====== Verification ======
* Check the last 2 or 3 Build Notes if this is your first time verifying a major update generated in this new way. Carrying forward the known issues might be overkill.

TODO
NOTE for post-mortem:
* pm02 was pointing to release-mozilla-central.py instead of release-mozilla-1.9.1.py. Therefore I did not see any "major_update" builder. After a while I realized about this.
* pm was turned off so I turned it on. I got a slave and started doing "final_verification".
* I landed a change for changing release_config1.py to point at release-mozilla-1.9.1.py. Unfortunately I had landed it on the buildbot-0.8.0 branch and therefore I was not able to see any "major_update" builder.
* I started preparing the patches for manual generation of the MU until catlee noticed that the "major_update" builder was there (There was too much going and I probably missed it).
* I made sure that now my patches were correctly landed on default and reconfigured.
* I have now "force build" the builder
 
 
* First run failed on the download step:
** {{bug|573828}} - "major update" failed to download file for 3.5.10 -> 3.6.4 MU
* I clobbered and re-triggered
* I had to trigger for a third time. This time it worked
* It seems that downloading from stage-old.mozilla.org is not 100% safe since it is a proxy.
 
====== Verification ======
* All platforms
** no update for mn since that doesn't exist for 3.6.4
** sl leaves these searchplugins behind (they were removed between 3.6 and 3.6.2)
iskalnik-gov-si.xml
najdi-si.xml
yahoo.xml
* Linux - PASS, no extra differences found.
* Windows - PASS, with the usual issues differences for .autoreg, freebl3.chk, nssdbm3.chk, removed-files, softokn3.chk
* Mac - PASS, with some leftover directories

==== Final Verification  ====
==== Final Verification  ====
After all products/files had some uptake the "force build" button was used to start the "final_verification" builder.


==== Fix Major Update snippets ====
* We have a bunch of 404 message for cacheboy.net.
* nthomas suggested me to chat with adrian on #mirrors
* nthomas is verifying the log as well
* nthomas suggested me for next time to use something like this:
  while [[ 2 > 1 ]]; do curl -sI  http://mozilla.cdn.cacheboy.net/firefox/releases/3.5.10/update/win32/en-US/firefox-3.5.10.complete.mar | grep ^HTTP; done


==== Throttling Updates  ====
NOTE: If there had been neither 404s nor 503s in the log I should have marked this step as a PASS.


==== Push updates to release channel  ====
==== Push updates to release channel  ====
* Push 3.5.x snippets
# cltbld @ aus2-staging
cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging
~/bin/backupsnip 20100504-Firefox-3.5.10
~/bin/pushsnip 20100504-Firefox-3.5.10
* push major update snippets (unadvertised)
~/bin/backupsnip 20100622-Firefox-3.5.10-3.6.4-MU
~/bin/pushsnip  20100622-Firefox-3.5.10-3.6.4-MU
==== Unthrottle release channel ====
* We have to remove all throttling for the previous '''dot'''release since only the "release" users are excepted.
** Unthrottle 3.5.9 - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=453231 patch], tag, and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573888 push].
==== Unthrottle MU ====
* {{bug|578450}} do unthrottled 3.5.10 -> 3.6.6 major update
** [https://bug578450.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=457139] remove 3.5.10 throttling, add 3.5.11 throttling (NOTE: I forgot to add "releasetest" in the patch)
