It's sort of half released. I should have named the tarball with rc0 
(rc=release candidate) or something. I am waiting on a resolution of 
some linking weirdness because I'd like to backport the fix before 
making an official release.

and /mozjs-45.0.2/js/src/devtools/rootAnalyssis/tools/breakpad/osx64.

Whoa. That's garbage that was lying around on my personal machine. (And 
you should use a Windows shell that allows cut & paste. Retyping is 
painful. I use rxvt, but Console2 seems popular.)

Thanks for the report. I'll get rid of that for my next repackaging.

Interesting that that only happened on Windows. I tested on Linux and I 
believe someone else tried on osx. Again, thanks for that report. Sadly, 
my Windows dev environment is busted right now, though I could try to 
fix it blindly.
