697389 - multilocale birch android nightlies, against l10n-central

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Please enable l10n for the mobile builds on birch?

We want them to be against l10n-central as long as birch tracks mozilla-central.

Currently birch only builds Android Opt.

As I mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698425#c3, we don't have the capability to produce single locale repacks for Android currently.

We can:

a) turn on mobile desktop builds on Birch, and repack those, like we're doing for m-c
b) turn on multilocale Android nightlies on Birch
c) figure out how to produce Android single locale repacks

(c) will take the most time but is most likely what we want.

native android builds don't run on desktop, so sadly that's not an option. Also, they don't support language packs, as the strings have to come from resources.arsc.

The only build that really makes sense without (hopefully) infrastructure changes is the android multi-locale build.

Taking this as the multilocale portion.
We also need to turn on single locale android repacks once bug 698425 (or whichever bug Axel is using to track his work?) is fixed.

Attachment: configs patch 2, results in a build with multilocale steps

If this goes green, we're good for r?

That worked!

Upload failed for multilocale, though, with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/post_upload.py", line 457, in ?
    func(options, upload_dir, files)
  File "/usr/local/bin/post_upload.py", line 194, in ReleaseToTinderboxBuilds
    ReleaseToBuildDir(TINDERBOX_BUILDS_PATH, TINDERBOX_URL_PATH, options, upload_dir, files, dated)
  File "/usr/local/bin/post_upload.py", line 190, in ReleaseToBuildDir
    os.symlink(tinderboxBuildsPath, tinderboxBuildsPathOld)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

However, it uploaded a multi apk; downloading that to see if I can install it.
I need to fix this before rolling out to production, however, or we'll have perma-red nightlies.

This error may be tied to the patched post_upload.py on dev-stage01.

* changed system language to deutsch (deutschland)
* launched Nightly; the popup for reporting performance was in english, but the start page was in german

birch multilocale nightly config, mozharness

These changes aren't actually needed, since we don't run the mozharness actions that use 'mozconfig' and 'repos'.

However, we do need to copy the mozilla-central_linux-android.json config to birch_linux-android.json due to logic in generateBranchObjects().

Merged + reconfiged masters.
Kicked off an Android birch nightly; it's got the multilocale steps.
Assuming it goes green and works, we're done here.
RESO FIXED, boo ya.

I tested the build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-birch-android/ and I wonder if what I'm seeing is right.  The Gecko content is properly localized (into Polish in my case), i.e. about:addons, netError pages etc.

The native UI, however, is still in English.  Do I need to complete some missing translations, or maybe wait for bug 701833 to be resolved first?
