>Description:
While building Mozilla wiht --enable-chrome-format=jar (the default),
the build would fail while testing the integrity of en-US.jar, which
is just a zip file.
Upon further investigation, it turned out that doing
zip test.zip anyfile
followed by
zip -T test.zip
always would yield an error about a missing end signature.
Here is the exact message:
zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you
zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)
zip error: Zip file structure invalid (test.zip)
This is done with zip-2.3 on a 21164A running 4.4-STABLE.
It has not been established wether this is spesific for the Alpha or
not, but I suspect it is since breaking the Mozilla build is something
that the i386 crowd would have screamed about a long time ago.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the following (on an Alpha):
zip [name of zip file] [any file]
zip -T [name of zip file]
