For snaps, we do push the release during the push phase courtesy to https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/taskcluster/ci/release-snap-push/kind.yml#l18 while the RC we publish to the beta channel during the ship phases of RC week. I wonder whether we should do the same for flatpaks.

This bug is to track that.

Attached patch patch stubSplinter Review

:jcristau suggested we should do this patch.

Dropping it here for posterity, along with the correct observations that snap store is kind of different in that uploading the rc doesn't make it live, there's a human step afterwards, so it's fine to do it at push time.

Blocks: flatpak

This lets us avoid shipping on flathub before the actual release.

And, upload flatpaks for firefox release candidates to flathub's "beta"
channel.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: flatpaks for 76 release candidates won't be available to beta users on flathub, and the 76 release will be available to stable users a day early
  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce:
  • List of other uplifts needed: None
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Mihai and I double checked the release graph diffs a few times so I'm reasonably confident, plus the counterpart for snap in bug 1632584 has an uplift request. But this can reasonably wait for 77.
  • String changes made/needed:

Tweak the timing of uploading Flatpak builds a bit to match what was done for Snap builds. Approved for 76.0rc1.

Forgot to mention, this worked like a charm in RC week - https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/tasks/LNbatA7CTR-euNmwquUMCw#artifacts
Thanks again :jcristau for this! \o/
