What's the problem here? I don't follow what this bug is about.

This is blocking b2g gecko multilocale.
Filed here per Dietrich.

Btw - I moved this over dom apps because the code being referenced falls under that component (DOM: Apps).

In what sense? I'm trying to understand what's needed on the dom apps area a bit better. The code being referenced appears to be analyzing the locales property in the app manifest.

I'm just transcribing issues from an email thread to bugzilla; more info coming later from those familiar with the issues.

I imagine the problem is we'll hit problems with multilocale builds switching locales properly if we get locale-specific info here.

This code helps to get the right values out of manifests when we have several locales specified in the manifest. This jsm is only used by chrome code, so gaia needs to reimplement something similar if that's not already the case.

See comment 2. This bug is not actionable in its current form, while having a dramatic sounding title.

Ok, it's related to the changes coming up in bug 812784

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I'm unhooking this bug and resolving it INCOMPLETE.

I've been pondering a bit more about the problems, and I don't think my approach in bugs 812784 and 796051 works.
