In bug 1282782 we added a sourcestamp.txt file to the source tarballs generated along with out releases. However, it seems that the generated file is empty.

From a quick look to logs of the source generation task [1], this error stands out:

Ted, it looks like the changes from bug 1282782 don't work on a clobbered tree. It looks like the machines that package the source code just issue:

> ./mach configure

and don't do a ./mach build before calling ./mach build source-package. I was able to reproduce the problem locally:

Calling "./mach build" before packaging the source makes it work. However, I noticed one thing: if I quickly kill the build process right after starting it (1 second or 2) and try to package the source after that, the process doesn't fail and the sourcestamp.txt file gets correctly generated (at least locally):

> 0:00.11 /usr/bin/make -C /home/dexter/mozilla-central/objdir-ff-debug -j4 -s backend

This produces, at least locally, a sourcestamp.txt file without the build ID, but with the source revision.

@Ted, a few questions for you (given your experience with the build tools, but feel free to tell me who to ping if it's not you!):

1) How bad would be to do a "./mach build" for packaging the source-code? IMHO, it seems like a waste of resources, considering the time it takes to complete.
2) Is there a way to just do the build steps that we need in order to get the BuildId and the MOZ_SOURCE_URL? [1]
2a) What are the required steps there? :)

Yeah, let's not do that.

So we were somewhat aware of this when you wrote your patch, as you made the `source-package` target run make to generate source-repo.h, but apparently we missed a spot. It took me a little while to figure out what's going on here, to be honest!

The `make-sourcestamp-file` target has this innocuous-looking rule:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/25a94c1047e793ef096d8556fa3c26dd72bd37d7/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk#104

...but it turns out that $(BUILDID) is defined as a $(shell) command here:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/25a94c1047e793ef096d8556fa3c26dd72bd37d7/toolkit/mozapps/installer/package-name.mk#152

So that's trying to print a value out of application.ini or platform.ini, and those don't get generated unless we build in toolkit/xre:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/25a94c1047e793ef096d8556fa3c26dd72bd37d7/toolkit/xre/moz.build#210

That's pretty silly. So there are two things you could do to fix this:
1) Stick a `$(MAKE) -C $(DEPTH)/toolkit/xre/ misc` line before `$(MAKE) make-sourcestamp-file`, to generate platform.ini so that $(BUILDID) definition works.
2) Change the BUILDID definition to instead be like `$(shell awk '$$2 == "MOZ_BUILDID" {print $$3}' buildid.h)` to fetch the value directly from buildid.h instead of in the roundabout way from application.ini/platform.ini. I guess ideally we'd just write the build ID to a plain file instead of only a header so we could just make that $(shell cat $(DEPTH)/buildid) or something simple like that, but that might be slightly more work.

Either way that should unstick this. Sorry for not catching that in the first place, it's sort of a ridiculous situation.
Flags: needinfo?(ted)
Thanks and don't worry for the review, Ted!

Unfortunately both options fail locally, at least for me.

The first, complains with

>  0:00.49 Makefile:21: *** Variable MOZ_BUILDID does not contain a value.  Stop.

And the second with 

>  0:00.60 awk: cannot open buildid.h (No such file or directory)

Sorry for the trouble :(

Oh, right, for #2 that needs to be $(DEPTH)/buildid.h. I don't know what's going wrong in #1, but #2 seems like a simple fix.

So, I tried that, but it's still not working. Moreover, if I don't remove the $(NSINSTALL) line, it still would fail with the infamous error:

> File "/home/dexter/mozilla-central/config/printconfigsetting.py", line 16, in <module>

While, removing the line (as in the attached patch) and changing the buildid line to $(DEPTH)/buildid.h, fails in this different way.

I'm really not sure what's happening here. That error should only be coming from the original definition of $(BUILDID) where it invokes printconfigsetting.py.

Ahh! We're not actually making buildid.h anywhere in the source-package rule! Change this line:
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/d3307f19d5dac31d7d36fc206b00b686de82eee4/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk#164

to be $(MAKE) -C $(DEPTH) source-repo.h buildid.h

I think that ought to fix that bit.

Thanks Ted! This works perfectly (on my system :-D).

That's how I tested it, from my HG repo:

> ./mach clobber
> ./mach configure
> ./mach build source-package

The output of the last step is:

> 0:00.14 /usr/bin/make -C /home/dexter/mozilla-central/objdir-ff-debug -j4 -s backend
> 0:00.21 /usr/bin/make -j4 -s source-package

> 0:00.27 source-repo.h
> 0:00.27 buildid.h
> 0:00.68 Packaging source tarball...

And the sourcestamp.txt file contains:

> https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c65f6e42304cda4c18ddc5808f5f82ef69dd6cb3

So we should be good. Is there any way to test (other than a push to try) that removing the "$(NSINSTALL) -D $(DIST)/$(PKG_PATH)" line doesn't introduce any regression?

I think that's not used for anything anymore. I would bet it is leftover from the prettynames support, which was just removed in bug 1329355. I checked and yeah, it was set in that case:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/318f1bcd336e#l4.75

Now it's just always set to the empty string:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/d0462b0948e0b1147dcce615bddcc46379bdadb2/toolkit/mozapps/installer/package-name.mk#55

So that line was just trying to effectively `mkdir $(DIST)` which is not very useful. Removing it is fine. I'm going to file a bug to remove PKG_PATH entirely.

I've just checked the Firefox 52b9 source [1]. Gah, it turns out this isn't printing the revision once again. It goes a bit forward: the sourcestamp.txt file contains the build id (and only that).

