279660 - Options in tar command of packager is not valid for HP-UX

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260174

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Gowri Kandasamy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The final create command for tar is not valid for HP-UX:
"CREATE_FINAL_TAR = tar -c --owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner --mode="go-w" -f "

Code :

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstall/packager/Makefile.in

104 CREATE_FINAL_TAR = tar -c --owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner --mode="go-w" -f
105 
106 ifeq ($(MOZ_PKG_FORMAT),TAR)
107 PKG_SUFFIX      = .tar
108 MAKE_PACKAGE    = $(CREATE_FINAL_TAR) - $(MOZ_PKG_APPNAME) > $(PACKAGE)
109 MAKE_SDK        = $(CREATE_FINAL_TAR) - $(SDK_PKG_APPNAME)-$(SDK_DIR) > $(SDK)
110 endif


Error:
 cd ../../dist && tar -c --owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner --mode="go-w" -f -
gecko-sdk | gzip -vf9 > gecko-sdk-hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00.tar.gz
tar: cannot open /dev/rmt/0m
  0.0%


 As owner & group are not valid argumnets in HP-UX tar command , this fails.

Solution:

ifeq ($(OS_ARCH),HP-UX)
CREATE_FINAL_TAR = tar -cf
else
CREATE_FINAL_TAR = tar -c --owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner --mode="go-w" -f
endif

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Running package command on mozilla build causes failure.
