613301 - Investigate using mac instead of mac64 for nightlies/release of Intel-only mac universal builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

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

Historically we've used a mac directory on ftp for releases, and osx in bouncer, and firefox-$version.$locale.mac.dmg to describe the Mac universal builds. Now that we've switched from ppc+i386 to i386+x86_64 universal we've started using mac64/osx64, which is a consequence of the way buildbot is set up to support the old universals and new ones. This bug is to investigate reverting that change, which we did manually for the 4.0b7 release.

Things that need changing/checking
* naming of nightly files and release directory is MOZ_PKG_PLATFORM at
 http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/package-name.mk#61 - can be fixed as bug 600931
* need to use the right os=foo in bouncer urls, and mac in betatest, for snippets. Patcher needs all sorts of love to cope with the changes in the Mac BUILD_TARGET (bug 552924), which is tracked in bug 583671
* the bouncer submitter needs to have the config file updated to insert the correct paths

Hopefully things like the SUMS files will fall out automatically, similarly sendchanges for tests/talos.

For 4.0b7 we used these manual corrections

Sorry, I won't have time to look at this. Ben may be doing related work in the bug 583671.

Yeah, I plan to look at this when I get around to looking at the updates. I'll grab this for now.

So far, after applying all patches from bug 600931 (staging), the builds and l10n repacks look good. The first build went orange, because there was no previous build with the same file name pattern. The second one wen green. Complete and partial snippets for AUS2 also look good.
