+Instead of precisely the above, it was decided that we'll update everyone *except* 34.0 users to 34.0.5, to avoid fatiguing the 34.0 users. Because we had to do it in short order, we used the prepared patch above, which also generated updates for 34.0, and then pruned them out of the live directory (for test snippets) and the staging directory (for release channel snippets). More details below:
+* Landed https://bug1071606.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8532738 and reconfiged for it.
+* Moved the FIREFOX_34_0_5_{RELEASE,BUILD1} tags in buildbot-configs to pick up the changes.
+* Used "force build" to start the "release-mozilla-release-firefox_updates" builder.
+* As soon as it finished uploading test snippets, ran the following as ffxbld@aus3-staging:
+ cd /opt/aus2/incoming/3/Firefox/34.0
+ find . -name 20141125180439 -exec rm -rf {} \;
+* When the release channel snippets finished uploading, ran the following:
+ cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-34.0.5-build1/Firefox/34.0
+ find . -name 20141125180439 -exec rm -rf {} \;
+The completion of the updates builder automatically triggered update verify and announced the snippets on release-drivers. Update verify is expected to fail for 34.0 -> 34.0.5 (which is probably a good thing, because it lets us verify that we will NOT update those users).
