pl wants to opt-in

We're currently green on tinderbox and l10n.mozilla.org/dashboard, so
it should be all-ok.

NOTE: I am moving, so unfortunately I might not have Internet access
through weekend.
If I'm not available and there are any problems that need solving on
the side of Polish localization team,
Hubert Gajewski and Staszek Malolepszy are capable of making
decisions
and check-ins and they both have my approval for any "SNAFU-fixing"
check-in
to Polish Firefox l10n.

Hi Ayman, I just saw that the windows tinderboxens are busted due to a
problem in mui.properties. I place my bet on
MUI_INNERTEXT_LICENSE_BOTTOM_RADIOBUTTONS, at least it's close to that.

The iconv to CP1256 fails there.

That is because someone (not me :) used lam-alef Unicode presentation
form (a common thing because a buggy Arabic X keyboard layout). Should
be easily fixable.

I think it should be mentioned in the comment that this file will be
converted to another encoding, it is not uncommon to use some Unicode
control chars to control the directionality of the text, if this text
won't be used in Unicode, this has no sense then.

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that I checked in a bustage fix to
bookmarks.html for Arabic. There was some funkyness in the whitespace,
which made it hard to see that all the links went to en-US pages instead
of ar. So I fixed the links and cleaned up the markup, no translation
changes (aside copying the title to h1).

That build is from Friday, and we've announced quite early what the
rules would be, buildbot and tinderbox need to be green. As that was a
build on your check-in, I doubt there's a whole lot more that we can do.

As for es-ES, we're out of time to land further changes now, but this
isn't the last beta, and I expect nightlies to be much more useful in
the following, too. So this isn't the end of the world.

I agree that it is not a big deal if we can't make b3. As matter of
fact, however, when I visited:

http://l10n.mozilla.org/dashboard/

I just got an static table with no links in es-ES line. I played with
the boxes to the right, and got no useful details, so I thought what I
was seeing was all I could get.

Only today (admittedly, because I've had some more time to spend on
that page), and after seeing your other links, I've realized that the
title "table - builds - Fx2" (hint for es-*: you will probably see
"Tabla - Builds - Fx2") are actually links to different views, and
then I've seen that Builds view shows green and red boxes.

The red underline is fancier, but maybe a simple "blue-underlined"
(or, at least, blue) style there would be clearer. :-? I guess most of
us already ("already" as "since five minutes ago") ;-) know that, but
for newcomers it could be of help.

TIA

It has been just fixed in trunk.

BTW, the reason why this happened is because a file with a
.properties-like syntax is named as an .ini file, so MozillaTranslator
treated as a plain text and I had to edit it by hand (and mistyped two
keys). Can we assume .INI files in Mozilla CVS repository are to be
handled as .Properties files from now on?

I know that I could base MT file detection on file contents instead of
file extension, but this would increase the complexity for something
that really shouldn't be needed most of the time; besides, things like
this kind of creates "moving targets" that makes harder to keep up the
functional status of the tool.

Axel Hecht

unread,

The problem is, ini files look like properties files, but properties
files don't look like ini files.

So the problem is that a properties parser would be fine with an ini
file, probably, but not the other way around, thus we opted to not call
the .properties. Properties files are a tad harder to parse correctly,
too, and neither the updater nor the crashreporter code can just reuse
the xpcom code.

Thus, real ini files, sorry. It shouldn't be too hard to add, may I say,
as I just wrote a special parser for that myself. Note,
crashreporter.ini violates the ini file format in using # as comment
char instead of ';', sadly. updater.ini uses ';', so you gotta take both.

I personally find the Builds tab a dash sexier than the table, too.
Maybe I change the default landing tab.

Or I improve the table, which I learned how to do in another exhibit the
other day.

Today, I've found that Builds gives me the information.

I'm complaining about closing dates almost too close to weekends. Even
with a green dashboard, I would opt-in on Monday. Saturday and Sunday
shouldn't be counted when you say that there are four days to opt,
freeze or release.
BTW, it's mid-summer in Argentina. Almost the entire population is lying
down on a beach. I'm the only one working.

Oops, sorry. I missed the [Strings] section at the top of the file,
and thought that crashreporter.ini was really a renamed .properties files.

I've found a bug in MT 5.22 (fixed something,
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383914; broke another
thing, namely regional packs in SM 1.1.x), and I'm getting tired of
flagging off image files every time I update SeaMonkey trunk, so I may
be adding INI files parsing as well. Thanks for the comment point.

Ricardo.

Hrm. I was running under the assumption that the weekend would actually
be valuable time for localizers, but that may well be just "for most of
them".

Here's my problem:

We're closing the tree around Tuesday, with baking time 'til Friday. I
won the weekend for l10n, so we're starting builds on Monday.

Now, I'm not feeling good about posting the opt-in thread before the
release drivers understand how good the tree really is. And this time
around, Tuesday was landing-crazy. So I added a bit of padding time.

Like, the opt-in is supposed to say "I translated the stuff and I took a
good look at it, it's great stuff for Beta". I really think that
starting the opt-in time too eagerly is just tempting localizers into
saying "ship whatever", which I'd rather not do. And like, how can you
say "it's cool, I checked" if nobody is actually sure that there isn't a
l10n change on Friday. Bad, but happened for B1.

Given that we still have one more Beta, with string freeze in effect, I
really think that we should get a more confident landing window for
localization for the upcoming milestones. Like, I would hope that most
locales will already be green, with localization teams running their
nightlies as dogfood, before the code freeze for Firefox for that
milestone. That should resolve the chicken-egg problem here, and that's
cool. Remember, all our Betas are done on "best effort", and we're doing
great for that.

Hth, and sheds some light on my thinking

You could do a post here on that Tuesday or maybe Wednesday that says
"As a note, the (pre-)release is planned for early next week, so try to
get your tree clean, an opt-in thread will follow as soon as release
managers have clear the code as being ready. A small number of late-l10n
checkins is still possible until then but we're trying to keep them as
few as possible."

This would tell those who don't follow nightlies to get ready and give
them more time to clear things up for the release.

You mean like
news://news.mozilla.org:119/Kr-dndoZefbJwj3a...@mozilla.org,
"Re: Firefox 3 Schedule Update: beta 3 & beyond"?

That's from Wednesday. It says that the opt-in thread is going to come
shortly, that tinderboxens are supposed to be green, that I'll do
stricter checks on compare-locales, which got another announcement as it
landed.

Ah, right. I read it back then, but already forgot, as German is
following nightlies anyways (at least for core, which is mostly what I
care about).

Wikipedia says that INI file format, unlike .DTD and .Properties, is
not defined in a very strict way, so variants may happen. Although
I've reviewed existent INI files in toolkit, suite, firefox, etc., do
you happen to know if there is any provission in Mozilla dev.
environment for breaking long lines? Something like:

LongWrappedLine=This is a very \
long line value.

At the moment, it looks like the only INI file with long lines is
crashreporter.ini and no line break happens, but I wonder if there is
something written about how to do it, just in case...

I'm pretty sure that the parser in crashreporter will not grok line
continuations. It's a KISS parser, mostly. It will eat dinosaurs, too. I
think it basically takes anything that has a '=' in the middle. But one
shouldn't rely on that.
