Calendar/Release Build Instructions

Initial Preparation

• L10n lead needs to approve or reject any existing sign-offs for milestone on l10n dashboard.
• L10n lead needs to make sure shipped-locales is up to date.
• Release driver needs to determine the changesets & relbranches for the release.

Preparing for the builds

• Someone needs to hit the ship-it button on the dashboard for the milestone, and land the l10n changesets.
• Build needs to update release_calendar.py with:
  • Changesets and relbranches
  • version, appVersion, milestone (= gecko version), buildNumber, baseTag
  • The oldVersion, oldAppVersion, oldBuildNumber are usually updated, but it isn't vital in the current configuration.
• Check everything into buildbot-configs.
