53881 - zip cmdline length is too long

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[cls]

The posix standard for the length of a command line is 4k chars. If you look at
the log file in the url, you'll see that we easily transcend this limit while
updating classic.jar in themes/classic.  At first, I thought this was just a
shell cmdline length problem but I'm seeing repeated reports of people under
win98 having problems as well (although I cannot reproduce it there).  The
script needs to be updated to only add files in reasonable chunks.

There was a much easier way to do this... Just break up the jar.mn file, e.g. 
instead of this:

classic.jar:
  foo
  bar
  baz # where this one pushes you over the limit

just say this:

classic.jar:
  foo
  bar

classic.jar:
  baz
