Release Selector

This command configures the tree in preparation for doing a staging release, and pushes the result to try. The changes that that are made include:

  • Updating the version number.
  • Applying the migrations that are done as part of merge day.
  • Disabling repacking most locales. (This can be disabled by passing --no-limit-locales).

For staging a beta release, run the following (with an appropriate version number):

mach try release --version 64.0b5 --migration main-to-beta

For staging a final release (rc or patch), run the following (with an appropriate version number)

mach try release --version 64.0 --migration main-to-beta --migration beta-to-release

Once the decision task is on the push is complete, you can start the release through staging ship-it instance1 .

:::{note} If pushing from beta or release, the corresponding migration should not be passed, as they have already been applied. :::

The --tasks flag controls the scope of the try push:

.. option:: --tasks staging

   *(default)* Only shippable build-phase tasks (builds, signing, repackaging,
   PGO profiling) — the minimal set required before triggering a staging release
   via `ShipIt staging <https://shipit.staging.mozilla-releng.net/>`_.
.. option:: --tasks release-sim

   Simulates a full release branch push, including tests. Used by sheriffs to
   look for branch-dependent test failures.
