creating snippets to update RCs

NB: Not actually done or needed

I was expecting 33 beta something to be the RCs but patcher says: <33.0>

anyway I've tried to create the script for the RCs as described here:

buildid_33_=20141011015303
mkdir -p Firefox-34.0b1-build2-rc-updates-test/Firefox/33.0/{Darwin_x86-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64,Darwin_x86_64-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64,Linux_x86-gcc3,Linux_x86_64-gcc3,WINNT_x86-msvc}
for i in Darwin_x86-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64 Darwin_x86_64-gcc3-u-i386-x86_64 Linux_x86-gcc3 Linux_x86_64-gcc3 WINNT_x86-msvc; do
   rsync -av /opt/aus2/snippets/pushed/Firefox-34.0b1-build2-test/Firefox/33.0/$i/$buildid_33_/ Firefox-34.0b1-build2-rc-updates-test/Firefox/33.0/$i/$buildid_31RC_bld1/
   rsync -av /opt/aus2/snippets/pushed/Firefox-34.0b1-build2-test/Firefox/33.0/$i/$buildid_33_/ Firefox-34.0b1-build2-rc-updates-test/Firefox/33.0/$i/$buildid_31RC_bld2/
done
# push test live, double check that the directory doesn't have "release" directory
pushsnip Firefox-34.0b1-build2-rc-updates-test

I (mgerva) haven't executed it because I am not sure we have RCs or not.

<nthomas>: We don't need to do this any more because Balrog handles it automatically, checklist and docs updated.
