663820 - Setup "mozilla-release" branch

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

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

As part of rapid release cadence, we will no longer be doing a new repo per each feature release (the old approach was to create release/mozilla-1.9.1, release/mozilla-1.9.2, etc. Instead we will ship a series of features releases from the same new "mozilla-release" repos.

The repo will live at hg.m.o/releases/mozilla-release. 
The l10n repos will live at releases/l10n/mozilla-release.

Update channel in the mozconfigs should be 'aurora'.

Is this a typo? We won't be doing nightlies here, AFAIK, and the release mozconfigs should be set to "release".

can I hijack this bug and get comm-release setup at the same time? Or shall I file a new bug?

Lukas, this is very similar to the mozilla-beta patches, except I trimmed out unnecessary config variables (a few from l10n, a bunch of nightly update related stuff). I've been testing in staging on
http://dev-master01.build.scl1.mozilla.com:8118/one_line_per_build
and
http://dev-master01.build.scl1.mozilla.com:8018/one_line_per_build

Ignoring the graph server/log upload failures (which are now fixed), things are looking good.

add mozilla-release branch

r+ with the change on mobile nightly mozconfig branding to release (currently it's beta) as per discussion in irc with bhearsum, who checked with mfinkle.

Attachment: add mozilla-release branch, updated mozconfigs

Per mfinkle, we're using official branding for the on-change builds here:
[10:02] <mfinkle> where we use beta branding for mozilla-beta
[10:02] <mfinkle> I suppose we should sue release branding for mozilla-release
[10:02] <bhearsum> ah

Landed on default.

This hit production. I had to land one bustage fix, because I forgot to copy over the 10.5 mac debug mozconfig. Otherwise, it's smooth so far.

I'm pretty sure we're all done here now.

I think we should disable XULRunner on this branch if there are no Firefox nightlies, and also the blocklist updates builder.

Both of your suggestions make sense to me, Nick.

This made it to production today. We're done here, again.
