Preparing to start Automation

Clobbered release-mozilla-esr10 on all masters

# ffxbld@stage
mkdir /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/10.0.6esr-candidates
cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
ln -s ../candidates/10.0.6esr-candidates .

Landed automation configs Tag buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, & tools with build & release tags

hg tag {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_10_0_6esr_{RELEASE,BUILD1}

update and reconfigure the master

release sanity:

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u catlee -V 10.0.6esr \
  --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-esr10.py \
  -c release-fennec-mozilla-esr10.py --dryrun --products firefox,fennec localhost:9001

complains about l10n dashboard for fennec 10.0.6esr. this is expected. all the l10n revisions check out ok.

re-run with -l (to skip l10n checks) and without --dryrun

PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u catlee -V 10.0.6esr \
  --branch mozilla-esr10 --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-esr10.py \
  -c release-fennec-mozilla-esr10.py -l --products firefox,fennec localhost:9001
