Firefox repacks
Some of linux64 repacks failed due to low disk space on one of the slaves. Hit Rebuild after some cleanup on the problematic slave. After all of the repacks were done, forced repacks_done builder for linux64 with script_repo_revision set to FIREFOX_10_0b5_RELEASE to notify r-d.

Signing
NOTE: use new signcode keys from d:/2011-keys
Android Signing
Instructions in MobileSigning. NOTE: It can be started in a different Windows without having to wait for Firefox signing to finish.
Had incorrect store passphrase for Android signing, but the signing script didn't error out, it just plowed ahead. Filed bug 719263
Second attempt with correct password worked fine.
Android Signature Verification
The signing script uploaded the incorrectly signed apk which triggered the scheduler for signature verification. Filed bug 719263
Uploading the properly signed apks and retriggering the builder fixed the issue.
L10N verify
Aside from new locale AS failing because there are no previous versions, no problems
Updates
Updates builder fired twice, not sure why.
