Build/Repack

Builds failed because find_filepath couldn't find the package.

Logged onto build slaves, and ran:

 export UPLOAD_EXTRA_FILES=${PLATFORM}_info.txt
 export UPLOAD_HOST=stage.mozilla.org
 export UPLOAD_SSH_KEY="~/.ssh/ffxbld_dsa"
 export UPLOAD_TO_TEMP=1
 export UPLOAD_USER=ffxbld
 export UPLOAD_TO_TEMP=1
 export POST_UPLOAD_CMD="post_upload.py -p firefox -v 3.5.6 -n 2 --release-to-candidates-dir"
 export MOZ_OBJDIR=obj-firefox
 export MOZ_PKG_PRETTYNAMES=1
 export MOZ_PKG_VERSION=3.5.6
 make -C obj-firefox/tools/update-packaging
 make -C obj-firefox upload

Kicked repacks:

 python force_release_l10n.py -m http://localhost:8010 -t FIREFOX_3_5_6_RELEASE -v -b releases/mozilla-1.9.1 -n catlee

Needed to run 'make installer' for win32 build. Killed off busted repack builds, created the installer, uploaded, and kicked win32 repacks.

Manually created *_info.txt files.

win32 repacks started failing again because unable to find revision FIREFOX_3_5_6_RELEASE. Clobbered slaves, and kicked win32 repacks again.

Success finally!

Bumped required space to 14 GB and tried again. This time one step failed (diff_patcher_config) because the previous attempt had successfully bumped the patcher configs, so in the 2nd run there was no diff.

Kicked manually since update build failed.

XULRunner build

Created the builds by going to the buildbot waterfall for mozilla-1.9.1 and forcing builds for linux (not x64), mac and windows xulrunner. Set the branch to 'releases/mozilla-1.9.1' and revision to 'FIREFOX_3_5_6_RELEASE'.

When they finished, as xrbld@stage moved the dir from /pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/2009/11/2009-12-17-09-mozilla-1.9.1/ to ..../nightly/1.9.1.6-candidates/build1. Removed the broken symlink at xulrunner/nightly/2009-12-17-09-mozilla-1.9.1. Contacted mfinkle and dtownsend for smoketest QA.
