774903 - Fix Yandex distribution updates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect, P1)

Description

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Currently the Yandex partner distro is showing the Russian What's New page that says "Google is the default search engine".  This is incorrect for the distro so please disable the updates, suppress the What's New page for Yandex distribution then re-enable updates once disabled.

Their 14.0.1 mac build makes his request for updates:
AUS:SVC Checker:getUpdateURL - update URL: https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/14.0.1/20120713134347/Darwin_x86_64-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64/ru/release-cck-yandex/Darwin%2010.8.0/yandex/1.1/update.xml?force=1

confirming the channel we want is release-cck-yandex.

Create some update blocks:

cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/
for d in Firefox-14.0.1-build1/Firefox/*/*/*/ru; do 
  echo $d
  mkdir -p ${d/build1/build1-yandexblock}/release-cck-yandex/
  touch ${d/build1/build1-yandexblock}/release-cck-yandex/{partial,complete}.txt
done
backupsnip Firefox-14.0.1-build1-yandexblock
pushsnip   Firefox-14.0.1-build1-yandexblock

No further updates will be offered to 10 through to 13.0.1 Yandex users, all platforms.

Verification URLS:

Those all offered 14.0.1 until I deployed the snippets.

Pascal, are the changes to the website live? If so, we should unblock updates.

Comment 4

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Yandex hasn't reviewed yet the translation, I will push once Alexander and his team confirm that the text is good to go.

Update to whatsnew page pushed in r107617, we need to wait for the server to pick up the update about 20mn. If the server doesn't update (it happenned yesterday), an IT bug should be filed to restart apache.

Comment 6

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

thanks, pascal, much appreciated.

Lucas/Nick, once it's live we should clear the updates.

Comment 7

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

The server is not picking up updates, I asked webdev to look at it

Comment 8

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Filed bug 775084 to ask IT to restart the server to force an update of the page.

Comment 9

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

IT restarted the server, the updated whatsnew page is now on production.

Comment 10

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

Now that the new WN page is on production, let's re-enable updates for the Yandex repacks and also stop suppressing the WN page. Thanks!

Currently we have
* ru updates showing What's New after updates, except
* yandex updates are blocked

So could you clarify what you mean by 'stop suppressing the WN page' ?

I mistakenly thought we'd done more than block yandex updates. Let's just rollback that block.
