:nthomas: What is the timeline to get two funnelcakes for the 38.0.5 release?

Comment 2

So far away from me ... so far I just can't see ...

More seriously, it shouldn't be any problem to produce them at the same time we spin 38.0.5 itself.

:nthomas: if 38.0.5 launches on June 2nd, when should we expect these funnelcakes to be ready?

Chris, looks like the plan is to build Mon 25th May, so I'll make sure this patch is landed prior to that.

Nick, it looks like we are going to third funnelcake as a control in our a/b test.

* Firefox 38.0.5 release channel
* en-US
* Win32
* Full installer (no stub)

* 3 funnelcakes ID: 37, 38, 39
* 3 products in bouncer:

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-38.0.5-SSL-f37&os=win&lang=en-US
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-38.0.5-SSL-f38&os=win&lang=en-US
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-38.0.5-SSL-f39&os=win&lang=en-US

They are all the same, just different IDs and different bouncer entries. 

Let me know if this ads much to the scope.

Thanks!

Extended the patch to include funnelcake39, carrying r+ over.

New ETA for 38.0.5 RC start is Thursday 21st. Nothing else planned before then so I landed:

Builds are out, eg

TODO:

Comment 10

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

There are new builds, eg
  http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/38.0.5-candidates/build4/partner-repacks/funnelcake37/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2038.0.5.exe

funnelcake37 --> funnelcake38 or funnelcake39 for the other two.

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Thanks for the update, Nick. What specific date can I expect the DMO links to be live for complete testing?

Comment 12

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

We normally push the day before, so June 1st. Does that leave you enough time ?

Yes, that should be fine. 

Will these be the DMO links once they are live?

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-38.0.5-SSL-f38&os=win&lang=en-US
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-38.0.5-SSL-f39&os=win&lang=en-US

Comment 14

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Yes, that's consistent with last time (Firefox-35.0.1-SSL-f36, case doesn't matter).

Comment 15

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

The bouncer links are live.

Comment 16

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Removed from partner-repacks repo to prevent more builds being created:
 https://hg.mozilla.org/build/partner-repacks/rev/c0a00842eed1

Closing now, don't hesitate to reopen if you find problems.
