[ANNOUNCE] compare-locales 0.8.1 with windows bustage fix out
Axel Hecht
I've updated compare-locales once more to ship a bustage fix for windows.
It's also available as source now, and that doesn't depend on setuptools
no more, so hopefully pip should be fine. Can hardly test as I cannot
get my local python to not have setuptools.

Hi Axel:
I now have the compare-locales installed and it is evidently works but
its arguments are "Bahnhof" (*) to me:
1.) which repository is the reference repository? Does the compare-
locales access a local copy or does it do online?
2.) if I need to clone the repo, where should I look for it? It sure
can not be http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central
- the SL version has not been updated for at least half a year and
we've been doing TB3.1 and of course FF and Fennec since.
3,) where do I find the l10n.ini file?
I may make a hopeless impression, but I do want to get in sync with
you out there.

It's going to be local to your machine, so you'll need to check out the
source code you want to compare against your local working directory.

What do you want to compare? Firefox en-US source against your working
"sl" directory local to your machine? It seems like you are interested
in TB3.1, FF, and Fennec.

Not sure if this document helps explain some of your questions:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Compare-locales
I also wrote the following document as a subset of "Create a New
Localization"[1] documentation on MDC. It describes how to use
compare-locales.
Hope this helps,

What Seth said, there's also
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556623, which Cedric filed,
to expose which repos are involved with a particular tree/appversion.
Sadly it's not ad-hoc to fix that, and even if you know which repos are
involved, they're somewhat cumbersome to put together for comm-central
and mobile. langpacker works on repos as stored upstream, including
releases etc, and outputs compare-locales output, in addition to a
langpack. Gotta check if that code works with 0.8.1.

installs without setuptools just fine - download, extract,
python setup.py install
installs with pip too, but in this case there *is*
setuptools(distribute) since pip itself requires it
pip install compare-locales

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
But, in practice, there is.
