I suggest that bug 181641 blocks this conversion.

Another possible blocker is bug 181707.

I believe bug 182135 "Mach-O Mozilla fails to launch" should be included here. I
am unable to launch the Mach-o nightly from 11/26/02.

[Paul Bergsagel]

I filed a bug earlier today bug 182135 when I couldn't get the Mach-O build to
launch. After recieving an email with instructions about how to launch Mach-O
from the command line and open the profile manager
(Mozilla.app/Contents/MacOS/mozilla-bin -ProfileManager) I was able to get the
browser to recognize my profile. (Thanks Gregg).

I have marked bug 182135 as invalid. Now my concern is this: many users of
Mozilla will not be very skilled with the command line to start Mozilla and get
their previous profile recognized and Mozilla Mach-O up and running. My profile
is on a volume different from OS X and I almost could not figure out what to
type into the command line. I suggest, politely, that an easier way to first
start up the Mach-O build is needed before migration from CFM. A simple
applescript, if this can be done, would be preferable than having to use the
command line.

I apologize for posting an invalid bug and wasting developer's time.

BTW Good work. Mach-O does seem to be ~20 percent faster than Mach-O.

Paul, that comment isn't particularly relevant to that bug. Please keep
discussion about that to the bug in question, bug 182135, or to Mozilla user
forums such as those on MozillaZine. Thanks.

verif. It's been a long time in coming (ok well not quite as long as the opened
date on this bug would make you believe) and my congulations and thanks go to
the macdev team. We've come a long way since I was building the Mach-o nightlies
on an old G3 under my desk.
