Build 1
Diff mozconfigs
From a mozilla-release checkout, ran:
for p in linux32 linux64 macosx-universal win32; do diff -Naur {,../mozilla-beta/}browser/config/mozconfigs/$p/release; done
Got the following output:

Not a critical change, but it'll get picked up when Release Management does the merge, so didn't take any action.
Preparing to start Automation
- Requested a clobber for "any master", "mozilla-release", "any builder"
- Reserved 8 slaves
- Created a candidates directory symlink:
# ffxbld@stage cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ mkdir ../candidates/12.0-candidates ln -s ../candidates/12.0-candidates 12.0-candidates
- Clicked "ship it" on l10n dashboard
- Landed buildbot-configs changes
- Tagged buildbot-configs, buildbotcustom, and tools with FIREFOX_12_0_{RELEASE,BUILD1}
- Ran release sanity:
source ../bin/activate PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \ -V 12.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \ --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=12 --bypass-l10n-check --dryrun localhost:9001 PYTHONPATH=. ../bin/python ../tools/buildbot-helpers/release_sanity.py -u bhearsum \ -V 12.0 --branch mozilla-release --build-number 1 -c release-firefox-mozilla-release.py \ --products firefox --l10n-dashboad-version=12 --bypass-l10n-check localhost:9001

Edit rsync exclude files

Tag
No problems. However, I thought I had messed up the config so I halted tagging at one point, and to restart the automation. We thought we would have to muck around with the schedulers to fix it, but that ended up not being the case.

Build

Repacks
Linux repack 1/6 failed part way through, with an hg timeout. The only locales left in that chunk were cs, csb, and cy, so I used the standalone builder to build them. The form was filled out as follows:
- branch: release/mozilla-release
- revision: FIREFOX_12_0_RELEASE
- properties:
- locale: cs:csb:cy
- release_config: mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-release.py
- script_repo_revision: FIREFOX_12_0_RELEASE
Once that was done, "force build" to manually trigger the linux64_repack_complete builder.
Unittests / Talos
XULRunner
Source
Failed. Rebuilt it.
Build

Partner Repack
No problems.
L10N verify
No problems, all green.

No problems.
Updates
Pushsnip failed with:

To finish up this builder, pushed them by hand with:
