249317 - mac disk image packaging should use gzip -f

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Jon Granrose]

Was setting up a new firefox tinderbox and testing my post-mozilla.pl so
mozilla/dist was already there, including the previous builds .dmg.gz file, so
gzip stopped and asked if it should overwrite it.  Due to the logging, the
prompt doesn't show in the terminal window, so it took me about 10 mins of
waiting for the script to do something before I hit return at which point the
tinderbox resumed.

We should be using "gzip -vf9" for the mac disk image packaging rather than
"gzip -9", just like we do for linux.

Patch off the aviary 1.0 branch attached.  May need to update the trunk as well.

Firefox doesn't use xpinstall/packager any more, it uses
toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.mk, but r=me to make this change to both
files.
