Description

[juan becerra [:juanb]]

We will also need to do some test runs on minor updates from 3.5 to 3.6.

Like I said in bug 515417...

"fwiw, this isn't all that "future". It needs to be done right after 3.6 beta 1
is built."

This one might be more important because we've never done a minor update like this before.

We're trying to manage our triage queue, and it's growing.
If we let it get unmanageable, we'll miss urgent bugs.

Wasn't clear to me if RE: Future is just as dead as SO: Future, which is why I commented...

Attachment: Fix packaging on mozilla-1.9.2

This are the packaging fixes after doing a 3.5.5 to 3.6b2 major update.  In summary:
* oji.xpt is shipped for Mac 3.5.x, but not combined into browser.xpt for 3.6. Add it to the package manifest and remove the old file
* res/{broken,loading}-image.gif were converted to pngs in bug 420811 but put in an #ifdef XP_MACOSX section. Moved outside of that to get all platforms
* ../Resources/firefox-bin.rsrc was removed by bug 363747 (mac only)
* libwidget.rsrc was removed by bug 464315 (mac only)
* icons/mozicon{16,50}.xpm were removed by bug 499226 (linux only)
* old-homepage-default.properties was removed by 504953 (all)

95% the same as the m-1.9.2 patch. It leaves out packaging oji.xpt because that's been removed from m-c, and the context is different for res/*-image.gif since the pngs got moved into a jar on m-c.

We seriously need a more automated solution to catch this. Thanks, Nick.

I like that we can ship a broken OJI in betas and nobody will notice until we actually release.  :-(

It's working well on XP and Win 7. I've noted in the spreadsheet that when Tab Mix Plus is installed, under some conditions, the app state is not preserved after update restart. Other OSs should be completed by tomorrow.

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

We enabled the 3.5.7 -> 3.6 final major update today with the general release of 3.6. Configs for that we put on bug 540666.
