Notes

Build 1

• Ben already clobbered every master/release/builder, reserved slaves
• Landed configs & mozharness, re-using l10n from 7.0b3 so nothing to land there
• on the master:

make update

release_sanity noop: 

cd master
. ../bin/activate
PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u lsblakk -V 7.0b4 \
--branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
--dryrun --products firefox,fennec localhost:9001 2>&1 | tee lsblakk.out

Did not pass release_sanity, turned out I had not saved my changes to release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py so I did that, landed on production, re-tagged buildbot-configs, updated the master, did release_sanity dryrun again which passed

start automation: 

PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u lsblakk -V 7.0b4 \
--branch mozilla-beta --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py -c release-fennec-mozilla-beta.py \
--products firefox,fennec localhost:9001
