Issues

• l10n tagging failed because of: "Bug 1226276 - l10n taggging fails when running 'hg branches' against clean checkout of certain locale repos"
  • status: resolved with manual kicking
  • POA: update hg or clean bloated locale repos
• truncated mar files for win32 (1 locale), and mac (2 locales). standalone_repack and repack_complete to recover
• win64 build got a slave without a .ssh/known_hosts and upload failed. Rebuilt it, bad slave was still disconnecting. Rebuilt it again
• many update_verify (non linux case) and antivirus jobs failed because of an intermittent network failure downling bits from s3. manually re-triggered.
• Removed "actions" and "openURL" from the release blob in Balrog. They were automatically added because of http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/tip/mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-release.py.template#l38
• Fennec 43.0.1 (one-off build) was started before we ran push to mirros. Had to manually push files using a slave.
