Once bug 743304 is fixed we'll need to adjust automation so it submits android updates to balrog. In staging it fails right now: Executing: ['/tools/python-2.6.5/bin/python', '/builds/slave/m-cen-andrd-xul-ntly/tools/scripts/updates/balrog-client.py', '--build-properties', 'buildprops_balrog.json', '--api-root', 'https://aus4-admin-dev.allizom.org', '--verbose', '--credentials-file', 'BuildSlaves.py'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builds/slave/m-cen-andrd-xul-ntly/tools/scripts/updates/balrog-client.py", line 36, in <module> runner.run() File "/builds/slave/m-cen-andrd-xul-ntly/tools/lib/python/balrog/client/cli.py", line 71, in run blob = self.generate_blob() File "/builds/slave/m-cen-andrd-xul-ntly/tools/lib/python/balrog/client/cli.py", line 54, in generate_blob 'filesize': props['completeMarSize'], KeyError: 'completeMarSize'

We're going to want this for our next milestone.

This seems like it's because Mobile builds create snippets through android_snippet.py rather than the factory logic, and thus never get the properties set. Sounds like we should get the required properties returned back to Buildbot. In the glorious mozharness future this would probably all be handled within a mozharness script, which would be able to keep track of this sort of information.

This, plus the incoming buildbotcustom patch, gets us raising properties up to buildbot so that the balrog submission script can submit data to the server. We also need add entries to the update platform map, otherwise we end up with platforms like 'android' or 'android-x86'. I didn't bother adding noion because I'm pretty sure that's on the verge of extinction. With these patches you can use fake URLs to get results, eg: http://dev-master01.build.scl1.mozilla.com:8000/update/3/Fennec/22.0a1/20130126143652/Android_arm-eabi-gcc3/en-US/nightly/4.1.1/default/default/update.xml We still need additional work, probably done elsewhere, before we support the real URL schema that Android users (/update/4/...) Aki, I figured you were the best person to review the android-snippet.py changes. Nick, I think we said yesterday that we could support additional URL schemas without adding new blob formats - am I remembering correctly? I suppose we can still change things later if we decide that it doesn't work.
