397625 - (land-lv) Land Latvian (lv) and prepare it for the branch

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: lv / Latvian, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Let's get the Latvian localization landed and ready for branching.

I'll do the initial landing, with the modifications I layed out in the registration bug 304549.

Comment 1

So, I did the initial landing, and added lv to the incubator.

You should be able to check out your localization with

cvs -z3 -d [e-mail]:/l10n co l10n/lv

or by adding

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../build
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_LOCALES=lv
mk_add_options LOCALES_CO_TAG=HEAD
ac_add_options --disable-compile-environment
mk_add_options LOCALES_CVSROOT=[e-mail]:/l10n

to your .mozconfig. The latter will set you up to do incubator language packs and builds locally, with a client.mk from the 1.8 branch,
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk

make -f client.mk l10n-checkout

should get you your files then (it might bust on the browser/config include on the first check-out, though, just get that by hand).

The incubator build machinery is at http://l10n.mozilla.org/buildbot/, you can find the language packs it generates at http://l10n.mozilla.org/~buildslave/incubator/.

The next step would be to test this language pack and to fix remaining bugs. Do you have testers on all three platforms, windows, mac, linux?

I get 403 Permission denied for http://l10n.mozilla.org/~buildslave/incubator/firefox-2.0.0.8pre.lv.langpack.xpi

Just getting to know how to build lang-packs localy, but I would prefer to get daily builds or something from your server for testing.

And yes we have testers for all three OS.

Comment 3

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Sorry, the permissions are fixed now (and will stay fixed, I fixed it in the build side).

Nice to hear that you have good testing coverage on OSes. One thing to test in particular will be the dialog sizes on the various OSes, that's the most platform-dependent thing we have. One way to get constructive feedback on that is described on http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Dialog_sizes.

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Raivis, could you undo the changes you did to brand.properties and brand.dtd? The naming choice will be done by the build process, the non-official builds should be branded as Bon Echo, and with --enable-official-branding, the build picks up the versions in other-licenses, which then sets the branding to Firefox.

Comment 5

[Raivis Dejus]

No new bugs have been found. We have tested this localization a lot on all three platforms before applieing for a CVS account.

Do we have to do anything else or can someone please close this bug?

Comment 6

[Raivis Dejus]

bump!
has there been any progress? I would really like to see latvian firefox officially out there :)

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Resolving WORKSFORME, we're having a landing on CVS, though we won't branch for 2.0, that's resolved WONTFIX after discussion with Orvil on irc.
