Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

We'll need these to do the 17-mar-2014 merges (beta->release, plus aurora->beta, central->aurora, l10n, and the staging release off aurora).

This doesn't need to be owned by merge duty, but needs to be finished before the Fx 28 go-to-build.

The first part, m-b => m-r merge was done manually by hwine, using the existing scripts and documentation. See notes at http://people.mozilla.org/~hwine/mtg_notes/hwine/2014/hwine.2014-03-10-20.21.html

the second part, m-a => m-b && m-c => m-a (gecko portions) was also done manually by hwine using the existing script. See notes at http://people.mozilla.org/~hwine/mtg_notes/hwine/2014/hwine.2014-03-17-17.26.html

These scripts now:
 - are in releng repo (braindump/releases-related)
 - were successfully used on the FF 28 merge days
 - will no longer do damage if run with an older python than needed.
 - are usable "as is" for the next merge day.

Each of these scripts needs to be re-written in MozHarness for ease of use & integration going forward. New bugs will be opened for that work.

Where are these bugs?
