If this is a *.0 beta -> release. May also need to update the whitelist of nightly vs release differences for release sanity.

For 3.6.25 you would send
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.25,3.6
Firefox,firefox,firefox,3.6.26pre,3.6
For non-3.6 releases, we need to include Fennec in the email if we build Fennec.


For 9.0b2 it would be
For 9.0b2 it would be
  Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0b2,9.0
  Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0b2,9.0
  Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0b2,9.0
  Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0b2,9.0
And for 9.0 final it's
Firefox,firefox,firefox,9.0,9.0
Fennec,firefox-mobile,fennec,9.0,9.0
ESRs look like this:
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3,10.0
Firefox,firefox,firefox,10.0.3esr,10.0
=== E-mail mirrors@mozilla.org ===
Not necessary for rapid release betas, files only go as far as the 'internal mirrors'.
Coordinate yourself with the person creating the ESR and the latest release which normally go out at the same time.
They want to know approximately what time push to external mirrors will occur.  Ideally this is a 24hr notice to them, with the estimated time.
<pre>
Subject: Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] coming to mirrors on {DATE}
Body:
We're planning on pushing our Firefox {VERSION1} [and {VERSION2}] release(s) to mirrors 24 hours before {DATE}.
# If this is a chemspill, please mention that in the email as it will mean pinging
# for CDN to be enabled when the push to internal mirrors happens
If you believe these releases or these dates will cause any problems,
please notify release at mozilla.com. If you have any problems with mirror
status/weights/etc, please notify mirror-submissions at mozilla.org.
</pre>


=== 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.


For rapid release betas, this is not necessary as there's already an exclude that matches beta releases.

Major update generation is not kicked off automatically. You should only create them once the final builds for the "latest" build are ready.
