Release build 2

• (RelMan) Ship the l10n milestone (build1 only)
• (RelMan) Submit to Ship It
• Abandoned here for yet-another build to follow with a hotfix

Issues:

• Fennec 44.0.2 build2: build step failed on android-api-11 - failure to clone build/tools when the fingerprint didn't match. gps suspects AWS are rolling out new certs

Release build 3

• starting a third build with bug 1245516 as well
• (RelMan) Ship the l10n milestone (build1 only)
• (RelMan) Submit to Ship It
• Abandonded here as buildbot-master73 froze our builds and was really slow today - given that there was too much room for human error to interfere, we'll follow-up with a fourth build.

Release build 4

• same as build3, but new build
• (RelMan) Ship the l10n milestone (build1 only)
• (RelMan) Submit to Ship It
• Push to mirrors
• Post-release tasks

Issues

• The mirror push was missed - stephend arrived in #releng with news of test failures. Debugged to product=fennec-latest requests to bouncer returning 404s, due to that alias pointing at Fennec-44.0.2 (postrelease had been run), but no files in fennec/releases/44.0.2/ (push_to_mirrors had not). Recovered by running push_to_mirrors.
