174125 - Info.plist is corrupted in mozilla carbon cfm nightly builds

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike]

On the lastest nightly builds (as of 10/12/2002), the Info.plist is corrupted.
It has garbage characters before and after it, and the line breaks are Mac OS
style instead of UNIX style. This prevents the user from setting Mozilla as the
default browse in System Preferences. Simply deleting the garbage without
changing the line breaks causes LaunchServices (hence the whole GUI envetually)
to crash, and makes it impossible to log in graphically. The fix is to eliminate
the garbage characters and change the line breaks to UNIX style.

Related to bug 173355? (See also bug 173963, comment 5.)

Well, let's say that 173355 will fix this as well, but it's not the cause of the
problem.
The cause is that we "cvs admin" this file to remove the -kb flag that was
misleading on this plain text file.

fix checked in as part of 173355.
Please verify against tomorrow's nightly build.

Also, due to the growing number of flavors of mozilla builds running on MacOS X,
please remember to mention which one you're seeing the problem with (cfm carbon,
mach-o carbon, chimera). Thanks!

All fixed, thanks a bunch! Now if only I could get the IE Mac team to post a
response to the PNG bug report I filed. Oh right, I didn't file it because I
can't can't! Keep up the great work guys.

I'm new to the whole bugzilla scene, and I was wondering: When you say "verify",
does that mean I should check off "Mark bug as VERIFIED"?

Yes, changing the resolution to VERIFIED means "The fix has been VERIFIED and
the bug is gone". Basically same as CLOSED which we never use. Thanks for asking.

now changing resolution to VERIFIED (status remains RESOLVED).

Thanks again!
