2012-11-28 15:40:11,186 : ERROR : Error verifying mozconfigs

Standard8 fixed mozconfigs in bug 799434 and provided a new comm-beta revision. Bhearsum updated release runner db and restarted it.

Updates

Updates builder failed, bug 816398. It's fallout from switching to mock and using % in the release notes url passed to the patcher config bumper (buildbot tries to interpolate). Switched to an url without any %. Green then, and so was update verify.

Postrelease

Callek accidentally ran the postrelease builder early. Reset the thunderbird/releases/latest-beta symlink to point at 17.0b3
