1844422 - sign custom updater.exe for debugging

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, task)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

I've been talking with bytesized about how to debug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1840617. The only way they can think to move forward is to give the user a custom updater.exe binary with some extra debugging code in it. That part is no big deal - but we also want to make sure the user can update to a real build afterwards without intervention. This means they'll need an updater.exe that can accept release signed mars, which is signed with our official authenticode certificates.

We're going to build this on birch and run it through adhoc-signing to get it properly signed.

It turns out that the signing part wasn't needed - just an adjustment to the embedded MAR certs.
