L10n revisions according to opt-ins as taken from the sign-off tool (and pushed ship-it).
Notes
Build
- Made sure all build machines have clean release directories.
- With clobberer
- Updated buildbot-configs for l10n and configs
- Updated and reconfigured buildmaster
- Kicked off with the following command:
bin/buildbot sendchange --username=ewong --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/comm-beta -c "SeaMonkey 2.12b3build1" doit
- Tagging finished fine.
- All Builds good except macosx64_build, which timed out.
- Had to set properties on the macosx64_build and clicked rebuild.
- it built ok. Now need to manually run the osx64 repacks.
- All repacks good.
Update Version for stage scripts
On stage-old.mozilla.org, modified ~/versions.sh for the current release run.
Signing
- We have no signing infrastructure for SeaMonkey right now, so I faked the signing step that is usually done after completion of builds and L10n repacks and before the update generation.
- Logged onto stage-old.mozilla.org and ran
sh ~/fakesign.sh
- signing good
Send info to metrics
As per notification in e-mail, we do not need to send metrics in.
Updates and Verification
- _l10n_verify and updates started automatically, triggered by the fake-signing.
- L10n verification is mostly useless, since we have lots of expected changed strings.
- Then Update was good.
- Update Verification was good.
Copy Language Packs
Used langpackmove.sh
as documented in 2.0b1 notes to move the langpacks into the directory we want them in for release.
Zipcopy
Used zipcopy.sh
as documented in 2.0b1 notes to move the Windows zips into the directory we want them in for release.
Create Checksums
With make-checksums.sh
as documented in 2.0.3 notes, created MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS files containing all files we release - copying the README from last time and replacing the versions as needed, as well as doing the same for Linux x86_64.
Push To Mirrors
Used mirrorpush.sh
as documented in 2.0.3 notes to finally push the files to the public dir for mirrors to pick them up.
Push build to TrendMicro
I used the TrendMicro provided staging ftp directory to stage 2.11b6 win32 (all locales) for them to scan, and be sure there are no false-positives.
- Used |viruspush.sh| on stage for this.
E-mailed our TrendMicro contact to let him know of the new version available on their FTP server.
Final Verification
Used 'Force Build' to start the final_verification builder; all tested URLs are HTTP 200 and 302 - ready for going public!
