307497 - Update/AUS for localized builds

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Kadir Topal [:atopal]]

Untill now we don't have a clue, about how updates for localized builds will be
handled. Please give detailed instructions for localization teams and spread all
available and important information to the NG, which is read by most localizers.

Until we can get our heads above water in 1.5, handling updates for release
localizations will be handled in the same way we plan to handle updates for
en-US.  We're working to get complete patches generated automatically and we'll
generate partial patches by hand for these one-off and rare releases in the
beginning.

As for nightly binary patching, there is a large body of work involved in
generating these on the server side.  No ETA is available yet for when that will
happen but it's certainly on our roadmap as another step that would assist us in
ensuring the system works as expected.

The client side app update service has supported this for quite some time. Resolving -> WFM
