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

Remove index.html files

find . -name index.html | less
find . -name index.html | xargs rm -v
