213070 - bad relative paths stored in application package

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[Sean McGovern]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030718
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030718

Paths for nsinstall, mangle, and shlibsign are stored as relative symlinks when
all the other binaries in the package, at least in dist/, have absolute paths.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build Mach-O Mozilla with 'ac_add_options --enable-crypto'
2. Observe relative paths for nsinstall, mangle, and shlibsign inside the
application bundle

Actual Results:  
The build is successful but cannot be packaged.

Expected Results:  
Paths to these binaries should be absolute.

MacOS X builds seem to work for me and the people who package Mozilla seem to be
able to do so.  Absent a patch or feedback from mozilla.org packagers, I don't
see much happening with this bug.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
