648041 - Need nightly Firefox 4.0.x updates re-enabled or "test" channel for QA to use to test nightly 4.0.x updates

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

We're shipping a Firefox 4.0.1 fairly soon. Right now, QA cannot do any update testing because the update channel does not point to any of the 4.0.x builds. This makes it difficult to work on fixing issues we've had with automated update testing and specific 4.0.1 update testing.

We either need the update channel re-enabled or a test channel created for QA to use for this release.

I propose the we 
* bump the version in mozilla-2.0 from 4.0pre to 4.0.1pre
* set up a rule in the aus config that maps versions like '4.0.*' to mozilla-2.0 snippets
* keep the existing rules that map m-c nightlies with 4.0* and 4.2* version to m-c nightlies

This allows us continue to convert m-c users to 4.2a1pre builds while also provide the updates QA needs. 

LegNeato and/or bsmedberg - can we go ahead with that ?

This is on top of your Aurora patch. It should catch anything 4.0.* before we hit the rule that sends people to m-c builds.

This cleans up the config a bunch, removing Thunderbird and Sunbird nightlies no longer served from aus2.m.o, and consolidates all the m-c class branches together without a specific version match. Tested on aus2-staging.

Prep to deploy this, bug 648067, and bug 647328:

$ cd webtools/aus/xml
$ cvs tag AUS2_PRODUCTION
W inc/config-dist.php : AUS2_PRODUCTION already exists on version 1.125 : NOT MOVING tag to version 1.128
$ cvs tag -F AUS2_PRODUCTION
T inc/config-dist.php

$ cvs tag AUS2_RTM_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
(which created AUS2_RTM_201104081109).

We got a 4.0.1pre nightly last night (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2011/04/2011-04-08-03-mozilla-2.0/), and it'll update to the next 2.0 nightly tomorrow. Builds which are 4.0pre will still go to m-c.

All done here.

Nick, the builds still have the Minefield branding. Will that be solved by another bug?

Comment 12

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

Yes, that's bug 640589.

Thanks. Works like a charm otherwise.
