L10n revisions according to opt-ins as taken from the [https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/l10n-changesets?ms=sea2.6 sign-off tool] (and pushed '''ship-it''').

== Notes ==
* Have to do the same s/mac/mac64/ work as in SeaMonkey 2.1b2. Will have to look into an easier way for that
* Going to do throttled updates (like Firefox) due to the impending holiday.

=== Build ===
* Made sure all build machines have clean release directories.
** With clobberer
* Updated buildbot-configs for l10n and configs
* Updated and reconfigured buildmaster
* Kicked off with the following command:
 bin/buildbot sendchange --username=Callek --master=localhost:9010 --branch=releases/comm-release -c "SeaMonkey 2.6" doit
* Tagging finished fine.
* All Builds good.
* All repacks good!

=== Update Version for stage scripts ===
On stage-old.mozilla.org, modified ~/versions.sh for the current release run.

=== Signing ===

* Our mac builds (non en-US) uploaded to mac64/ so I had to move them over to mac/ on stage, for both updates and builds.
** Logged onto stage-old.mozilla.org and ran <code>sh ~/mac64tomac.sh</code>
** which moves all mac64 files/directories to mac, and removes the mac64 dir.
* We have no signing infrastructure for SeaMonkey right now, so I faked the signing step that is usually done after completion of builds and L10n repacks and before the update generation.
* Logged onto stage-old.mozilla.org and ran <code>sh ~/fakesign.sh</code>
<!-- * signing good -->

=== Send info to metrics ===

Done (<tt>metrics at mozilla dot com</tt>)
 SeaMonkey,seamonkey,seamonkey,2.6.1,2.6

=== Updates and Verification ===

*_l10n_verify and updates started automatically, triggered by the fake-signing.
** L10n verification is mostly useless, since we have lots of expected changed strings.
* Update and Update verification were both good.

=== Updates from 2.5 to 2.6.1 ===

=== Update verify for 2.5 partial updates ===

* Landed [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/Callek_gmail.com/tools/rev/5eee14e79d13 a patch] which forces update verify to use partial updates for 2.5
* tagged tools with SEAMONKEY_2_6_1_BUILD1_RUNTIME and SEAMONKEY_2_6_1_RELEASE_RUNTIME
* Re-Triggered all update verify builders via web interface
* '''FAILED'''
** Due to typo in landed patch
* Landed [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/Callek_gmail.com/tools/rev/b6a563b8a6fc new patch] and retagged.
* Re-Triggered all via web interface
* Failed again, ran tagging command pointed at the first rev.
** Retagged ''correctly'' this time
* Retriggered again via web interface
* Failed '''again''' :( Fixed to="" string properly in the landed patch.
* Retriggered again.
* This time everything was good
* Reverted tools repo back to cset initially created by update automation.

=== Copy Language Packs ===

Used <code>langpackmove.sh</code> as documented in [[SeaMonkey:Release_Process:2.0b1|2.0b1]] notes to move the langpacks into the directory we want them in for release.

=== Zipcopy ===
Used <code>zipcopy.sh</code> as documented in [[SeaMonkey:Release_Process:2.0b1|2.0b1]] notes to move the Windows zips into the directory we want them in for release.

=== Create Checksums ===

With <code>make-checksums.sh</code> as documented in [[SeaMonkey:Release_Process:2.0.3|2.0.3]] notes, created MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS files containing all files we release - copying the README from last time and replacing the versions as needed, as well as doing the same for Linux x86_64.

=== Push To Mirrors  ===

Used <code>mirrorpush.sh</code> as documented in [[SeaMonkey:Release Process:2.0.3|2.0.3]] notes to finally push the files to the public dir for mirrors to pick them up.

=== Push build to TrendMicro ===
I used the TrendMicro provided staging ftp directory to stage win32 (all locales) for them to scan, and be sure there are no false-positives.
* Used |viruspush.sh| on stage for this.

=== Final Verification ===

Used 'Force Build' to start the final_verification builder; all tested URLs are HTTP 200 and 302 - ready for going public!
