+== Pushing builds to the release tree ==
+=== Sunbird ===
+For the 0.7 release the required files were copied from the nightly directories and collected in a 0.7-candidates directory still in the nightly tree (flat structure, no renaming). Once all desired languages and platforms are there, a script exists to deliver them into the expected structure (platform/language) in the release tree and do the renaming.
-== More things not covered here yet ==
+TODO: provide de-personalized version of this script
-* [http://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Calendar:Sunbird_Updates auto update] and the according {{bug|381420}}
-* [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Build:CommunitySelfHelp talkback changes] required for a version change
+TODO: provide usage example
-* [[Software_Update:GeneratingSnippetsAndPartialsForReleases|AUS, patcher2]]
+TODO: make this script fix access rights and cretate MD5SUM files
+=== Lightning ===
+There is still running a bunch of scripts for localization (TODO: link to script) repackaging (wcap, universal binaries on mac) and renaming required that has to be done locally. Just the final results are uploaded.
+Hopefully this changes for the next releases.
+== Providing updates for Sunbird ==
+With the changes to the tinderboxe configuration (TODO: link to tb changes) also creation of update files (*.mar) gets enabled. While the complete updates are provided and uploaded by the tinderboxes, creating partial updates requires some manual work (see [[Software_Update:GeneratingSnippetsAndPartialsForReleases#Creating_updates |patcher2]]).
+TODO: insert patcher2 config for sunbird
+NOTE:
+These update files can be tested manually as described in [[Software_Update:GeneratingSnippetsAndPartialsForReleases#How_Firefox.2FThunderbird_updates_are_tested]] .
+Once the partial .mar are created and uploaded to the stage server, the according update information (snippets) need to be pushed to the AUS server.
