I'll take this one, but expect me to twist someone's arm to do the final steps early on release day.

This is a kind of three-way merge between this file, release-firefox-mozilla-release.py, and release-thunderbird-comm-beta.py. As well as the normal version bumps, it enables signing and partial update generation on the build slaves (same as 13.0b4), and fixes a few firefoxisms (partner builds, bumping browser/ in comm-release). l10n changesets to be added at build time.
 
Queries
* should a relbranch be used for mozilla-release ? I notice we do this on beta
* should releaseNotesUrl be changing to use www.mozilla.org ?

Up to TB drivers. Sometimes, when we build using the same changeset as for FF, we use relbranch set explicitly to avoid creating another branch.

Sometimes, when TB needs extra patches or uses a changeset which comes before FF's one, we need to use None, so the automation generates a separate relbranch.

I usually put TBD here.

Swapping this release with 10.0.5 ESR.

I was going to compare with esr or release but I can't do that from here. Looks fine anyway.

We are currently at an 'all stop' for Thunderbird 13.0 build 1.  Investigation into bug 760807 and bug 760624 is in progress.

Comment 15

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

Bug#760807 came up as showstopper over the weekend, which is specific to TB13.0 on win7. At this point, TB13.0 will most likely not ship tomorrow with FF13. 

Fixing this looks like it will require rebuilding or some possible workaround experiments over the weekend. More details as we have it.

Before we close this, we need to update the checksum files for the Windows builds. I've seen at least one comment that they are out of date.
