Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I created a special rule in Balrog for the WINNT_x86_64-msvc build target, which was unable to update at all while 37.0 RCs were on the wire for the other platforms. It will need to be deleted when 38.0b1 ships in order for win64 builds to get updates.

Before we start an RC build, we need to revert changes from bug 1158760

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/9d105ed6f35a should be reverted

Done with
 https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/3fe0e43cd50c

We'll need to use MOBILE380b10_2015050317_RELBRANCH if we want to do further Fennec 38.0b10 builds.

Attachment: enable beta channel for 38.0.5

So, KaiRo noticed that 38.0.5 didn't become available on beta-cdntest. This is because we only enable the beta channel for "final" releases (http://mxr.mozilla.org/build/source/tools/buildfarm/release/release-runner.py#145), which means "two digit version number".

Our assumption was broken by 38.0.5, so this never happened. I _think_ the best way to fix this up is to tweak the release config by hand, retag, reconfig, and then kick the beta updates builder. This _should_ bump the necessary configs, update balrog, run update verify, etc. I don't have full confidence that this will actually work, but at the very least it's a starting point, and better than trying to bump everything by hand.

Oh, and I should note that the HACK HACK HACK part is because we need to have at least one vesrion from partialUpdates that matches the versionRegex, otherwise ReleaseUpdatesFactory doesn't work. 38.0 was the last thing we pushed there, so I figured it was best to make it the thing.

We may need to add the corresponding bouncer entries too. Rerunning the builders should do that.

I landed this and retagged for it.
