The above means that all URLs pointing to releases.mozilla.org for SeaMonkey must be redirected to ftp.mozilla.org. I have already identified the following:
- All langpacks at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#langpacks
- All URLs for Linux64 at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#contrib

I haven't checked the links found on the pages for beta and older releases but I suspect they too must be edited.

I'm setting the Severity to major because as long as those links aren't fixed they'll give Error 404 or the equivalent.

Attachment: disabling patch

Just in case this needs to be reverted (and to know how) I've disabled releases.mozilla.org instead of removing/replacing it.

VERIFIED by checking the langpack & L64 links on the "All Platforms and Languages" pages for the 2.17.1 and 2.18b4 releases, plus a random selection of older releases.

Feel free to REOPEN with details (or maybe open a followup bug) if "wrong" links are still found at places I didn't check.

Attachment: comment syntax fix

Turns out I broke (at least) seamonkey_versions.json which I didn't even know existed. The cause was in config.tmpl which is structured a bit differently than release.tmpl, requiring the first of the two commenting techniques explained on <http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Syntax.html#section_Comments>. Funnily I could probably have avoided all this if I had removed the download_allfiles part completely since it seems it's not used anymore (but I'm not sure).


use comments according to Template Toolkit rules
