1422069 - add BBB updates builder for in-tree relpro

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, enhancement)

Description

[Mihai Tabara [:mtabara]⌚️GMT]

Once we have the release balrog stuff in-tree, we can proceed with adjusting the balrogscript code to also handle the "updates builder" logic within in. 

That means publishing top-level release information.
We already have those calls from the updates builder so I only need to find the proper way to integrate that within the existing balrogworkers.

Attachment: add updates builder

Mihai, while you were out today I realized that we not only need to do this, but _also_ update the patcher and update verify configs. In the interest of expediency, I put together a patch that will simply start running the buildbot "updates" builder for now. We'll need to get rid of this as part of the no-bbb project, but I _think_ we can live with this in the short term.

This patch should start firing the updates builder correctly for all branches - including setting "channels" and "generate_bz2_blobs" correctly for RCs. I also added it as a dependency for the approptiate update/final verify builder, which _should_ make them work. The updates builder itself has no dependencies of its own - everything it needs to function is derived from ship-it/release configs.

I needed to add appVersion to the release config for this, which ended up in a few other places too. It's not doing any harm, but it's a PITA to only add it for this task. I can push harder on that if it's important.

Re-assigning to :bhearsum since he's doing the heavy lifting here.

Just for the record, I'm only taking care of running the existing updates builder as part of in-tree release promotion. When we start tackling no-bbb stuff, we need to do more (which may be done by me, or someone else).

You're right, title is confusing, let's change it to what the bug is related to.
Threre's a trello card that tracks the balrogscript updates builder anyway.
