Confirmed, investigating.

So we have used the buildIDs from the mono-arch mac64 builds that we were done for a5 through to b6. Specifcally, the problem arises from bug 628690, in particular:

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=mozilla/tools/patcher-configs&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=moz20-branch-patcher2.cfg&rev1=1.16&rev2=1.17&root=/cvsroot

That config was copied to the one we used for this MU work.

I can confirm that if I download a Mac64 build that I do get offered the correct update (although sans the billboard, which is another issue)

Comment 5

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Mac 64 build I referred to in Comment 4 was 3.7a5.

This is fixed now. My working notes are at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_5.0b1/BuildNotes#Mac_BuildID_issues. 

I'll fix the config files on bug 651982.

I tested downloading Mac32 builds and I do now get the update offer.
