile-beta.json ; this will probably remain true until the beta uplift on 6/5.

Notes

Build 1

Diff mozconfigs

If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.

They look reasonable, but will break on release sanity; will use -m.

Preparing to start Automation

Build

Fennec

  • Android build died during compile: slave lost.
    • It rebooted in the middle, possibly due to a system clock change.
    • Rebuilt, finished fine.
Fennec repacks
  • Android single locale repacks failed to repack anything... ran through the script without errors, with empty locale lists.
    • Wrote a patch
    • Reran on [a patched mozharness] mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave08 without chunking args:
# cltbld@mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave08
cd /builds/slave/rel-m-aurora-andrd-rpk-4
scripts/scripts/mobile_l10n.py --cfg single_locale/release_mozilla-aurora_android.py --tag-override FENNEC_14_0b1_RELEASE
    • This worked.

Android Signing

  • Wrote a patch to sign aurora.
  • This worked, but threw a lot of errors (all single locales for android-xul; multi for android). Filed bug 750976.

Reset reserved slaves

Done.

Build

Fennec

Noticed android-xul multilocale had 0 locales.

Landed fix; re-clobbered and forced Android-xul build.

Fennec repacks

These uploaded to build 1 :(

Wrote a patch, ran 

scripts/scripts/mobile_l10n.py --cfg single_locale/release_mozilla-aurora_android.py --tag-override FENNEC_14_0b1_RELEASE

on linux-ix-slave22.

Android Signing

Noticed that we didn't have any Android native l10n repacks to sign; went back and fixed.

2nd pass was good.

Reset reserved slaves

Done.
