Notes
Notify Mirrors
Need to send an e-mail to mirrors in advance of the push
Automated Parts
Some of this release-day work makes sense to do from the release automation. Use force build for these.

Major Update Generation
Bouncer Entries
Virus Scan
(Might not be able to do this from automation because we don't have a full 3.6-candidates dir)
Verify permissions

Stage and Rename Files
- Copy files to ~ffxbld and rename to non-RC versions
- Exclude *checksums* because we don't care for individual locale+platform checksums files in the final release dir
- Exclude partial MARs because there's no use for them, no point in pushing them to the mirrors
- Exclude Source packages because they're regenerated for final
- Exclude *SUMS* because we'll be regenerating them.
Details:
# ffxbld@stage mkdir firefox-4.0 cd firefox-4.0 rsync -av --exclude=*checksums* --exclude='*partial.mar' --exclude=source --exclude=*SUMS* /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0rc1/ .

Push to Mirrors
Notify AV Vendors
Need to notify AV vendors after the push to mirrors is done so that they can scan the files.
