408610 - Remove win32&mac&linux updates from alpha 2/3/4 to beta2

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

bug#408443 reports a problem when updating from:
gecko19a2
gecko19a3
gecko19a4
...to:
3.0beta2.

This is only a problem on win32 & mac - linux updates just fine. Updating from all the other alphas work fine. 

We believe the updates themselves were generated correctly, so cause of this regression is unknown. Rather then hold beta2 for this, we are removing the updates from alpha 2/3/4 for win32 and mac. Bug#408443 is now blocking M11, and once its resolved, we can update those users as part of beta3.

skip generating snippets for alpha2/3/4 on win32 and mac until bug#408443 is resolved.

Comment 4

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

From discussion in bug 408443, sounds like Linux updates need to be removed, too?

Comment 5

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

After some debugging with Seth and Tony, we are now going to remove:

a2,a3,a4,a5,a6... for all platforms.

It seems that a1,a7,a8,b1 should update just fine. Adjusting summary to match.

rob and john:  we can provide updates to a5,a6.

See bug #408443 comment #22 for why this is safe.

Turns out that alpha5 and alpha6 should be ok to update to beta2 after all.

Comment 12

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

updates for a2/3/4 verified no longer visible on betatest channel.

Comment 13

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

QA has verified the updates for a2/a3/a4 are no longer available on betatest channel.  This is confirmed for Windows, Mac, and Linux.   

Reopening this bug to build team, as we need to verify the same on releasetest and Beta channels also.

Comment 14

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

From offline IRC, confirmed that Build work is done with snippets for betatest, releasetest and beta channels. Keeping this bug open for tracking purposes only.

Comment 15

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

Actually, we can close this bug now, as we correctly shipped Beta2 without
updates from a2/a3/a4. 

Bug#408443 and bug#408751 track fixing this for future releases.
