Adding Khmer to FF11.0 betas

[John O'Duinn]

hi;

As requested by Axel in private email, I'm posting my question here.


There's been lots of work by the Khmer team since January. As of
11Feb2012, Khmer has been green on:
* narro
* https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/signoffs/km/fx-aurora
* https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/signoffs/km/fx-beta
...and Vannak has signed off on l10n dashboard.

At this point, we believe we are ready for Khmer to be included in
FF11.0 betas. If we are missing anything, please let us know. We have
already read
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_Quick_Start_Guide%3A_Release
and cant tell if there is anything left for us to do.


(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709138 is tracking Khmer
released, and there is still some work to do there, but aiui, nothing
that blocks being included in the beta.)

John and Vannak.

Hi there,

going to beta in 10 would mean that we jump the trains [jargon]. Jumping
the trains means that we're confident in what we're doing, at least
technically. We're not in that state.

The landings on the hg repo are interesting, and the state needs to be
fixed, outside of the files that the dashboard reports on. Patches get
r- and get partly landed anyway.

It also doesn't help that we have 5-6 different people talking to
Vannak, telling him different stories.

We will fix these things, but only on one repository, and when they're
fixed, we'll take the next train to beta.

Before we go in the fixes, we need to sanitize the list of people. Right
now, I'm waiting on feedback on that from Arky and Milos.

[jargon] "Jumping the trains": The rapid release cycle has channels, and
"trains" that run on them. The train "Firefox 10" is on central for 6
weeks, then on aurora for 6 weeks, then on beta for 6 weeks. And 6
weeks, it's the officially most recent release. Jumping the train means
that we're taking things from aurora (11 right now) to beta (10 right now).
