765871 - Please test 10.0.5 -> 14.0 (beta 7? RC?) migration one last time

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

We need to test 10.0.5 -> 14.0 (beta 7? RC?) migration one last time.

It's not clear what the best way to accomplish this is. Could we get a re-spin of beta 7 to get a signed build for internal testing?

I don't think you can upgrade org.mozilla.firefox -> org.mozilla.firefox_beta.

We'd either need 2 special builds (a test 10.0.5 and a test 14.0, with the same branding + signing) or we'll need to create a release-signed release build (org.mozilla.firefox) that we don't intend to release.

We can also potentially do a 14.0 build 1 as early as tomorrow, when we get go-to-build for beta 8.  I'm not ready yet, but I can try to be; an early build 1 can help me find whatever issues there are in building a release build off beta, too.

Let's plan on this, and only do custom builds if we're not in position to build a 14.0 build 1 tomorrow. Thanks Aki!

This will be time consuming on my part, but doable.

Not recommended due to potential leak, but doable.

This is problematic since it's off the same repo, dependent on the same mozconfigs, and the mozconfigs currently specify beta branding.  More releasing-off-train issues.

We could get go for beta 8, then approval for the mozconfig changes to official branding, then go for 14.0 build 1.  If we have to do a beta 8 build 2 or a beta 9, we have to revert that change on mozilla-beta, then re-land it to do 14.0 build 2.

Spoke with Aki - we'll spin a build of FN14.0 off of the "release branch" of mozilla-beta whenever he's ready, and make sure to hide the directory soon after. I believe bug 758787 will need to be approved/land prior to the go-to-build.

Build received.  

initial testing of default xul current release to native build worked.  Will test other configurations (ie w/ sync, w/ large bookmarks 2k+, w/ large history 2k+ )

During testing bug 766925, bug 766992, bug 766995 have been uncovered.
All are probably won't fix?  bug 766992 and 766995 are minor bugs.

Thanks Naoki. Any reason that 10.0.4 was used instead of 10.0.5 in these tests?

I think I may have fat fingered 4 instead of 5 when typing the bug up?  I used the build that was available on Google play.

Comment 10

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Fixed the bug titles.  Thanks for the catch.
