Source

Forced build, no problems

Build/Repack

Forced en-US builds using waterfall (no properties set other than who and reason). No problems with them.

l10n builds were forced one platform at a time, after each en-US finishing. Setup: 

# on nthomas's laptop:
mkdir -p ~/tmp/3.6b2-l10n
cd ~/tmp/3.6b2-l10n
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot
cd tools/buildbot-helpers

The forcing: 

# linux
PYTHONPATH=../../:../../buildbot python force_release_l10n.py -m http://production-master.build.mozilla.org:8010 -v -t FIREFOX_3_6b2_RELEASE -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p linux -n nthomas
# mac
PYTHONPATH=../../:../../buildbot python force_release_l10n.py -m http://production-master.build.mozilla.org:8010 -v -t FIREFOX_3_6b2_RELEASE -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p macosx -n nthomas
# win32
PYTHONPATH=../../:../../buildbot python force_release_l10n.py -m http://production-master.build.mozilla.org:8010 -v -t FIREFOX_3_6b2_RELEASE -b releases/mozilla-1.9.2 -p win32 -n nthomas

Hit an issue with mac where ja-JP-mac was not triggered. Used the script in -s <file> mode to work around, bug 527398 for the fix.

Manual verification that all l10n builds present: 

# stage
cd /home/ftp/pub/firefox/nightly/3.6b1-candidates/build3
# each should be 47 = en-US  + 46 l10n builds
for p in linux-i686 mac unsigned/win32; do
  echo `ls $p | grep -v xpi | wc -l` $p
done

Removed en-US.xpi from the 3.6b1-candidates/build1/ directory on stage.
