Notes
Build 1
Preparing to start Automation
- Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
- clobberer
- I did "Any master" - "release-mozilla-beta" & "mozilla-beta" - "Any builder"
- Reserve slaves, e.g.:
[cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ pwd /builds/buildbot/build1/master [cltbld@buildbot-master08 master]$ cat reserved_slaves_bm08-build1 8
- For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved)
# ffxbld@stage [ffxbld@surf ~]$ cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly [ffxbld@surf nightly]$ mkdir ../candidates/12.0b5-candidates [ffxbld@surf nightly]$ ln -s ../candidates/12.0b5-candidates 12.0b5-candidates
- Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
- Instructions on how to get them
- dashboard
- Land automation configs (are you or buildduty going to reconfig? great, merge. otherwise double-land only your configs)
- Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags. (details)
- Sample command for Firefox 10.0 beta 5 build 1:
hg tag -f FIREFOX_10_0b5_RELEASE FIREFOX_10_0b5_BUILD1 hg tag -f FENNEC_10_0b5_RELEASE FENNEC_10_0b5_BUILD1 # bash shortcut: hg tag -f {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_10_0b5_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
- update and reconfigure the master
# Combined release cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 12.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \ --release-config release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py --release-config release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --products firefox,fennec \ --dryrun localhost:9001
- start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
