Bugs hit

During this release we have hit the following bugs:

  • [NEW] bug 589914 - tag step should not fail on APPROVAL REQUIRED
  • [BLOCKED ON SCHEDULERDB] bug 553300 - we have to move 10.5 slaves to run l10n verification. The day we share pools with production we won't hit this. I added a note on the wiki note to remember to bring them over for the next release.
  • [BLOCKED ON SCHEDULERDB] bug 609887 - we currently run repacks in a subset of slaves. I moved slaves that were not in the subset for needed for macosx64_repack. I added a note on the wiki note to remember to bring them over for the next release.
  • [FIXED] bug 609932 - L10n Verification failed for Linux because we now have checksums
  • [ENHANCEMENT] bug 609981 - Create a TBPL page for Firefox-Release Tinderbox page. This will ease finding release unit test and performance test jobs going orange.
  • [FIXED][BLOCKER] bug 610708 - cannot add new locales through the tuxedo API because of HTTP 400 error
  • We (nthomas did) had to rename "mac64" to "mac", regenerate the checksums and new snippets. Very important for next release to watch for this. See section "Naming fixup" and following to learn all the details.
  • ja-JP-mac snippets were not generated. See section "Add ja-JP-mac"
    • We went live without partial updates for ja-JP-mac

Build 1

Setup

  • marked "any master" for "any release" for "any builder" to clobber (not connected to Build-VPN to force LDAP auth - https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer - check the date for one of release builders to confirm it worked)
  • moving slaves
    • from pm01:
      • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,10,17}, linux-ix-slave13
      • bm-xserve{15,18,19,21} We don't have 10.5 for this beta
      • moz2-darwin10-slave{18,19,40-43,45-46}
      • mw32-ix-slave{03,04,09,10,12}
    • from pm03:
      • moz2-linux64-slave0{1,2,8,9,12}

  • moved more slaves (see "Bugs hit" section - I did this after build jobs started)
    • from pm01:
      • moz2-darwin9-slave{05,06,07,09,11,12} - so we can do L10n verification
      • moz2-darwin10-slave{06,07,08,09,11,12} - so we can do L10n Macos64 repacks

  • received GO
  • closed TREE
  • submitted patch for review with new l10n-changeset and driver's changeset
  • Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom and tools

slave: linux-ix-slave13

  • No problems

Build/Repack

  • Linux: green, no problems

Unittests

Results

Looked at Firefox-Release tbox page to find orange jobs.

NOTE: Next time use the buildapi and call it with buildapi/revision/mozilla-central/297086a0fb61 (substitute the revision appropriately).

Oranges:

Signing

  • No en-US.xpi to remove from stage, bug 485860 is FIXED. May need reopening as no en-US.xpi in $platform/xpi either
  • Used instructions
  • Hit an error on the verify-asc target. Filed bug 609932Did I really file anything?. Fallout from the three new files
    • I think we removed the checksums files
linux-i686/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums
  • ran the fake-upload target manually, then upload
  • We had to respin l10n repacks and sign the files again
    • removed signed files from stage
    • rerun the signing step w/o any problem

L10N Verify

  • Linux L10n and Linux L64 verification failed with:
Unknown package type for file: firefox-4.0b7-build1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums
Unknown package type for file: firefox-4.0b7-build1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-4.0b7.checksums
  • bug 609932 - L10n Verification failed for Linux because we now have checksums
  • land fix
  • clobber
  • force build both builders that failed
  • All green

Updates

No problems

Special case for old mac universal builds

In this beta we are not generating the old ppc+386 universal builds for mac. Therefore we have to play a little bit with snippets to make them update to the new 32-bit and 64-bit updates.

To do so we are doing "Darwin_Universal-gcc3" and "Darwin_Universal-gcc3" directories with the contents of "Darwin_x86_64-gcc3" which point to beta7. We are also not giving partial updates from the old universal to the new universal since we don't have a partial mar for that case and it was not easy to generate.

Here is an overview of how we did it and in the following section the mkdir & rsync dance that we have to do.

#cltbld@aus-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
cp -r 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7-test 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7-test-fixed

# mkdir & rsync dance for each 3.7* and 4.0* directory
~/bin/pushsnip 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7-test-fixed
cd -

cp -r 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7-fixed
cd 20101104-Firefox-4.0b7-fixed/Firefox
# mkdir & rsync dance for each 3.7* and 4.0* directory
# we push the fixed snippets in a latter section
# after QA & rel-driver grants us to do it.

Add ja-JP-mac and swap to mac in dir names

We don't have any snippets for ja-JP-mac, probably because shipped locales says 'ja-JP-mac osx' and we don't handle that properly for macosx64 when creating the patcher config. We don't have a partial or snippets. FILE BUG?.

And we're swapping the ftp dir to mac from mac64, and bouncer from os=osx64 to os=osx (for continuity with previous releases).

Manual fix:

Return slaves

Put back

  • moz2-linux64-slave{01,02,08,09,12}, since that's half our linux64 build pool
  • mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave{08,10,17}, linux-ix-slave13

Update Bouncer

  • We hit "HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: BAD REQUEST" because in this release we have new locales that were not part of "b6" or 3.6.12
  • It seems that this will be fixed once bug 590493 is fixed
  • [BLOCKER] bug 610708 - cannot add new locales through the tuxedo API because of HTTP 400 error
  • wenzel updated the json files with the new list of locales that have never existed for neither the betas nor the stable releases.
+ak
+br
+en-ZA
+hy-AM
+lg
+nso
+son
  • we also discovered that a restart of the apacha server was needed to pick them up
  • wenzel also filed bug 610893 for avoiding the PHP library and the json to don't fall out of sync
  • manually updated the three locations for mac to use OS of 'osx' instead of 'osx64', and replace 'mac64' with 'mac' in the path (part of the continuity with previous releases effort)

Socorro product data updates

Everything looks good. I have checked for "4.0b7" and "4.0b8pre" on the "Products"-"Firefox" table (4th one below Fennec as of writing).

Please leave the following note (or improve it) for following betas:

If you don't see $version and $version-pre on the "Products-Firefox" table
then you should add it. Ignore it if you see those entries on the "Missing Entries" table.

Naming fixup

The buildbot setup leaves us with mac64 directories on the ftp server, and an expectation to use os=osx64 in bouncer. The mozilla.com maintainers would really rather not change from os=osx, so we're making everything match what we did for 4.0b6.

Rename on ftp server

Fix the file locations, but leave a symlink so that betatest keeps working for QA

# ffxbld@stage
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b7-candidates/build1
mv mac64 mac
cd update
mv mac64 mac && ln -s mac mac64

The mac64 symlink was removed after the modified betatest snippets were pushed live (see here).

--Rail 08:47, 6 December 2010 (PST): Removing mac64 symlink causes a failure of updates builder for the next version, which tries to use mac64 directory to download the previous release. I restored the symlink. See bug 616726 for more details.

Final verify

Patch to add ja-JP-mac to the list of locales for 4.0b4, b5, b6. That should test all the partial and complete update paths, but we should also write some lines to make sure the old universals have working update links too.

The only failure is that we don't have ja-JP-mac partials:
