Changing from P3 to P1 since this affects the doc.

Install Builder isn't making M11.

Note that the only difference between CD and Network builds now is the presence
of the Autorun directory in CD builds.

Comment 6

reopening...

Isn't network downloadable build referring to CCK's ability to build a self
extracting executable?(which by default shouldn't have an autorun)

Not exactly.  The seamonkey32e.exe is self-extracting, but it only extracts the
stub installer.  The rest of the install comes from the network.  What's
actually missing is the code that puts the URL0 values into the config.ini.

The presence or absence of the cd autorun is not as critical.  What I was trying
to say is that the customizations of the browser itself are identical between
the CD and Network builds.  I'm no longer convinced it makes sense to have two
copies of all the XPI files just because one of them needs to have an autorun.

Since the network installer needs to be moved out of whatever place we dump it
and placed on a server, we'll need documentation that describes how to do that.
I'm proposing that we get rid of the CD/Network directory combination and just
have one directory for both purposes.  The documentation can then tell people
what stuff to ignore if they build both CD and Network in the same config.

Any objections?

Reasigning bug to Varada.

Marking as invalid - since in the case of a network build - we merely put the
ftp location value in the config.ini and the Seamonkey32e.exe fetches the xpi or
exe from that location.
