hard for them to test.

Putting on [NEED INFO] radar.  Can someone explain impace to user and why a 
beta2 blocker please?  Thanks!
Whiteboard: [NEED INFO]
This bug prevents localization of XPInstall into double-byte languages (e.g. 
Japanese). In addition fixing this would require a fair amount of internal API 
changing and it seemed better to take the hit now.

If you can live with it, I can live with it--but CC'ing i18n folks to get their 
input :-)
Spoke with dveditz. Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.
Whiteboard: [NEED INFO] → [nsbeta2-]
These won't make 6.0 for sure

Is there any one working on this? Two bugs this bug depends on have been fixed a
long time ago. Cathleen, can you resurrect your check-ins? Well, I can do
'code-achaelogoy'...

The xpinstall script engine has been removed from the trunk, bugs in it are obsolete.