The log from the packager task doesn't really output any useful information: there's no error [2]. Ted, any idea why this could be happening?

Attached patch proposed updated patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
At the beginning of the make-sourcstamp-file part, $(DIST)/$(PKG_PATH) doesn't
exist, so NSINSTALL must be used.

Also, since PKG_PATH already has the trailing /, I didn't feel it was
necessary to add another one at the end of PKG_PATH for MOZ_SOURCESTAMP_FILE etc..

Compared to the previous patch this is also missing making buildid.h in the source-package target. Is that intentional?

Is it really a good idea to touch more lines than necessary here? We already had unexpected breakage from the last patch.

Maybe MOZILLA_OFFICIAL is missing?
To clarify, the repo URL is only written (to either source-repo.h or sourcestamp.txt) if `MOZ_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO` is set, and configure only sets that if `MOZILLA_OFFICIAL` is set.

True, and I doubt it would make any difference with having // or /, I
just felt it would look less unwieldy to have just one /.

I'll update the patch.

Unfortunately, testing this locally isn't so useful (as I found out the hard way :-( ).

To be absolutely certain that nothing weird happens around merge day, we should test this patch using the same job that packages the source code on the merge day.

And that's where I got stuck.

I tried it on a SeaMonkey linux64 builder using the same process as given in the 
source step log and it seems to do what it intends to do.  

Perhaps someone with access to the TB Linux64 builders can try it out, if
it makes any difference?
Can we talk to RelEng and figure out how to get their source package task into the in-tree task definitions so you could at least run it on try? It already runs on taskcluster so I can't imagine it'd be terribly hard to wire up.

I asked rail on IRC if we could move that into m-c so we could trigger it on try and he indicated that the only thing stopping it was someone finding time to do it.

Neither the firefox-60.6.3esr nor firefox-66.0.5 package has content in sourcestamp.txt

Not that I know of, I transitioned to a different project now :(

Rail, any chance someone with some build system knowledge could tackle this on your end? I don't think I'll have time :(

Now that we moved all release graphs to gecko, it should be straight forward to iterate on this.

After a quick search, I found that the source tarball is generated by this definition:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/taskcluster/ci/release-source/kind.yml

which uses this mozharness config:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mozharness/configs/builds/releng_sub_linux_configs/64_source.py

which uses the source-package target, which is defined in:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk#168

Something tells me that the make-sourcestamp-file targe is never called:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk#121

We can either try adding the make-sourcestamp-file target to the mozharness config file before the source-package, or add a dependency on make-sourcestamp-file in packager.mk.

Not sure which way is preferable.

Mike, maybe you have better ideas?

Oh, I was wrong, the source-package target explicitly calls $(MAKE) make-sourcestamp-file. It's something else that prevents it from being generated. Maybe it doesn't like the fact that we package sources without compiling the binaries (missing ini files in dist) or something related to --disable-compile-environment in .mozconfig.

Maybe we should be running this in a normal build environment with all build deps installed?

All mozharness tasks in taskcluster have MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET set to the correct value (here), which is the same as what gets put in application.ini (via here and here). So, at least in automation, when generating the source directly, we should be able to bypass looking at application.ini for the value.

From the packager.mk code, there are two values that are supposed to go into sourcestamp.txt - the buildid, and the MOZ_SOURCE_URL, which is something like https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified/rev/123abc...

The buildid part is failing with the platform.ini error, which is what the patches attached to this bug are intended to fix. Using ewong's r+'d patch seems to work locally for me, but I can't test on try (#c35).

The source url isn't getting written, and doesn't look like it was ever written, because we don't set MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 in the mozconfig (#c27, #c28). That should be a quick change to the linux64/source mozconfig:

diff --git a/browser/config/mozconfigs/linux64/source b/browser/config/mozconfigs/linux64/source
index 8bc6af77a7276..8ad4faf6b3fe7 100644

@@ -3,3 +3,4 @@
 # extra dependencies on specific toolchains, e.g. gtk3.
 ac_add_options --disable-compile-environment
 ac_add_options --disable-nodejs
+export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1

With ewong's patch and the mozconfig patch, I get a sourcestamp.txt file that looks like this:

$ cat sourcestamp.txt
20190523160757
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified/rev/c50b4c90d56a76d96c138adfc3562cc5f135257a

Is this what we want it to look like in the end? And rail, do you have a way to test those out in automation?

Oh, nice! Thanks for the help, Mike!

Shall we just land this then?

This is the same as ewong's patch in bug 1338099, just rebased and now
in phabricator.

The $(BUILDID) make variable tries to use either application.ini or
platform.ini to fetch the buildid, and if those don't exist then we end
up with an empty buildid. An error message is displayed, but it doesn't
cause the make invocation to fail because it happens inside a $(shell).
Instead we can fetch the buildid similar to the source url, by
generating buildid.h and grabbing the value via awk.

MOZ_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO is needed for us to write out the MOZ_SOURCE_URL
in sourcestamp.txt, and MOZ_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO is set in configure only
for MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 builds.

Depends on D32518

I meant "thank you very much", but somehow my selection clipboard from one the commits also ended up here :D

This is also a problem on esr68, should it be uplifted there?

ESR Uplift Approval Request

  • If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration: This patch is needed to produce a non-empty sourcestamp.txt file
  • User impact if declined: sourcestamp.txt in firefox source tarballs will be empty, making it hard to identify the origin commit and repository.
  • Fix Landed on Version:
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This change only affects a text file, not the browser itself.
  • String or UUID changes made by this patch:
