STATUS UPDATE: -DONE: * the buildbot master has been imaged with the base os. * We have gotten puppet working -TODO: * We have to bring up the buildbot master and set it up properly <-----If we cut a few corners... <-----at this point we can start spinning beta(s)/Releases * We have to bring up clobberer (which the machines use to know when a clobber is needed * We have to tell our buildapi to report to the clobberer server so that tbpl can report builds After the last part is done I can reopen the trees, and I expect to be building a beta as of tomorrow. At this point the planned release date is AT RISK. Which means depending on how smooth this beta goes, and how many users grab it and start testing, as well as what, if any, reports of problems we get, we may slip past the release date of the 24'th. We however can be sure to not entirely skip this release, and will do a release based on this train even if its late.
