1151153 - Desktop Aurora button on www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#developer still points to 38

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect)

Description

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (privacy/fingerprinting team)]

The button to download Desktop Firefox on Aurora is still pointing to Firefox 38 rather than 39.  I checked over the steps to update product details and tagging in svn and they look correct. Lawrence had a look as well. I tried re-pushing at http://bedrockadm.private.phx1.mozilla.com/chief/bedrock.productdetails, but that didn't fix the issue.   I'm not sure what's wonky here.  

Updates are working from within the Aurora channel though, which is good.

Strangely, Android download links do point to 39.0a1. The all systems and languages page has the same issue

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/all/

This is not critical and doesn't have to be fixed over the weekend but should be addressed in the next few days.

The links on mozilla.org only points the "latest" version so there's nothing we can do here. I guess this a bouncer issue.

My expectation is that mozilla.org selects the latest version from the information in product-details. However, p-d correctly lists 39.0a2 as the latest version of Aurora. How does mozilla.org determine the 'latest' version?

I'm reassigning back to mozilla.org until we know that this is not a site problem. AFAIK this is not something that releng can fix.

The current Dev Edition links on mozilla.org are not depending on p-d, rather pointing the bouncer directly like this:

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-aurora-stub&os=win&lang=en-US
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-aurora-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-aurora-latest-l10n&os=win&lang=fr

So someone in releng needs to update the version info on the bouncer...

OK. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

Ben - Can you help investigate why the Aurora download links on bouncer are still pointing to 38 when they should be pointing to 39?

Non of the other /firefox/*/all/ pages use the "*-latest" product; they all use the specific version number. I believe this is because "*-latest" tends to be the stub installer when it's available for a particular platform and locale. Perhaps the fact that the dev edition page is using the "latest" product is a bug?

Comment 9

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

No, using the "latest" product for all channels is the plan, IIRC, and that's Bug 937865. We can probably solve it since the download code has been refactored.

The page at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#developer still links to 38 for Desktop.

Same issue as the /all/ page Liz. If you hover over the button you can see that it's just a link to download.mozilla.org (which is bouncer) with a product of "firefox-aurora-latest-ssl".

Has the bouncer been updated? I'm seeing 39.0a2 now.

Should be resolved now.

The modern script turns out not to be usable except on a linux laptop (or at least not mac laptop - see bug 1151633). I looked up the pre-script instructions in the wiki, and manually applied the changes listed there.

Verified that the download pages now link to 39.0a2.
