238210 - building in browser/installer should remove unwanted files before making .zip/.tar archive

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

There are a set of files (tests, and binaries only needed for the build process)
that we do not want to package for firefox zip/tar builds (ok, so the tar builds
don't currently make use of this, but they will soon).  This patch adds a
mechanism for removing those files before zipping them up.

This is a dupe (of sorts) of bug 66358.  This is the quick & dirty fix for ff
but there's has to be a better way that doesn't involve hardcoding another
filelist that needs to be checked anytime a file is added or removed from the
installer builds.

Whoops.  I didn't mean to actually dupe that.

re: cls's point... once I get the unix installer fu hooked up for firefox, I'm
going to change it to generate the .zip/.tar builds using the installer package
file.  In the meantime, we're pushing out .zip builds of firefox that are twice
as large as they need to be (statically linked MfcEmbed included.
