Build 1

Marked all builders for all branches (picking just one branch doesn't work right now) releases on pm for a clobber -- https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/ has a Release Clobber option if you are not connected to Build VPN
Moved Slaves to pm
- from pm01
  - bm-xserve{06,11,12,16}
  - mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04}
  - moz2-darwin10-slave{05,06,07}
  - mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03}
- from pm03
  - mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,11}
  - moz2-linux64-slave{01,02,03}
  - mw32-ix-slave{14}
Landed configs patch
Updated /tools/buildbotcustom, removed /builds/buildbot/moz2-master/*.pyc, checkconfig
Closed tree for tagging and then started automation with:

buildbot sendchange --username=lsblakk --master=localhost:9010 --branch=mozilla-central -m "Firefox 4.0b5 build1" Go

Tag

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems, re-opened tree. Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, tools with FIREFOX_4_0b5_BUILD1, FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE

Source

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave03

No problems

Build/Repack

Announce the build candidates dir link in the Releases wiki
Linux build/repack - no problems
Linux64 build/repack - no problems
Macosx64 build/repack - no problems
Macosx build/repack - no problems
Win32 build - no problems
- id repack failed because it lost the slave so I did a force build setting branch=id, en_revision&l10n_revision=FIREFOX_4_0b5_RELEASE, and locale=id
- id passed repack on second run

Returned slaves (all but 2 linux, and one per OS for post-signing)

mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{02,03} -> pm01
moz2-linux64-slave{02,03} -> pm03
moz2-darwin10-slave{06,07} -> pm01
bm-xserve{11,12,16} -> pm01
mw32-ix-slave{02,03,04} -> pm01

Unittests

Triggered properly, no problems.

Results

Linux/Linux64/Macosx64/Win32{win2k3,win7}/Macosx

Linux/Linux64
- opengl test suite orange, but is also orange in trunk and not exposed/scraped yet tracking:bug 580405

Linux64

Signing

en-US.xpi removed from stage bug 485860:

#ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b5-candidates/build1
rm en-US.xpi

Using instructions.

L10N Verify

The output of l10n verify is horrifically long due to the switch to omni.jar. Every locale has the files from chrome/ab-CD.jar moved into omni.jar, and when when you're unpacking said jars and using diff -N you get a lot of output.

linux and linux64 look fine
win32 has differences between the three nss chk files, which also affected 4.0b4. should be fixed by bug 592457

Updates

Update Verify

Several problems.

Win32 wasn't able to complete due to slave disconnecting (bug 592490)
update verify configs weren't bumped properly, bug 592570 - we tried to update 4.0b3 with 4.0b5 but then compare it against 4.0b4
- landed fix and reran (no clobber necessary for this, it lives in the tools checkout)
green on those runs

For each partial, output like

Only in source/bin: chrome
Only in source/bin/defaults: autoconfig
Only in source/bin/defaults: profile
Only in source/bin: modules
Files source/bin/omni.jar and target/bin/omni.jar differ
diff -r source/bin/removed-files target/bin/removed-files

WARN: non-binary files found in diff
WARN: check_updates returned warning for WINNT_x86-msvc downloads/Firefox Setup 4.0 Beta 4.exe vs. downloads/Firefox Setup 4.0 Beta 5.exe: 2

with a big snip in removed-files. The complete is the same except that it doesn't have the removed-files change, and chrome isn't empty:

Contents of source/bin/chrome dir only in source or target
3162460  280 -rw-r--r--   1 cltbld   Administrators   572843 Aug  16:00 source/bin/chrome/be.jar

On linux & linux64 this appears as

Only in source/firefox/chrome: be.jar

because there's still an chrome/icons/ left.

Notes:

empty dirs left over from files moving into omni.jar are expected, updater isn't allowed to remove them
removed-files is not included in partial updates for some reason (see make_incremental_updates.py), the diff is harmless though
omni.jar differs on win32 - fixed by bug 592369 ?
complete updates are leaving behind chrome/ab-CD.jar - filed bug 592574 - not urgent to fix

Only the omni.jar issue has known consquences.

Push to mirrors

Wait for email from driver before continuing (as I did not do so on this release)

# ffxbld@stage
rsync -av --exclude=*tests* --exclude=*crashreporter* --exclude=*.log \
--exclude=*.txt --exclude=*unsigned* --exclude=*update-backup* \
/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b5-candidates/build1/ \
/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b5

Add index.html to cover the files before release time:

# ffbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b5
curl -sL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=456169 | sed 's/Beta 1/Beta 5/g' > index.html
for dir in `find . -mindepth 1 -type d`; do cp -pv index.html $dir/; done

Sent email to r-d that push to mirrors was done.

Final verify

green on second attempt (once there was enough uptake)
returned last slave (mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave08) to pm03
sent email when mirrors were absorbed for testing at 9:19am PDT

Push snippets to beta channel

# cltbld@aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
