714542 - Mac build uses pretty naming for *.checksums files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

Attachment: rename mac checksums file

http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/9.0-candidates/build1/mac/af/
vs
http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/9.0-candidates/build1/unsigned/win32/af/
and 
http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/9.0-candidates/build1/linux-i686/af/

It would be great to use the same pattern for all platforms what will simplify my snippet generation work for bug 607389.

I'm not sure where these checksums files are used, so before forwarding this patch to Core/Build Config I wanted to get feedback.

The patch will be required for Firefox 11.0 release automation where we introduce signing of binaries and MAR files as a part of build process. We need to use *.checksums files to generate snippets without downloading complete MAR files for current and previous releases and generating partial MAR files. It should reduce release end-to-end time at least for 1h.

User impact if declined: None, the "*.checksums" files are used by automation.
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): the patch baked in m-c for a couple of days and passed staging release automation.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): low

Approved for Aurora - 1hr off the release sounds like a great win!

It would be great to port this functionality to the ESR branch what would allow RelEng dropping manual signing. This feature has been tested for 4 betas and worked just fine.
