649591 - package-name.mk no longer creates pretty named packages for Alphas, Betas, etc.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

Bug 649373 changed package-name.mk as follows so tomorrow's builds don't aren't labeled as alphas on m-c and m-a:
> ifndef MOZ_PKG_LONGVERSION
>-MOZ_PKG_LONGVERSION = $(shell echo $(MOZ_PKG_VERSION) |\
>-                       sed -e 's/a\([0-9][0-9]*\)$$/ Alpha \1/' |\
>-                       sed -e 's/b\([0-9][0-9]*\)$$/ Beta \1/' |\
>-                       sed -e 's/rc\([0-9][0-9]*\)$$/ RC \1/')
>+MOZ_PKG_LONGVERSION = $(shell echo $(MOZ_PKG_VERSION))
> endif

It isn't clear to me what c-c will be doing but off the top of my head I think we should just have Firefox define MOZ_PKG_LONGVERSION so it won't create pretty names and restore this code but I'm probably missing something.

triaging, I don't think the bug is relevant anymore
