As the +name of the shell script implies, ``repackage.sh`` merely repackages +binary distributions in a different format. + +Before you run ``repackage.sh``, you need to have built the binary +distributions using the "gmake release" makefile target. These binary +distributions are jar files, which are really zip files, and they are +published in the directory ``/share/builds/components``. This design +comes from the Netscape days. + +The ``repackage.sh`` script repackages the jar files into the form most +commonly used on that platform. So on Unix it repackages the jar files +into gzipped tar files, and on Windows it repackages the jar files into +zip files. + +Edit the ``repackage.sh`` script to customize it for your environment. + +After you have run ``repackage.sh``, follow the +`instructions <http://www.mozilla.org/build/ftp-stage.html>`__ in to +upload the files to ftp.mozilla.org's staging server, so that they +eventually show up on ftp.mozilla.org. The host ftp.mozilla.org can be +accessed via the ftp, http, and https protocols. We recommend using +https://ftp.mozilla.org/. + +**Note:** For NSS, the script equivalent to NSPR's ``repackage.sh`` is +``/u/robobld/bin/sbsinit/nss/push/buildbindist.sh`` in the "SVBuild" +source tree. |
