1175086 - Reimplement postrelease for S3 hosting

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect)

Description

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

*_postrelease
Issue: Removes index.html for Firefox, updates symlinks, updates bouncer aliases
Code: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/default/scripts/release/stage-tasks.py#l378
Fix: convert symlink a redirect (x-amz-website​-redirect-location) for top level dir ?
SWAG: Unknown until more technical investigation done

Also - some partner builds get copied too. See http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/default/scripts/release/stage-tasks.py#l206 for the code for that. We may need to re-host those somewhere.

It seems pretty clear that index files can go away (they probably don't make sense in S3, and we don't have the same sort of paranoia about people downloading early as we did in the past).

We talked a bit about whether or not something like the current "latest" symlink is necessary anymore. I'm tempted to do away with it now that we have stable Bouncer entries.

Partner builds are being reworked as part of another project (no bug on file yet though), and coop says we can ignore them here.

If all of this is true, this might be a no-op? At the most, I think we'd want to do the symlink-equivalent.

Attachment: kill everything except bouncer alias updates

Not quite a no-op, we need to remove the code that does symlinks et. al. Once we're fully transitioned there's probably huge swaths of this script that we can kill.

Please check that rehosting the partner builds is on Nancy's radar, or that coop in the loop with her, or we'll need to redo doSyncPartnerBundles() somehow.

Confirmed in bug 1181183 that coop will be handling that. I think I saw you loop Nancy in in e-mail at one point, too. So, I think the only thing left to do here is land this patch when we're ready to switch over...
