9. rel-o-mation slideware!

   I put this set of slides together to explain what state the release automation project is in. It probably makes more sense when I am sitting there to explain what each point means, but I figured I'd put it out there anyway :)

   The current setup mimics ye olde manual release …

10. Breakout!

    I was working through some Pygame tutorials last week and thought it'd be fun to see if Canvas/JS was fast enough in Fx3 to do some simple games.

    So, I spent a couple evenings last weekend and made a really dumb Sprite class, and stole some reasonable "breakout physics …

11. moving 1.8 nightlies to release machines March 5 2008

    As previously announced on Tinderbox and planet, we're migrating nightly production to running on the same machines as release production.

    On the moz1.8 branch, we've been running the new nightlies in parallel with the "traditional" nightlies since Feb 15 2008, and are going to switchover live tomorrow.

    The new …

12. moving nightly Mozilla1.8 Firefox to release automation system

    I've just enabled nightly builders from the release automation system on the Mozilla 1.8 tree (see bug 417147 for details).

    I've blogged on this previously, but just to reiterate some of the reasons:

    • unify the (very fragmented) nightly and final release processes (tools, procedure, etc).
    • move away from Tinderbox …

13. tinderboxJsonApi 0.1

    Many people have told me that they were excited about the JSON Tinderbox feed, but were quickly discouraged from doing anything fun due to the scary data structure that it presents; it's a straight dump of what the server uses, and is obviously optimized towards making a waterfall display (plus …

14. summarizing build-on-checkin feedback

    Lots of feedback on the build-on-checkin idea in my blog, the newsgroup, and especially joduinn's recent post on the subject. The primary concerns seem to be:

    • we need as many performance tests per checkin as possible

    I've filed bug 410869 to track this. I think the way we do this …

15. perf impact on nightly release automation move

    If you care about the behavior of the Firefox perf test machines, please check out my post moving Mozilla1.8 tinderboxes to Buildbot - perf impact in the mozilla.dev.performance newsgroup.

    The big question is whether we can move to a model where we only build on checkin rather than …

16. tinderbox to buildbot: moz18 branch

    I've set up the release automation staging server for the Mozilla 1.8 branch (Firefox 2.x) to also generate nightly builds and depend builds on checkin to the branch (using buildbot's BonsaiPoller). I outlined some of the advantages to this release automation/nightly+depend integration in my previous post …

17. tinderbox to buildbot, step 1

    As I mentioned previously, I've been working on incrementally moving our Tinderbox client installs over to Buildbot.

    The first step is to switch from driving Tinderbox from Buildbot and our release automation system, instead of being driven on each machine from the multi-tinderbox script. The release automation still calls Tinderbox …

18. Migrating Tinderbox to Buildbot

    I've started working on migrating the Firefox nightly builds to use the same release automation system that we've been developing for the past year or so for maintenance releases (Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5.0x and 2.0.0.x). The reason this is important is that each nightly release …
