Details

We need to get an updated MozillaBuild out.  We've got some fixes on trunk, and we should get just a few more fixes in and then release.  We'll punt MSYS updates and some other things to the next version.
Depends on: 406827
This is blocking 346214. There was no time to fix for beta2, but this is a blocker for beta3.

RC is up at:
http://people.mozilla.com/~tmielczarek/MozillaBuild-1.2rc.exe

Ben and I are building with it to test, would appreciate additional testing, especially for VC9 and the start-l10n.bat.
Hopefully we can get bug 409114 in before the release?

I don't know that I'd hold up for that, I'll give you a day to try to sort it out.  :-)

Mass re-assign of MozillaBuild bugs into mozilla.org:MozillaBuild
Given bug 409260 we're not going to release this rc.  Also seems to have a bug with cvs checkout, winding up with multiple recursive copies of the source tree under mozilla/build/autoconf.
No longer depends on: 409260
Strong suggestion: update to latest version (v4.57) of 7-Zip.  It takes better advantage of multi-CPU machines, so the compression is faster.

Mild suggestion: use a more recent version of the NSIS installer.  Not *the* latest, though, because versions after 2.29 don't like the Firefox script (at least not for branch builds).

I just checked out, built, and created an installer without issue on Vista with VC8 Express. It should be noted that start-msys*.bat must be run as Administrator on Vista.

Can you file bugs about those in mozilla.org:MozillaBuild?
We're not taking anything more in MozillaBuild 1.2.  We'll take suggestions for 1.3 though.  FWIW, 1.2 includes NSIS 2.33 with unicode support (alongside the version currently shipping with MozillaBuild 1.1)
Fixed!
