=== Edit rsync exclude files ===
=== Edit rsync exclude files ===
Edit /pub/mozilla.org/zz/rsyncd-mozilla-releases.exclude on stage so that it excludes the current release. This prevents external mirrors from picking up the new release prematurely.
Done in build1
 
For rapid release betas, this is not necessary as there's already an exclude that matches beta releases.

=== Major Update ===
Major update generation is not kicked off automatically. You should only create them once the final builds for the "latest" build are ready.
For instance, the 3.6.26 builds got created a week before the 10.0 release but the "final" 10.0 builds were not created after few days.
Follow instructions from the [[Release:Release_Automation_on_Mercurial:Documentation#Major_Update_.28Firefox_only.29|Major update]] documentation.

'''IMPORTANT -''' Make sure to follow instructions!
* download multi apk (e.g. [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/10.0b6-candidates/build1/android/multi/fennec-10.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk multi/fennec-10.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk])
