Notes
Build 1
Preparing to start Automation
- Hit clobber
- No L10n changes for a .1 release
- Reserve slaves:
[cltbld@buildbot-master34 master]$ pwd /builds/buildbot/build1/master [cltbld@buildbot-master34 master]$ cat reserved_slaves 8</strike>
- create a symlink (since bug 725839 is not resolved)
# tbirdbld@stage cd /pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/ mkdir ../candidates/13.0.1-candidates ln -s ../candidates/13.0.1-candidates 13.0.1-candidates
- Land automation configs
- Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags.
- update and reconfigure the master
# make update does not work on this master due to bm34 having local changes cd /builds/buildbot/build1 source bin/activate cd buildbot-configs && hg pull -u && cd .. cd buildbotcustom && hg pull -u && cd .. cd tools && hg pull -u && cd .. make checkconfig & make reconfig cd master PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u armenzg -V 13.0.1 --branch comm-release --build-number 1 \ --release-config release-thunderbird-comm-release.py --products thunderbird \ --dryrun localhost:9001
- release_sanity fails due to mozconfig differences. You can skip with -m
- release_sanity fails due to missing L10n milestone. Skipped with -l
- start automation ← monitor progress on buildbot (e.g. comm-release)
- the same command as above but without the "--dryrun"

Before Release Day
Run backupsnip for release snippets
Do this the night before release day as it can take up to two hours.
#tbirdbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging ~/bin/backupsnip Thunderbird-13.0.1-build1
Push to external mirrors
- Remove previously added blacklisting entry from stage.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude
- Replace old version with the current one in stage.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-current.exclude
- Pushed to SVN to update stage.mozilla.org
Push to Release Channel
Once there is enough uptake and we get "go" from release driver.
#tbirdbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging ~/bin/pushsnip Thunderbird-13.0.1-build1
