Releases/Firefox 3.0.12/BuildNotes

Please be sure to use

• UPDATE_PACKAGING_R8 in the bootstrap config, so that we start using SHA512 hashes for update snippets, bug 472790

- nthomas

• Also please make sure that you use ffxbld for 'push to mirrors' and updating the latest-3.0 symlink , rather than cltbld (this is a change, but a desired one).

Update Verify

Mac failed Update Verify because 3.0.11 throttling was still active from the major update.

Linux failed because pushing to hg would have created a new head.

Windows failed with "Step Updates died: shell call returned bad exit code: 1 at Bootstrap/Step.pm line 110."

After patching verify.sh to include ?force=1 to the aus url, all platforms succeeded on a second build, though win32 second build failed with normal binary difference errors.

XULRunner

Had to kick off manually, the dependent scheduler did not fire after Stage step.
