Some of this release-day work makes sense to do from the release automation. Use force build for these.

Stage and Rename Files
Summary:
- 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/ .

Diff against original snippets
Verified that only appv and url have changed with a diff. Saw something like this for all snippets:

Stage and Rename Files
Summary:
- 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.
- Exclude all of the stuff that would normally be excluded when going from candidates -> releases (logs, info files, unsigned dir, crsahreporter symbols)
Details:
# ffxbld@stage # clean up from the RC1 attempt rm -rf firefox-4.0 mkdir firefox-4.0 cd firefox-4.0 rsync --exclude=*.log --exclude=*_info.txt --exclude=*checksums* --exclude='*partial.mar' --exclude=source --exclude=*SUMS* --exclude=unsigned --exclude=*crashreporter* -av /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0rc2-candidates/build3/ .

Index Files
todo: ask justdave how far in advance we should put an index.html in place
Push to Mirrors
justdave says that we should push the index.html 6 hours before the rest of the contents, to ensure it gets everywhere ahead of everything else.
Notify AV Vendors
Need to notify AV vendors after the push to mirrors is done so that they can scan the files.
Push Major Updates
Remove index files
Update symlinks on FTP
To be done
ln -s 4.0 latest-4.0 ln -s latest-4.0 latest
XULRunner
No need to stage or rename files because the 2.0rc1 versions already use "2.0".
