[intrepid] new upstream release 0.8

I fix it if I uninstall locale package of old version.

$ sudo apt-get remove sunbird-locale-es-es

I think that sunbird 0.8 would mark incompatible the old locale packages.

Was this an upgrade from 0.7? Please try to rename your Sunbird profile
by adding a .old to the end of the name and than start it, let me know
if this is still an issue after following the instructions above.The
profile can be found in ~/.mozilla/ somewhere i cant remember if its
named Sunbird or default ATM but i will be testing somethings in 0.8
this week sometime hopefully today

I had installed sunbird 0.7 and I upgraded to 0.8. When sunbird crashed I reported the error and tried the following:

$ mv .mozilla/sunbird .mozilla/sunbird.copia

but sunbird crashed again. I restored the configuration.

$ mv .mozilla/sunbird.copia .mozilla/sunbird

After, I removed sunbird-locale-es-es, and sunbird ran fine. If I try install sunbird-locale-es-es again, sunbrid doesn't run.

once i get a few minutes when im done with sunbird i will update my PPA to have intrepid locales for you to test.
Marking incomplete until i get a chance to look at it.

I have run into time issues and will get to it ASAP but for now the packages in my PPA are fine to use.

ok i pushed the sunbird-locales to my PPA found at:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/+archive

i just uploaded it so it will take some time to build.

WARNING: please dont add it to your sources.list file as it may update packages that havent been tested or has bugs that i havent gotten around to fixing. just grab the packages you need from the drop down for the source package.

ok working on lightning locales this morning as well. they will be posted in same place as above

ok i posted intrepid lightning locales to my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/+archive
Im hoping to get Alexander to push this to Intrepid archive for me with other packages that are done

John Vivirito : Thanks for your fast reaction on this.

I found some points that would need to be improved in your package and I also built sunbird-locales in my PPA to give a concrete example : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/saivann/ubuntu intrepid main

1- your package was a temporary fix for this problem but it didn't prevent it from happening in the future. For that purpose, correct dependencies needs to be dynamically added to debian/templates/package.template by debian/rules. to fix this, I added VERSION variable at the beginning of the debian/rules file.

2- New xpi files still identify themselves as 0.7.0 in sunbird extension panel, not quite sure why. Is this really the 0.8.0 locales?

3- You used new folder in debian/* for new upstream locales. Normally, you should only have to update the FETCHADDRESS in debian/rules and then run ./debian/rules clean-xpi and ./debian/rules update-xpi to update all xpi files and debian files, without the need of specific folders.

4- upstream it and da locales have corrupted install.rdf. Patches are needed to fix this problem or sunbird reject the extensions.

Hope this might help you with your work on sunbird-locales package. I didn't look at your lightning-extension-locales package yet but I will look at it in the next days.

Ok, I had time to take a look at your lightning-extension-locales package. Here are my recommendations :

1. lightning-0.8.locales.xpi contains lightning-extension binaries which we don't need. It also contains locales that we don't want to install (en_US and ja_JP_mac). You can update the xpi and remove anything that is not in the chrome folder + the en_US and ja_JP_mac locales. This this greatly reduce the xpi size and avoid problems with undesired locales.

2. debian/templates/* needs to be updated. control-loc.tmpl and install.rdf.tmpl needs all 0.7* to be changed to 0.8*.

3. lintian complains about the '*' in 0.7.* in control-loc.tmpl, I think that we should change 0.7.* to 0.8.1, not 0.8.*.

4. control.tmpl could have maintainer field changed to "Ubuntu MOTU Team <email address hidden>", I think that it's more appropriate for ubuntu.

5. Finally, when all these files are updated, you can run ./debian/rules update-debian-files to update debian/control and all debian files according to the templates. This will also add currently missing entries in debian/control for ja, uk, mn and other new locales in the 0.8 release.

Thanks for your work on this. Don't hesitate to email me at anytime if you need information about sunbird-locales or lightning-extension-locales.

ok thanks i will look at this later in week. I hurt my wrist last week so i cant do much typing without making my wrist mad and hurt. if you want to push yours please do and ill work on mine to get it right for future reference. I say this so it gets fixed ASAP

Thanks! I will take care to take to update the locales in the shortest time possible. I see that pa-IN locale is missing in new lightning-extension release.. There's also many improvements that I wish to add to the package to make it easier to maintain in the future. I also want to fix some packaging mistakes like the one from bug 259052. Stay tuned, the new package should be ready for review in the next days.

sunbird-locales and lightning-extension-locales are now ready to be reviewed for upload into ubuntu repositories.

To test the locales, you can install them from my PPA :
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/saivann/ubuntu intrepid main

Complete source packages are available here :
http://upload.leservicetechnique.com/bugs/sunbird-locales_0.8-0ubuntu1.tar.gz
http://upload.leservicetechnique.com/bugs/lightning-extension-locales_0.8-0ubuntu1.tar.gz

All previously available locales are still available in 0.8 release except pa-IN locale for lightning-extension that has been replaced by a transitional package.

Works has been done to make these packages easier to maintain. All a maintainer needs to do to update the package is to update the VERSION variable in debian/rules and to run ./debian/rules update-xpi . The package will now take care to download and update all the files. Works has been done to prevent future problems with dependencies. Many packaging mistakes has been fixed, useless codes have been dropped and patches have been added for specific corrupted locales (in sunbird-locales). All locales have been tested and works.
