+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug 451185 / Bug 451981 +++ Robert's comment: To be able to check if our package lists are OK, it would be nice to have a build target that outputs a diff of the dist/bin directory and the files in the package list. This gives us a fast check what we aren't packaging and what we have in the package list that isn't built any more. Our builder boxes could even execute that so we can look into their logs and see that package diff easily.

pack-list.txt still contains wildcards. the following line looks ugly but expands them: grep "^bin" $(MOZ_PKG_MANIFEST) | sed -e 's/\\/\//g' | perl -e 'while(<>){if($$_=~/\*/){while(glob $$_){print $$_."\n";}}else{print $$_}}'| sort > $(DIST)/pack-list.txt

Yes, I noticed that but decided to use the same code as Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. I thought interpreting the output of the command above and deciding if the packages file needs to be updated is a different topic.

Comment on attachment 340286 [details] [diff] [review] add package-compare target though i would prefer an output that vanishes if everything is ok instead of pages of output to analyze. especially when used in automated builds.

Pushed to comm-central <http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/b7a5744f2be7> -> FIXED
