Details

currently the mozilla-win32.zip has the following structure: bin/mozilla.exe bin/chrome etc couldn't we rename the "bin" to "mozilla" ? this way the Phoenix and the Mozilla zip structure would be the same. Phoenix has: phoenix/phoenix.exe phoenix/chrome etc
Or just remove the prefix entirely. Why do we need one?
yes. remove it entirely would be nicer

Reassigning it to leaf as the nightly script manually creates the zip files. It should probably use xpinstall/packager/Makefile.in instead. No, removing the prefix entirely would *not* be nicer. You're going to find a lot of upset users if you start unpackaging 50 files & directories in the current directory. The lack of a prefix would make it extremely hard to clean up when manually uninstalling the package.

this is so low a priority that a low enough priority doesn't exist to accurately reflect it.

adding others to the cc list in case they want to pick this up.
Summary: rename "bin" i zip structure to "mozilla" → rename "bin" dir in zipfile to "mozilla"
We should be consistent with the three different products: - Mozilla Application Suite - Mozilla Firebird - Mozilla Thunderbird The zip structure should be consistent. Todays it's not consistent AT ALL! All three products currently have their own zip structure. Mozilla Application Suite has "bin" Mozilla Firebird has "MozillaFirebird" Mozilla Thunderbird has "thunderbird"
Maybe mozilla\suite\mozilla.exe, mozilla\firebird\firebird.exe, etc? If the only concern is an embedded base, then we just need to come up with a way to "upgrade" them.
Accepting; not much concern for previous users, as they ought to be clued enough to remove bin once they notice new packages are installing different directories.
