Notes

Build 1

• Cleaned up previous releases' build dirs
• no l10n in this alpha
• Land version bump, reconfig production-master
• Dont use sendchange, because we dont want l10n/updates to happen. Just click forcebuild in buildbot master for the tag/source/build steps.

Tag

bug 514466 Upload symbols has two problems with files with more than one space in name. Firstly, the hash calculation here assumes the output looks like

 SHA1(dist/namoroko-3.6a1-crashreporter-symbols.zip)= 1210b518ae71241c853b7d9cf795f2e0ce90c855

and gets confused if there are spaces in the filename. Secondly, the quoting in the scp upload doesn't cope with multiple spaces. Mysteriously, it does cope with single spaces, eg Firefox 3.5.2.crashreporter-symbols.zip.

bug 514469 Problem in branding-land for complete mar.

$  make -C obj-firefox/ppc/tools/update-packaging 
mkdir -p ../../dist/update/mac/en-US/
MAR=../../dist/host/bin/mar \
         /builds/slave/macosx_build/build/tools/update-packaging/make_full_update.sh \
         "../../dist/update/mac/en-US//namoroka-3.6a1.complete.mar" \
         "../../dist/universal/Namoroka/Namoroka.app"
/builds/slave/macosx_build/build/tools/update-packaging/make_full_update.sh:  line 42: pushd: ../../dist/universal/Namoroka/Namoroka.app: No such file or directory

The last argument should be

"../../dist/universal/firefox/Namoroka.app"

instead. Something wrong in tools/update-packaging/Makefile.in.

Done. NB: this is unusual because we use Namoroko-Alpha1 as the product, and the files will live in /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/namoroka/alpha1/ on the mirrors.

Final checks before push

Each of the find calls should return no output.

cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6a1-candidates/build1/
find . ! -user ffxbld
find . ! -group firefox
find . -type f ! -perm 644
find . -type d -mindepth 1 ! -perm 755 ! -name 'contrib*'
find . -type d -maxdepth 1 ! -perm 2775  -name 'contrib*'

No Solaris builds at this point, so no output from any of these commands.

Push to mirrors

# login to another build machine as cltbld
# login from there to stage as ffxbld
mkdir /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/namoroka
rsync -av --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.txt --exclude=*unsigned* /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6a1-candidates/build1/ /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/namoroka/alpha1

NB: the mkdir is only required for the first alpha.

Had an issue with bouncer not reporting any uptake - turns out to be fallout from checking for zh-TW files. That works great for localized releases, because we don't get mirrors with partial content enabled, but not so much for an en-US only release like this. justdave added an exception to the bouncer sentry to resolve this (all paths matching '/namoroka/').
