428074 - Tracking bug for Build and Release of FF3.0 RC1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P1)

Description

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

Placeholder bug, while we wait for development codefreeze.

Comment 1

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Besides the normal checks for mozconfig and tinder-config divergence, we'll need to remember to change:
* in the en-US mozconfigs, use  --enable-update-channel=release 
* in mozilla/tools/patcher-configs/moz19-branch-patcher2.cfg, add "release" to channel declaration in the current-update block

Also noticed that we have this sort of thing
 ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -g
stabs+"
in both nightly and release mozconfigs for l10n. We moved to a plain --enable-optimize for en-US, so we should probably eliminate this for consistency. IIRC there aren't any executables created for the locales, except the setup.exe & helper.exe on win32 and those are NSIS apps (should check this).

Into setup mode we go, awaiting code freeze still.

Attachment: [checked in] Switch to the release channel

There wasn't anything to bring over from the nightly tinderbox configs, so this is just the switch to the release channel.

Attachment: [checked in] Update buildbot config

Sets the bootstrap tag to RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9, and fixes up a step description I missed in bug 428063.

And master reconfiged (after a local mod to disable the nightly builds in training - but not shark or linux64).

Attachment: [checked in] Update buildbot master to use RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9_1

This picks up the three changes since RELEASE_AUTOMATION_M9
* fix regression in client.mk tag replacemet (attachment 319970 [details] [diff] [review])
* use the right version for the previous release in update verify (attachment 319983 [details] [diff] [review])
* teach GetOldVersion to return long names for RC's (attachment 319990 [details] [diff] [review])

We definitely need the first for 3.0 rc1 build1, the other two we want for 3.0 rc2 builds.

Attachment: WIP for fx-moz19-bootstrap.cfg

This needs the pull dates for tagging but should be otherwise complete.

Attachment: [checked in] Update fx-moz19-bootstrap.cfg

Summary of the changes here:
* Add current cutoff times for cvs (pullDate for /cvsroot might still change, updated from the WIP)
* use the new appVersion var to separate the name of the release (3.0rc1) from the version used in the app (3.0), from bug 428063. Also leave a comment so that we don't forget to set oldAppVersion when 3.0rc2 comes around.
* update the tag for patcherToolsRev to the latest (for 428063 & 428650)
* use dm-symbolpush01.mozilla.org for symbol upload as it's been reliable for nightlies and is the glorious future

Reminder of changes since we last did a release
* rc's are now called build's (bug 428063)
* no longer using the buildbot master as a staging server (bug 415970) so the externalStagingServer vars went away, and stagingServer/sshServer became stage-old.m.o
* another change in bug 415970 makes the slave copy the configured bootstrap config from the just-completed bootstrap checkout, rather than download it from the master. This means we no longer need to cvs update the bootstrap config on the master, but we do need to move the automation tag (since we do releases by pulling from a tag).

"Back out bug 432938 because it caused bug 433241" moved the pullDate for to 2008-05-11 13:15 PDT. May also get another checkin for bug 433192 so waiting for a final timestamp before continuing.

Attachment: update bootstrap.cfg cutoff time for cvs repo

Per email on dev.planning, now using pullDate of 2008-05-11 17:50 PDT for cvs repo.

The l10n change was landed in earlier patch. The only change here is the cvs repo cutoff time.

Comment 16

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Resolving this bug, let's use a new one for a RC2 (if req'd).

Comment 17

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Forgot to say that there's no version bump to be done if a RC2 is req'd, and we'll bump to 3.0.1pre if it isn't.
