Issues

Repacks, part 1

The repacks all failed like this

18:57:40     INFO - Updating /builds/slave/rel-m-beta-and-api-11_rpk_1-00/build/mozilla-beta revision FENNEC_38_0b10_RELEASE.

ie trying to use mozilla-beta, which is hardcoded in the mh config. Part of the crazy way we're doing beta on the release repo (bug 1158124).

Fix the configs, retag, and backout. Rebuilt all 20 jobs.

Repacks, part 2

That fixed the en-US issue, but it turns out we tagged locales in mozilla-beta (a bug!), eg

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-beta/de/rev/10a37089af9b

So hg_l10n_base turned out to be wrong:

20:21:25     INFO - Updating /builds/slave/rel-m-beta-and-api-11_rpk_1-00/build/mozilla-release/an revision FENNEC_38_0b10_RELEASE.

20:21:25     INFO - Copy/paste: hg --config ui.merge=internal:merge update -C -r FENNEC_38_0b10_RELEASE
20:21:26    ERROR -  abort: unknown revision 'FENNEC_38_0b10_RELEASE'!

So better fix, tag, backout again.
