Details

Here's the dir listing for http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/candidates/20.0-candidates/build1/sdk/ 463M xulrunner-20.0.en-US.linux-i686.sdk.tar.bz2 454M xulrunner-20.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.sdk.tar.bz2 61M xulrunner-20.0.en-US.mac-i386.sdk.tar.bz2 64M xulrunner-20.0.en-US.mac-x86_64.sdk.tar.bz2 33M xulrunner-20.0.en-US.win32.sdk.zip Something is obviously wrong here, but I'm not sure whether the Mac/win32 sdks are missing files, or whether the linux ones are packaging too much. I pulled apart the linux sdk and there are multiple copies of libxul.so, two of which are >500MB. 28297188 ./bin/libxul.so 621709940 ./lib/libxul.so 621709940 ./sdk/lib/libxul.so Indeed, the sdk/lib subdir seems to be an exact copy of of the root-level lib/ dir. We need to pass these files around to get them signed and such, and each new major release seems to add about 30M to the size of the sdk tarball. This is not scaling well. Hoping someone can take a look at the packaging for the sdk and figure out what is wrong.
This is bug 812105, currently fixed on central and aurora. Dunno how easy it would be to uplift.

If this will be fixed with the next uplift, I'm fine to let it ride for now. I'll work around it to get the current beta out.

I'm going to try to land it, pending approval. Given that it's only beta 1, I don't think we should be eating the cost of this for a full cycle.
