1862456 - The Firefox Nightly .deb package is published ~1hr after the Nightly build is available in aus.m.o

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, defect, P3)

Description

[Gabriel Bustamante [:gabriel]]

The task that publishes the update to the update service only depends on the task that uploads the Linux build to the archive.

The task that uploads the .deb package to the APT repository, depends on that task plus tasks that repackage the Firefox build and langpacks into .debs.

The issue is that we batch our calls for the APT repository upload, so the task that uploads the main Firefox binary also depends on the tasks that repackage the langpacks into the l10n .debs.

The l10n part of the automation takes a while to complete (about an hour) so the task that uploads the packages to the APT repository runs about an hour after the one that makes the nightly build available through the update service.

Since the l10n is not bundled with a build, it might be better if we publish everything at the same time.

I believe this is wontfix/works as it should.

I agree.
