Preparing to start Automation

• Set clobbers for the appropriate masters
• reserved slaves

echo "10">  master/reserved_slaves_bm08-build1

• Update l10n changesets for desktop, mobile
• Land automation configs
• Tag buildbot-configs (production), buildbotcustom (production-0.8), tools with {FIREFOX,FENNEC}_8_0b5_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
• update and reconfigure the master

make update && make checkconfig && make reconfig

• release sanity

cd /builds/buildbot/build1/master
source ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u rail -pfirefox,fennec -V 8.0b5 --branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py --dryrun  localhost:9001

It failed, see [1] for the details
