MX 17 Repository: The Seamonkey Thread

[pcalvert]

we just repackage the prebuilt binaries from mozilla for firefox & seamonkey. they aren't true builds.

That's what I figured. But since that's the case, why are the files not the same? I compared the hash values of the files in /opt/seamonkey with those of the originals, and they don't all match -- 18 of the files have been modified in some way.

Summary report:

Code: Select all

# hashdeep -c sha256 -k seamonkey_2.53.2-hashes.txt -s -a -v -r -o f seamonkey
hashdeep: Audit failed
          Files matched: 96
Files partially matched: 0
            Files moved: 0
        New files found: 18
  Known files not found: 18

This is a list of the files that have been changed:

Code: Select all

# hashdeep -c sha256 -k seamonkey_2.53.2-hashes.txt -s -x -r -o f seamonkey

I'm not surprised. If you look in the mozilla sources for the latest seamonkey-53.2, we don't pull from the /source folder. Instead we get our bits from inux-i686 & linux-x86_64 /en-US/ folders and snag the .bz2 files from there. Our source (the .orig.tar.xz) file is a recompressed tarball from these 2 files and not the source.tar.xz file from the /source folder.

That's where I got the files I used for the comparison. I downloaded seamonkey-2.53.2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 and then installed it manually, like so:

Code: Select all

# tar -xjf seamonkey-2.53.2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 -C /opt

I then used hashdeep to create a text file of hash values:

Code: Select all

# cd /opt
# hashdeep -c sha256 -r -o f seamonkey > seamonkey_2.53.2-hashes.txt

For comparison, I also installed SeaMonkey using the Ubuntuzilla repository (despite the name, it's not an Ubuntu-specific package).

Here is the result from that test:

Code: Select all

# hashdeep -c sha256 -k seamonkey_2.53.2-hashes.txt -s -a -v -r -o f seamonkey
hashdeep: Audit passed
          Files matched: 114
Files partially matched: 0
            Files moved: 0
        New files found: 0
  Known files not found: 0

Not sure what to tell you. This build doesn't even have any patches.
I download the parts, build, sign it & test a couple debs then send it up.
