Notes

Stage and Rename files

Much the same as Firefox 3.5.

# ffxbld@stage
mkdir firefox-3.6
cd firefox-3.6
rsync -av --exclude='*partial.mar' --exclude=source --exclude=*SUMS /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/ .
find contrib linux-i686 update -type f | perl -nle '$nf = $_; if ( $nf =~ s/rc2// ) { system("mv","-v",$_,$nf)}' 
find mac win32 -type f | perl -nle '$nf = $_; if ( $nf =~ s/\ RC\ 2// ) { system("mv","-v",$_,$nf)};'
wget -O../firefox-3.6-shipped-locales http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/raw-file/FIREFOX_3_6rc2_RELEASE/browser/locales/shipped-locales
~cltbld/bin/verify-locales.pl -m ~/firefox-3.6-shipped-locales -l bz2

Files /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/MD5SUMS and MD5SUMS differ
Files /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/SHA1SUMS and SHA1SUMS differ

Everything above is expected: We don't want the partials, we regenerated *SUMS because of filename changes, and we haven't yet regenerated source packages yet.
