User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021210 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021210 I'm self building Mozilla (svg, xft, gtk2) under Linux (RH 8). The Javascript nagger on http://www.mozilla.org/start/ has a conditional check for self-builds. It checks against a build date of "0000000000" (a string of 10 zeros). However, the build date retrieved from the user agent string following the string "Gecko" is only 8 characters long - as per the format of "%08d" in gbdate.pl which creates it. So the javascript script needs to be modified to check for "00000000" (8 zeros) to turn of the nag for self builds. More generally, I kind of wondered why the Gecko build date and the Mozilla build date can be independently set and use different formats (8 characters versus 10 characters). I've read the discussion in bug 131116 where some of this was addressed earlier ... gbdate.pl Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. MOZ_BUILD_DATE="0000000000" 2. build 3. start mozilla, get a (friendly) nag about upgrading
