just need to check to make sure there are good reasons for some beta4 installers to be almost 1 Megabyte larger than the others. most are around 7.1/7.2 MB's. Here is the list of locales above that mark. could be due to larger dictionary's or other know files. most of the windows installer packages for 7149868 Mar 8 05:06 firefox-3.0b4.ca.win32.installer.exe 7298820 Mar 8 04:52 firefox-3.0b4.en-US.win32.installer.exe 7313465 Mar 8 07:11 firefox-3.0b4.pt-PT.win32.installer.exe 7405142 Mar 8 05:51 firefox-3.0b4.fr.win32.installer.exe 7445477 Mar 8 06:40 firefox-3.0b4.lt.win32.installer.exe 7470482 Mar 8 07:43 firefox-3.0b4.uk.win32.installer.exe 7627384 Mar 8 07:25 firefox-3.0b4.sk.win32.installer.exe 7678308 Mar 8 06:13 firefox-3.0b4.hu.win32.installer.exe 7956803 Mar 8 07:20 firefox-3.0b4.ru.win32.installer.exe 8013510 Mar 8 07:02 firefox-3.0b4.pl.win32.installer.exe
... ca contains help images, the other's have dictionaries. I think.
now set up to compare file sized on installed layouts between any two locales. here are the diffs between pl and en-us. with pl most of the delta is in its 4MB dictionary. 3c3 < ./README.txt 181 --- > ./README.txt 339 5c5 < ./browserconfig.properties 232 --- > ./browserconfig.properties 220 12,13d11 < ./chrome/en-US.jar 667779 < ./chrome/en-US.manifest 1306 15a14,15 > ./chrome/pl.jar 713122 > ./chrome/pl.manifest 1162 66c66 < ./crashreporter-override.ini 583 --- > ./crashreporter-override.ini 707 68c68 < ./crashreporter.ini 3508 --- > ./crashreporter.ini 3896 73c73 < ./defaults/pref/firefox-l10n.js 224 --- > ./defaults/pref/firefox-l10n.js 201 76c76 < ./defaults/profile/bookmarks.html 7139 --- > ./defaults/profile/bookmarks.html 7090 81,83c81,82 < ./defaults/profile/prefs.js 347 < ./dictionaries/en-US.aff 3114 < ./dictionaries/en-US.dic 609731 --- > ./dictionaries/pl_PL.aff 245098 > ./dictionaries/pl_PL.dic 4123787 86c85 < ./flist-en-US.txt 0 --- > ./flist-pl.txt 0 92c91 < ./install.log 20686 --- > ./install.log 20751 107c106 < ./old-homepage-default.properties 112 --- > ./old-homepage-default.properties 106 165,168c164 < ./searchplugins/amazondotcom.xml 1514 < ./searchplugins/answers.xml 2193 < ./searchplugins/creativecommons.xml 1038 < ./searchplugins/eBay.xml 1046 --- > ./searchplugins/allegro-pl.xml 896 170,171c166,170 < ./searchplugins/wikipedia.xml 1183 < ./searchplugins/yahoo.xml 792 --- > ./searchplugins/merlin-pl.xml 917 > ./searchplugins/pbi-pl.xml 1292 > ./searchplugins/pwn-pl.xml 858 > ./searchplugins/wikipedia-pl.xml 1178 > ./searchplugins/wp-pl.xml 1683 177,178c176,177 < ./uninstall/helper.exe 505024 < ./uninstall/uninstall.log 6777 --- > ./uninstall/helper.exe 505680 > ./uninstall/uninstall.log 6817 180c179 < ./updater.ini 706 --- > ./updater.ini 709
