 I noticed some [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/partner-repacks/file/ script/files] related with partner repacks... [[User:BartZilla|BartZilla]] 00:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
+Just a few quick answers to the questions, sorry it took so long to get a reply in, I'll be blogging shortly about them, too.
+* Bug IDs have been MoCo confidential in the past. We're changing this with 3.0.9, and all released partner repacks will be tracked publicly from the Releases page, with links to the builds and individual bugs.
+* The changes vary by repack, but typically there are changes to the AUS channel, preferences and, in some cases, additional search plugins and/or extensions. we'll be posting details of each of the distributions in the near term.
+* All partner repacks are based on the stock release of Firefox. The files in the source installer are not altered in any way. All modifications are done via an extension or distribution customization that is additive only (e.g. separate files from the default). The HG repo you mention above contains those modifications for the repack process. No original files are modified or deleted by the repack process.
+* The distributions were for versions of Firefox with Google Toolbar that were distributed through different organizations (e.g. Real Networks and DivX, which distributed Firefox w/Google Toolbar w/ their installer at one point or another).
+* We'll be making them available for public browsing/download in the near term. We're in the process of making the repack generation part of the regular build process (target is 3.0.10 for implementation), and we'll also be adding them to the Partnerships section on mozilla.com.
