1428968 - do a staging release of 58.0

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, enhancement)

Description

[Jordan Lund (:jlund)]

@aki, I heard you may be doing a staging run of 58.0 (simulate m-b->m-r) to validate recent tcmigration work. If so, that covers this bug. If not, we should do one prior to RC.

Are there any changes we should be aware about from tcmigration? Can we do fennec staging runs too?

Hm, I'm slightly confused but blame the holidays for that :)  

Did we land any tcmigration changes in 58 to be concerned for 58.0 once it reaches mozilla-release? All I can recall are the automation ones in releaserunner and such. But nothing code-wise build/running. 

AFAIK, all the code we've landed tcmigration related past Quantum was in mozilla-central. So the staging release Aki is considering doing this week is mostly related to the upcoming Devedition 59.0b1 (and soonish Firefox counterpart too). 

Please take this with a grain of salt as I might be wrong. 
Either way, I think doing a 58.0 staging release prior to RC is definitely a good idea.

I forgot the poke.

IDK. Hence why I'm sanity checking :)

Thanks for that, sounds like I shouldn't be concerned.

I did a test mc->mb, since beta will have our latest tc relpro work with 58.0b1, but no plans for mb->mr.

We're far along in the 60+ releases now, I think this bug has outlived its usefulness.
