Add language LINGUAS= support to mozilla-thunderbird ebuild. This should be almost copy paste from mozilla-firefox. Maybe I can submit patch after testing?

LINGUAS flag should work for 1.5-r2 (-bin at least)
Well, I mean source based version. Anyway my ebuild still not work correctly. But enable it on source version should be easy.
Created attachment 79109 [details] add language support to mozilla-thunderbird I suggest you another customized ebuild file. See the attachement file above. Of course, i don't have too much experience about how to write an acceptable ebuild file but this one works pretty well for my own needs. To make it work i had to use the wget command instead of the gentoo SRC_URI variable. In fact, during the digest creation file, the ebuild command always downloads some "firefox" .xpi files from a gentoo mirror instead of the mozilla ftp url i have specified. The initial syntax was: SRC_URI="${SRC_URI} linguas_${lang}? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/${PV}/linux-i686/xpi/${lang}.xpi)" The following method works better, wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/${PV}/linux-i686/xpi/${xpiname}
Will happen in 1.5.0.1 when it is released. Will use same exact setup as firefox for the most part.
I know this is not quite related but, can you add LC_ALL to the thunderbird launcher, or at least allow this to be found in the environment. Without this the date format defaults to en_US (eg mm/dd/yyyy) eg export LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8"

Now it's 1.5.0.4 -- still no LINGUAS support in the regular source-based ebuild :-(

If at some point security issues die down I will get linguas support added to both source and binary build.
I am having a few problems adapting the techniques used in the firefox ebuilds to add LINGUAS and dictionary support to thunderbird. First off, when trying to digest the ebuild, it will start downloading all the xpi packages for languages not set in LINGUAS. This is probably due to my poor understanding of linguas handling in ebuilds. If anyone could point out some documentation or helpful tips that would be most appreciated. I saw that others have called wget inline to retreive packages, but I don't think that method should be used for offical ebuilds. In addition, dictionaries do not download properly yet. I can only get the en-US to download even after adding more languages to my LINGUAS. It will probably be a good idea to push the needed xpi packages onto gentoo mirrors with better names like thunderbird-<lang>-${PV}.xpi and thunderbird-spell-<lang>-${PV}.xpi when these changes are finally rolled into the official tree, but that will probably be some time from now seeing as though Gentoo's only Mozilla Herd member has resigned. Finally, does anyone know what the LANGS and SHORTLANGS handling does in the ebuild? What exactly is SHORTLANGS needed for? SHORTLANGS appears to be a subset of LANGS in the firefox ebuild which I sort of emulated.
Created attachment 90167 [details] mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.4-r1.ebuild This is the currently broken ebuild I am experimenting with that relates to the post above.
Created attachment 90767 [details] mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.5.0.4.ebuild I submit a modified ebuild for mozilla-thunderbird-bin with LINGUAS support. Feel free to test it :)
ebuild could never be added to gentoo as they do not use versioning support upstream I will handle this later when we finish seamonkey business.
Ok i bumped the version to 1.5.0.5-r1 and removed ro and en_US from LANGS (couldn't dl the files) I got it to build now, let's see if I get it to install in my language. Which brings me to the following question, in OOo I noticed you can have several languages in your LINGUAS and choose them from the UI within OOo. Is this actually possible with thunderbird (firefox) aswell? (Either based on the LC_ALL or other variable?
ok after a little while of compiling, it starts puking these out: gmake[3]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/portage/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.5-r1/work/mozilla/security/coreconf' syntax error at -e line 3, near "while" syntax error at -e line 7, near "}" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. cd nsinstall; /usr/bin/gmake -j1 export gmake[4]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/portage/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.5-r1/work/mozilla/security/coreconf/nsinstall' syntax error at -e line 3, near "while" syntax error at -e line 7, near "}" which goes on for a few 500 lines and ends a few of these: 1/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr -I/opt/tmp/portage/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.5-r1/work/mozilla/dist/include/dbm -I../../../../dist/public/dbm quickder.c In file included from quickder.c:43: secasn1.h:48:21: plarena.h: No such file or directory In file included from secasn1.h:50, from quickder.c:43: seccomon.h:50:21: prtypes.h: No such file or directory In file included from seccomon.h:61, from secasn1.h:50, from quickder.c:43: I did notice that it tried fetching a 1.5.0.4 patch, so maybe just a version bump isn't the best thing ... Anyway, hopefully we'll get a somewhat working ebuild out there soon, I really do need localized version for my mother/sister : )
Hi, I didn't see this bug when I committed mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.7... however, I did put in LINGUAS support. It's pretty much a copy&paste from the Firefox ebuilds. Those looking for a localised Thunderbird, please give the lastest release a try and report back. This will likely get bumped to stable shortly, as there are some security fixes in this latest release. Regards, Stuart Longland

I think there is wrong filename in ebuild for preference file they should be all-thunderbird.js and all-l10n.js ? Just testing. compiling takes some time.
It is not in correct place?

Created attachment 97401 [details] Ebuild with spell support This is a preliminary ebuild with patch from #147829 which also enables spell support. NEEDS TESTING, as where I am now I can't download all the dictionaries to create the manifest. :( Also the auto selection of dictionary is missing. Please let me know if it works!
Created attachment 97541 [details] Ebuild with spell support I've updated a little the ebuild. But it doesn't work anyway! xpi_install complains about missing install.rdf in the spell-it.xpi I'm using. In fact the file is missing, but exists an install.js. I don't know if portage's mozilla eclass supports this method.
Created attachment 97634 [details] Ebuild with spell support Finally this version works! :) But there are still some bugs: 1. the dictionary isn't auto-selected, you have to choose it when you open TB 2. there are some troubles with en linguas, as it downloads en-NZ and so on dict files

If you need more information feel free to ask! Another question is that eyery spell and lang files are downloaded by the ebuild regardless of the language and spell settings. Is this normal? Thanks Daniel

Should they show up in > /etc/make.conf. No. The spell language is auto detected from the LINGUAS variable. But maybe it can be more interesting something as you "suggest", because I may wish to have spell in 5 languages. > Another question is that eyery spell and lang files are downloaded by the > ebuild regardless of the language and spell settings. Is this normal? No, it's not normal. There must be a problem with the loop getting the url. Thanks for your feedback, I'll dig the problems asap. maxxer
