Generate Major Update Snippets

These are for the "vanilla" builds we're going to update.

Separate out beta snippets

cd temp/firefox/2.0.0.18-3.0.4
rsync -a aus2/ aus2.beta/
find aus2.beta/ -type d -name "release" -exec rm -rfv {} \;
find aus2/ -type d -name "beta" -exec rm -rfv {} \; 

Quick verify

Check the snippets are identical for all four channels

# betatest == releasetest
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*betatest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/betatest/releasetest/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
# test the opposite direction to catch anything that only exists for releasetest
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*releasetest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/releasetest/betatest/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
# betatest == beta
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*betatest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/betatest/beta/; $a =~ s/aus2\.test/aus2.beta/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
find aus2.beta -type d -iregex '.*/beta$' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/beta$/betatest/; $a =~ s/aus2\.beta/aus2.test/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");' # betatest == release
find aus2.test -type d -iregex '.*betatest.*' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/betatest/release/; $a =~ s/aus2\.test/aus2/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'
find aus2 -type d -iregex '.*/release$' | perl -nle '$a = $_; $a =~ s/release$/betatest/; $a =~ s/aus2/aus2.test/; system("diff -r -u $_ $a");'

Push to AUS

cd /builds/2.0.0.18-major-update/snippets/patcher/temp/firefox/2.0.0.18-3.0.4
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20081117-Firefox-2.0.0.18-3.0.4-MU
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2.beta/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20081117-Firefox-2.0.0.18-3.0.4-MU-beta
rsync -e 'ssh -i /home/cltbld/.ssh/aus' -av aus2.test/ cltbld@aus2-staging.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/20081117-Firefox-2.0.0.18-3.0.4-MU-test

Enable test snippets

Safe to do this without doing null snippets because we're only talking about betatest and releasetest, where no end-users of partner builds will be falling back to (metrics website confirms).
