Return slaves

Keeping enough for update generation and verification, plus l10n verify.

Sign

Removed en-US.xpi from candidates directory

To speed up signing, did the following on keymaster prior to repacks finishing:

PRODUCT=firefox
VERSION=3.6.12
BUILD=1
TAG=FIREFOX_3_6_12_RELEASE
REPO='releases/mozilla-1.9.2'
EMAIL=bhearsum@mozilla.com
KEYDIR=d:/2010-keys
cd ~/hg-tools
hg pull && hg up -r ${TAG}
mkdir ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cd ~/signing-work/${PRODUCT}-${VERSION}
cp ~/hg-tools/release/signing/* .
make df verify-gpg-passphrase setup verify-signcode-passphrase PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
# download target run multiple times to get things as they complete
make download PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1

Once all the repacks finished, ran the following in the same window to do the signing:

# Need to download one more time to make sure we've got everything
make download PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1
make stubs sign2 stage verify fake-upload PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL} KEYDIR=${KEYDIR} USE_NEW=1

And then to upload:

make postsign PRODUCT=${PRODUCT} VERSION=${VERSION} BUILD=${BUILD} REPO=${REPO} EMAIL=${EMAIL}

L10N Verify

No problems

Updates

3.6* -> 3.6.12

Disabled self.bumpVerifyConfigs() in ReleaseUpdatesFactory (http://diff.pastebin.mozilla.org/827934), reconfigured the master, reran updates.

Update Verify

Due to failed updates had to force update verify for all platforms.
