521974 - Package en-US help files when localized help is not available

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, enhancement)

Description

[Rimas Kudelis [use needinfo to ping]]

I don't know how many localizations ignore SeaMonkey's help files, but I guess there are some. Currently what we get to do is just copy original help files from en-US and commit/push them, but I think it would benefit all of us if we could just omit those files from our repos, and have en-US files used automatically in that case.

A rule like this and an extra help-jar.mn could fix that: 

ifndef NO_DIST_INSTALL
libs realchrome:: $(CHROME_DEPS) $(FINAL_TARGET)/chrome
	$(PYTHON) $(MOZILLA_DIR)/config/JarMaker.py \
	  $(QUIET) -j $(FINAL_TARGET)/chrome \
	  $(MAKE_JARS_FLAGS) $(XULPPFLAGS) $(DEFINES) $(ACDEFINES) \
	  -c $(topsrcdir)/$(relativesrcdir)/en-US \
	  help-jar.mn
endif

Probably want to add ignoring the missing files in filter.py, too.
