274427 - Nightlies filenames shouldn't include a version number

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

Currently, the latest nightly en-US Windows installer lives at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-1.0+.en-US.win32.installer.exe
but when the version number is bumped to 1.1+, this will change to
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-1.1+.en-US.win32.installer.exe

"1.0+" can describe any build between 1.0 and 1.1; a 1.0+ build could be
virtually identical to 1.0 or virtually identical to 1.1, so "1.0+" contributes
no value.

The version number should just be omitted.

Reproducible: Always

mozilla nightlies don't include version number:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/

(shouldn't this be in mozilla.org product?)

Quite possibly.
