palemoon.res is empty

Apparently omni.jar has been replaced with palemoon.res to store image and language resources.

However when I unzip palemoon.res I see a lot of folders and files but every one of them contains zero data. Absolutely all of them are blank.

palemoon.res is only created when using ./mach package which is a necessary step before creating an installer, otherwise there can be about 8,600 additional files to deal with which takes forever when using an installer.

Is the package-list misconfigured? Where is that packing-list?

The palemoon.res file format uses Brotli compression; what are you using to extract with?

No problem now. The files do have content and I did find the manifest file, thanks
