See bug 36358 and bug 53462. Many regular nightly testers have - no use for the test apps and the decompressed jars (especially since they can easily regenerate the latter) - bzip2 installed, which provides far better compression than gz Please provide a linux tarball download with only the distribution files (as defines by the packages-* files and bzip2 compressed. Implementation should be something like cd xpinstall/packager; MOZ_PKG_FORMAT=BZ2 make dist

I think this is actually a dup of a bug from several months ago that leaf has, but I don't recall the # offhand and don't have time to look into it. but we talked about creating a tarball based on the packages-* files, but got sucked into the whole NS6 pr3/RTM maze.

Sorry about the spam. An unset priority should be less than P5.

not a dup. this bug asks for bz2, the other one for zip. Also, this bug has already a build target, you just have to use it.

also, I#d prefer *not* to have talkback included, to keep size small.

It looks like this bug has been forgotten about. As Ben mentions, there is a build target for this already, so this one should be easy to fix. Does it just need to be hooked up with the nightly build jobs?

re-accepting. We have .zip files, i'll try and get bz2 files added as well.

Ping. Who's watching this bug / cares about it?

I do. I think that installers and Unix don't fit, so the tarball should be polished for end-users / admins.

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-1.6a1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 I think this bug was fixed quite a while ago (or is there something I'm not understanding about this?)

Mass reassign of open bugs for chase@mozilla.org to build@mozilla-org.bugs.

We are no longer generating Linux installer builds either. We want talkback in the regular nightly builds, however there will be non-branded builds (without talkback) once bug 337524 is resolved.
