1443938 - Remove references to signing in build scripts

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

Signing is now a discrete task in taskcluster so the signing support in build scripts can be removed and ride the trains

side note: I'm not sure how Linux distros sign their builds, I assume this doesn't impact them

from #releng
how do Linux distros sign their Firefox builds that they compile from source?
<kmoir> Kim Moir do they sign with their own certificate?
4:42 PM there's no signing of the binaries inside the package on linux
<•bhearsum> for our own builds, we only make detached gpg sigs for the tarballs
4:43 PM i'm not sure about distro builds, but i imagine they sign firefox builds in the same way they sign packages for any other thing they 
kmoir> Kim Moir okay thanks
<Callek> basically "up to the distro"
4:59 PM but yea, generally they don't do gpg signing or any such stuff and rely on their package manager's cert/key stuff and hash pins for generated rpm/deb/etc
4:59 PM (that is "generally" what I recall seeing a long while back)
