@adg I tried to debug this. As far as I understand I need to send releaselet.go to a buildlet and try running it. I can run buildlet program:

buildlet.exe -listen=127.0.0.1:5936

How do I run commands against it? Do I use gomote? What the command is?

@alexbrainman One way is to run a local coordinator and a local buildlet.

Since the system usually uses gce for windows builds, you'll need to configure windows-amd64-gce as a "reverse" buildlet instead. Edit dashboard/builders.go to set the IsReverse field on the windows-amd64-gce builder config to true.

$ coordinator -mode dev
$ buildlet -coordinator localhost:8119 -halt=false -reverse windows-amd64-gce

Then you can run release -coordinator localhost:8119 to use your local coordinator and buildlet for the release build.

Or you could just run releaselet.go from a directory that contains a go directory containing a compiled Go tree. (and stub out the stuff in releaselet.go that tries to do the godoc/tour stuff)
