-* TBD
+* Fixed steeplechase to download binary packages (firefox-latest-nightly*[.tar.bz2|.zip|.dmg]) and have the clients expand the packages. There are three reasons to do this:
+# Performance - It is much faster to push the binary and unpack it on the client.
+# Mac - The mac has the necessary commands to expand .dmg files, so it makes sense to do it on the client.
+# Mac v2 layout - (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1075985) - steeplechase only copies the directory where the firefox binary lives, which works on older Mac firefoxes, because the auxiliary directories were copied along. Now those aux directories are not in the same directory as the firefox binary, so that does not work. Rather than fix steeplechase to do all of that work, we copy packages down instead.
