also the update verify configs using mozBeta/mozRelease format

Now that Firefox beta and release builds are using release promotion, we can delete some of the buildbot config files that are no longer needed

For instance in buildbot-configs (http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs)
we don't need 
release-firefox-mozilla-release.py
release-firefox-mozilla-release.py.template 
release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py
release-firefox-mozilla-beta.py.template 
or their associated staging files

It looks like the update verify configs matching mozBeta/mozRelease have already been deleted in bug 1253757

So you can create a patch to delete these files, attach it to the bug and add me as a reviewer

Deleting the files is not enough, may need to touch some other places too. Better to run the tests to see what fails.

What's the status with esr45? Can their config files be deleted too?

Comment 5

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

esr45 is running on release promotion so the associated buildbot config files can be deleted from it

[Rail Aliiev [:rail]]

Burn them too! :)
