1400790 - seamonkey/release_config.py : Symlinks aren't allowed in this repo.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Release Engineering, enhancement)

Description

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

after bug 985087, we can no longer push changes to buildbot-config's
seamonkey/release-config.py which is a symlink to the required release-comm-? file.

Comment 1

solution found (read: hacky)

1) delete the release_config.py symlink
2) create a new release_config.py  contains "release-comm-esr" (for esr release..)
3) add a snippet of code to the top of release_master.py to load the config.

defaults to release-comm-beta

this changes the permissions for release_config.py (as in changing
it such that it is no longer a symlink file).  I created this patch on
a linux system as I was having trouble with getting symlink removal
to stick on Windows' msys env.
