RC11 l10n builds available for testing

[J. Paul Reed]

Win32 was a bit late, but they're all there now:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2.0rc1-candidates/rc1/

If there any problems, feel free to email me.

At startup these builds try to open that page:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/firstrun/
that generates a 404 Page Not Found error. Is this intentional?

Couple issues found with the files in that directory:

gu-IN - I see Linux and Mac builds. There should be _no_ Mac builds
and Win32 builds are missing
pa-IN - There are Mac builds. These should _not_ be included.
ts - Missing Mac builds

Yes, that's OK, there is a bug on file to get that up before release.

Paul has this in his inbox already, but
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353467 blocked us from
getting en-GB builds in that cycle.

I'll check up on all these after my Seneca presentation (which is
starting in a few minutes), but for the extra builds, they're expected.

We prune the builds we don't ship later in the signing/staging process.

As for the missing builds, that's more of a problem; I'll check up on
them this afternoon.

RC11? Wow, I didn't know you've progressed that far already ;-)

Just out of curiosity, why won't we be shipping mac builds for gu-IN or pa-IN?

Because our Mac font code doesn't understand the system fonts that
provide characters for the Gujarati and Gurmukhi scripts, so the entire
user interface shows up in "glyph not found" characters.

Heh. I suppose that's reasonable.

Any news on the en-GB (all), gu-IN (win), and ts(win) builds?

The testing on all Tier 1 and spot checks of tier 2 locales are all
done. They all PASS! We are "GO" from QA to move on to updates after
the builds above are done.

gu-IN win32 builds are missing because of:

This error has been there since beta 2 (see my mail of 2:57 am on 8/31).

As mentioned, we'll clean those up as part of the release process.

These are now available.

[Tim Riley]

I saw your 8/31 email about gu-IN. What is the plan for this now? Can
we get it for RC1? Is it fixable for final? It is not the highest
priority locale, but the Indian community is very important.

I believe that the plan is being tracked in bug 353485:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353485

Is that correct, Axel?

cheers,
mike

[Axel Hecht]

My plan is to land the installer fix if we get an RC2 and take it from
there. Looking at the gu-IN release bug, we didn't get that much
feedback on the quality so far, so we'll need to see.

Axel

[Axel Hecht]

Yes, exactly.
