72496 - How to get all platform files without downoading 3 Browsers?

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization: Localization, defect)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

For L10n work, I have to get all en-<platform>.jar files to do packages.
However, to do this currently, I have to download 3 complete browser packages to
get the 3 files. Couldn't we get those files alone (perhaps in one .zip package)
from ftp.mozilla.org? I shouldn't be a big thing to do this, because they're
already created, packaged into the browser .zip/.tar.gz/.bin files for our
platforms and then uploaded to ftp.mozilla.org
So if we get them into /latest/ (or better also the other directories in
/nightly/), it would be quite cool and I could start giving win32 users what
they really want :)

Hi, Robert:


I have the patch to package all three en-xxx.jar into langenus.xpi on win32 and 
linux. (mac to follow). Will check them in as soon as tree open.

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

Nice, will this langenus.xpi be available for/with nightlies at ftp.mozilla.org?
Is this in those installer builds? (I think, xpi installer builds are only built
for linux currently, right?)

Jon, please verify this on all platforms and check if the correct platform 
specific jar file is picked up for the build running on the corresponding 
platform.

Verfied with build 2001-09-12 branch.

1. Win: en-win.jar, en-mac.jar and en-unix.jar in langenus.xpi.
2. Mac: en-mac.jar in langenus.xpi.
3. Linux: en-win.jar, en-mac.jar and en-unix.jar in langenus.xpi.

Still need to add en-win.jar and en-unix.jar into Mac build. Reopen bug.
