Investigating to see if ssu's libjar fix worked for the Mac too.

is this a blocker?

Comment 3

[Grace Bush]

I used  the netscape....bin file which unstuffed and launched ok

Comment 4

[Samir Gehani]

No, I don't think this is a blocker since as Grace points out we have the 
netscape5-mac-M14.sea.bin file and its mozilla equivalent for QA to install 
from.

just fyi, we had a crash while running RegXPCOM this morning, as part of the 
packaging process. After killing the task, the automation automatically resumed 
but I noticed in the log that one of the ftp session timed out... meaning that 
one of the uploads probably failed.
Let's hope for a better result tomorrow.

FYI, I'm still building the tip and may only get to this tomorrow. So, due to 
nsIFile changes this may still be broken tomorrow.

The XPInstall engine appears broken on the Mac. This bug had to do with the 
installer, not the engine, hence closing. I've opened bug 25288. In the future, 
please don't reopen this bug. Open a new one since we are usually dealing iwth 
*different* problems when we see installer failure during extraction.
