Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Attachment: Patch v1

I added an extra deprecation warning for 'symlink', just to be extra helpful to the quite a few people I know of that are using it. Should I do the same for 'both'? I don't know of anyone using it to be honest.

While here, can you change this to something like "Select FORMAT of chrome files during packaging"

Addressed previous comments and also made packager.py treat 'symlink' the same as 'jar', so it can actually produce a package.

I'd rather not touch packager.py here.

You are right, the packager.py change is not needed. That's what I get for working in two computers at the same time.
