1.0.2 localization release plan

[Asa Dotzler]

We'll be testing our update infrastructure and mechanisms on Tuesday, March 22. If all
goes well with that testing, we'll release early Wednesday morning.

For your localization to be a part of the release on Wednesday morning, we need to have
your project lead certify the build and note that in bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286605 by tomorrow morning at 9 am PST. We
may have time to test a couple of additional localization upgrade scenarios for builds
that get certified before noon PST, but our schedule doesn't have a lot of room in it so
it would be very, very helpful if you all could get those builds certified quickly.

We'll be checking to make sure that the localization conforms to our the guidelines (it
should since nothing significant will have changed since the 1.0.1 releases) and then
we'll be testing that the XPI packages and RDF files are all correct and working. We have
to do this for both ugrades from 1.0 and 1.0.1 so MoFo QA is going to be very busy. Please
help us get these releases all out on the same day by certifying sometime in the next 17
hours.

Thanks.

I have written up the checklist that MoFo QA used when we had done l10n
certification for Firefox in the past:

Hello Asa ,

i made a version of Firefox 1.0.1 in VENETIAN
language ,
using the locale "it-VE" (dunno if it's ok ?
maybe i should
use the new SIL codes ? )

you can find the XPI (and installer as well) from
its home page

Italian it-IT win32, Linux and Mac OsX builds are tested and ready for
staging; I'm writing also in the l10n list because the locale owner
(Michele Dal Corso) has still some problems with Internet connection, so
I'm going to comment the bug even if I'm not the locale owner (I did the
same for 1.0.1 version)..

Regards,
Francesco.

Is anyone actively testing/responsible for the dutch version?

FWIW, if no one is, then i'm willing to sign it off if needs be.
Tested and approve of the Win XP version. Will check Mac OS X and Linux tonight.

We won't take new locales for the 1.0.x series, sorry. For the addition
on trunk for FF 1.1, please read gandalfs postings in this newsgroup and
follow the plan layed out on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/registration.html. Take a look at
http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox_Extras, too.

Here's a page on Testrunner (not sure if you've already seen it):

http://wiki.mozilla.org/Testrunner

As you'll see, we've got a long to-do list, like upgrading and
integration with b.m.o. :) However, I agree that Testrunner would be a
good place to have l10n tests.

Thanks for that.

Maybe related, I'm still puzzled about testrunner. Could we get a intro
or rationale if and why (not) testrunner could/should add/help with l10n
QA? That looks about as confused as I am.

Ah, my question is to-do-item number 4 :-).

I wonder if we could eventually integrate testrunner into our l10n
sign-off process. Does testrunner have a feature like a review request?
I'm thinking of l10n teams requesting a mac test, in particular.

I should probably mumble in the wiki, but I'm not sure if that'd be a
testrunner or a mister item or both. So I'm dumping it here ;-)
