Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 99050

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Jason M. Abels]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

Instead of putting a static net installer into
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/
you could instead put a dynamic one that pulls xpi files from that same
directory. This would enable a single download of the net installer, which could
then be run every day or so. If new files exist, it will install, if not, then
nothing will happen. This would keep those who whis to work with nightly builds
from having to go to http://www.mozilla.org for the full installer, or the ftp
site for the net installer, every day. This would only apply to the net
installer placed in latest-night, or perhaps to a specially-branded installer.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Net intaller statically points to dated xpi files

Expected Results:  
net installer could point to latest-nightly directly to have an up-to-date xpi
set whenever run.
