Notes

Build 1

Preparing to start Automation

Release:Release Automation on Mercurial:Documentation#Starting_the_automation detailed instructions

  • Set clobbers for the appropriate masters. Doing this 24-48 hours in advance should speedup the build.
  • Reserve slaves, e.g.: 
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ pwd
/builds/buildbot/build1/master
[cltbld@buildbot-master13 master]$ cat reserved_slaves 
8
  • For build1 only, create a symlink for your $version (eg 11.0b4, 10.0.2esr, 10.0.2, 3.6.27) (until bug 725839 is resolved) 
# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
mkdir ../candidates/$version-candidates
ln -s ../candidates/$version-candidates $version-candidates



 hg tag -f FIREFOX_13_0b4_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
  • updated and reconfigure the master locally (full reconfig will be done later via fabric) 
#cltbld@buildbot-master13
cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py --dryrun \
    -u kmoir -V 13.0b4 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 \
    -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py \
    --products firefox localhost:9001
  • start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. beta)
    • the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"
