Setup before starting:

• Updated /builds/buildbot/Automation/buildbot-configs on production-1.8-master.
  • master.cfg is "Locally Modified" to contain passwords. Identical to repository version otherwise.
  • Turned off the nightly builders on production-1.8-master to make sure they don't interfere with the release. (We need to figure out how to avoid this in the future).
    • commented out "c['schedulers'].append(depend_scheduler)"
  • updated mozilla1.8 tinderbox to say "no nightlies right now"
• ensure that machines have enough resources
  • production-prometheus-vm - 31G in /
  • production-1.8-master - 31G in /builds, 19G in /data
  • production-pacifica-vm - 29G in c:/
