Notes

Build 1

Create & Ship the l10n milestone

Followed the documentation instructions to create & ship it.

Update configs, reconfig, start automation

Used Release Kickoff/Runner to do all of this. It failed at first because bug 811267 modified the config directly rather than just the template. After that was fixed up, release runner worked fine.

Push to beta channel

# tbirdbld@aus3-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
~/bin/pushsnip Thunderbird-17.0b3-build1

Run post release builder

Used "force build" to start it.
