Set up whatsnew page
We need to remove the 'actions' and 'openURL' to remove the whatsnew after updates. Updating the blob doesn't work due to bug 1162874, so Firefox-38.0-build3 was deleted and resubmitted.
Push to mirrors
Also needed to remove rule for release-cdntest which was showing a whatsnew for these locales: en-US,en-GB,de,pt-BR,id,fr,es-ES,es-MX
Throttling
Also removed the rule for locales on release (as above), since that results in removing the whatsnew page for those locales for the short time before the push to 38.0 is done.
EME free repack
The DRM blog post was pointing to
http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/38.0-candidates/build2/partner-repacks/EME-free
which is build2, and not a CDN. Copied files into 38.0 releases dir
# ffxbld@stage cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox rsync -av candidates/38.0-candidates/build3/partner-repacks/EME-free/win32/ releases/38.0/win32-EME-free/
Requested blog be changed to
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/38.0/win32-EME-free/
