792752 - MPL 2 upgrade: l10n for km

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: km / Khmer, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Attachment: Patch v.1

This language needs some or all of its l10n files to be upgraded to the MPL 2 licence. The current status in the aurora repo http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/ is:

Summary of Licenses in Files
============================
 Number  Percent License
------- -------- -----------
    251   50.30% mpl2
    152   30.46% <none found>
     88   17.64% mpl/gpl/lgpl (standard block)
      6    1.20% <unknown license>
      2    0.40% pd
----------------------------
    499 files processed

I have a script which can do the relicensing automatically. Please find a patch attached. Please review it and commit it as soon as possible. (The aim is to have the relicensing finished by the end of September.) If there are any problems, please let me know.

Thanks :-)

Hi Vannak,

It depends on how you normally do your localizing. Do you check out a copy of the l10n repo using Mercurial and then use some tool? Or do you have a web-based tool?

I used the web tool Narro. So how should i do that?

Comment 5

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Vannak: I am working with the l10n core team to try and see what the best way forward is for teams who use web-based tools.

Not sure when this was fixed, a number of changesets introduce changes.  But definitely all fixed by latest commit 8730d6659c05

Updated status. I think there's still some work to do here. 

Dwayne, is it safe to assume that these files are outside of Pootle's field of action and we can land a patch on km's repository?

As a side note, why the heck do we have scripts (perl, bash) in /extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/dictionary-sources/?

I think these should be removed at once.

Most of the files are from /mail and /editor, some though are for Firefox

/browser/chrome/browser/devtools/inspector.dtd
/browser/searchplugins/wikipedia-km.xml
/dom/chrome/security/security.properties

All strange licenses are from the hunspell folder.

This patch removes also the BOM in km/browser/searchplugins/wikipedia-km.xml

Dwayne: looks like you're the only committer to this repository. 
Let me know if it's ok to land this patch on mozilla-aurora

Comment 13

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

According to the current dashboard, only Firefox is localized for km, while those files are from other projects (Thunderbird mainly).
https://l10n.mozilla.org/shipping/dashboard?locale=km

So those files are not currently managed by Pootle, which is the tool used by this localization team. If the Khmer team will decide to localize these projects, new license header will be picked up.

The attached patch was committed on mozilla-aurora and merged down to l10n-central
