Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect)

Description

[Andrei Petcu]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150112123848

Steps to reproduce:

Go to Firefox developer edition web site and try to download https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ or to this page https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#developer



Actual results:

The downloaded Firefox was version 36 (which should be the current Beta, not Aurora or Developer Edition)


Expected results:

Firefox Developer edition and Aurora should be on version 37. https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates Am I missing something? Sorry if this is not the right place to report such an issue :P

No, the version 37 will become Aurora today. See the detailed calendar linked from
http://release.mozilla.org/planning/2015/01/13/release-schedule.html

That calendar shows only stable releases, the calendar I posted also shows aurora and beta. Both beta and aurora have the same version. The issue is still present.

The calendar is correct. The release date means the release date of the Release (stable) channel and it's usually Tuesday, while Beta is released on Thursday and Aurora is released on Friday. That's the normal schedule.

This time, the Product Details, the data behind the site, has just not been updated yet.

The download links on www.mozilla.org have been updated to 37.0a2 but
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-aurora-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US
still offers 36.0a2 somehow. Handing over to the RelEng team.

Looks like we either missed it or something has changed in the process. Maybe the website used to use direct links in the past. I remember that we had to use bouncer for the first Dev Edition release due to high load. Probably that became the new standard. :)

I updated the bouncer entries and updated the documentation to avoid this in the future: https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=ReleaseEngineering%2FMerge_Duty%2FSteps&diff=1049265&oldid=1044843

Yeah, I was actually thinking about it -- I haven't seen the firefox-aurora-latest-ssl link before. I cannot find the changelog though.

Hehe, IIRC it supposed to be a "temporary" solution. :)
