Virus check
This will have been done for 3.6rc2 and background scans but double check
clamscan -r --quiet -i .
No problems found.
Add index files
curl -sL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=422468 > index.html for dir in `find . -type d -mindepth 1`; do cp -pv index.html $dir/; done
Generate major update
We currently have majortest snippets pointing at 3.6rc2 in bouncer but we should point at the 3.6 files for tracking purposes. Also need to have a releasetest channel for QA to check. Updated config.

Tag and Source package regeneration
On release day.
Push to Mirrors
