328369 - CRC Checksum failures on 1.8 branch nightly partial updates

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(AUS Graveyard :: Systems, defect)

I'm filing this in AUS/system because that's where 327140 is sitting to. But I don't think this is a morgamic bug so moving him off the assign to field :).

Now that we are starting to get partial updates back (327140), I'm running into a problem with one of the partials being generated on the 1.8 branch for Windows Thunderbird.

There's a CRC failure for mail.xpt when applying this partial patch.

Download an 02/22 build from:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2006-02-22-10-mozilla1.8

Now try to check for updates and you'll see that we fail because of a CRC error on mail.xpt using the partial for this build to a build from the 23rd. This usually means that the patch was generated using a file (mail.xpt) that wasn't what we thought it was). 

The MAR file in question is:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2006-02-22-10-mozilla1.8/thunderbird-1.5.en-US.win32.partial.2006022208-2006022306.mar

I wonder if this is just fall out from not having a good set of partial update files until just recently due to 327140?

Partials are stable and working these days.
