1290883 - Refactor compare-locales to do more than one app at a time, like both firefox and fennec, with multiple locales

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1361037

(Localization Infrastructure and Tools :: compare-locales, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

We're spending a lot of time in compare-locales doing toolkit over and over.

I did some perf measurements, and in particular the XML parser for the DTD checks is taking a lot of time.

To make this more efficient, we should refactor compare-locales to do:

Compare an en-US string to each locale for each app.

Instead of compare a complete module for one app for each locale, all strings at a time.

We'll need to provide an alternative json output, too.

This refactor should get us also a long way for bug 1280906, "partial things" support in compare-locales
