756666 - Thunderbird updates builder needs to build patcher tools from mozilla repo, not comm repo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

The patcher tools are build from source as part of the build process. These tools live in the mozilla repos (e.g. mozilla-beta). The update step failed for Thunderbird 13.0b2 (first integration release on Firefox infra) because by default the ReleaseUpdatesFactory uses the same source repo as the builds. Because Thunderbird builds require two repos, and the main repo is, e.g., comm-beta which does not contain the patcher tools, the step fails.

ReleaseUpdatesFactory already has an option for this, mozRepoPath, we just need to set it for Thunderbird builds.

This is the same patch that I pastebin-ed earlier. The patch is actually applied on buildbot-master34 right, and has allowed the updates step to complete.

Set mozRepoPath when generating Thunderbird release updates

Maybe something like this to reduce dependencies on productName?

try:
    moz_repo_path = releaseConfig['sourceRepositories']['mozilla']['path']
except KeyError:
    moz_repo_path = sourceRepoInfo['path']
