439983 - Push XULRunner 1.9RC3 to release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

XULRunner RC3 appears to be stable and now that Firefox has gone gold, we need to do the same for XULRunner. I'm not sure what all needs to happen to push XULRunner RC3 to release, but I assume it's more than copying some files.

Not really. Somebody should make release notes (see http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner_1.8.0.4_Release_Notes) and link them from the MDC XULRunner page. But I don't think we need bouncer links for this or anything like that.

I was thinking that we should make gpg signatures at least, and bouncer would provide a way to track downloads (to some extent). The files will be on the mirrors anyway, as pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases is carried there.

On second thoughts, how about this (plus gpg sigs):

./binaries
./binaries/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
./binaries/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.mac-pkg.dmg
./binaries/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.win32.zip
./sdk
./sdk/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.linux-i686.sdk.tar.bz2
./sdk/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.mac-i386.sdk.tar.bz2
./sdk/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.mac-powerpc.sdk.tar.bz2
./sdk/xulrunner-1.9.en-US.win32.sdk.zip
./source
./source/xulrunner-1.9-source.tar.bz2

The last is a copy of the firefox-3.0 source tarball.

We made a few changes based on discussion on IRC, and the bits are now pushed to
  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.0.0/

Once the mirrors sync up you can link to http://releases.mozilla.org, although ftp.m.o will probably be just fine.

mfinkle is going to do the release notes.
