We don't seem to have a way to run individual make commands mid-build, so afaict we need to add multilocale build+package steps to build.sh. This will most likely be conditional on environment variables, so the default developer build stays as-is. This blocks multiple blocking-basecamp+ C2 bugs, so marking as such.

I think we will need bug 817197 to package appropriately.

Ben, is this something you can do? If not, any suggestions as to who should own this?

I know absolutely nothing about the B2G build system, sorry :(. Maybe Fabrice or one of the other original authors of it?

Michael, can you help there?

This needs an owner who can actually resolve... asap. Reaching out to Bob Moss to make sure it happens.

I got this.

I'll try to get this all fixed up on Friday (7th). This mostly depends on bug 817197 to do most of the work and then I'll add some bits to gonk-misc to make it all stick together. We'll need to figure out how to make the l10n stuff work for our friends though - maybe add git mirrors for the l10n stuff and get this into the manifest.

For developers, we're keeping the few locales in gaia's git, and they should be fine, even if the network errors are not translated. For downstream parties, they'll work off of hg, as does our automation infrastructure. As for git mirrors for l10n, there are many reasons against doing those, don't want to clutter this bug with that discussion. I don't see a need for them here, though, too.

The appropriate pieces have landed in gonk-misc and B2G. All you have to do is set MOZ_CHROME_MULTILOCALE and L10NBASEDIR in the environment and the B2G build system will take care of the rest. These two can be set in the .userconfig. For example I have this in my userconfig: L10NBASEDIR=$PWD/l10n-base MOZ_CHROME_MULTILOCALE="ja zh-TW"

That'd be https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gonk-misc/commit/e63bbf6c3f5a116b7b605e4d2bd93c84bd4b99ad and https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G/commit/41c17a6abfd5f488ec99d9aa246f5b07583403c7, right? Does that trigger what we need to trigger for the gaia side?

The patches I found are not related to gecko repos, so unblocking the uplift bug 818907.

(In reply to Axel Hecht [:Pike] from comment #10) > Does that trigger what we need to trigger for the gaia side? I haven't touched the gaia side at all. As far as I can tell, gaia already installs its set of locales without any intervention. I was enjoying the gaia lockscreen in zh-TW.

Yeah - the Gaia build system looks at LOCALE_BASEDIR and LOCALES_FILE. We enabled that in the RelEng builds a couple of days ago. Probably need to rename some of these vars at some point to avoid confusion, but it sounds like we're OK for now since they don't overlap.

Filed bug 819979 for this.

I'm having a bit of trouble with this. I have L10NBASEDIR and MOZ_CHROME_MULTILOCALE set in the environment, but I get the following error when building: 07:42:05 INFO - make -C gecko -f client.mk -s 07:42:06 INFO - Adding client.mk options from /builds/slave/b2g-m-cen-otoro-dep/build/gonk-misc/default-gecko-config: 07:42:06 INFO - MOZ_OBJDIR=/builds/slave/b2g-m-cen-otoro-dep/build/objdir-gecko 07:42:06 INFO - MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-s -j16 07:42:06 INFO - TEST-PASS | check-sync-dirs.py | /builds/slave/b2g-m-cen-otoro-dep/build/gecko/js/src/config <= /builds/slave/b2g-m-cen-otoro-dep/build/gecko/config 07:42:06 INFO - make[3]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode. 07:42:06 ERROR - /builds/slave/b2g-m-cen-otoro-dep/build/gecko/config/config.mk:693: *** L10NBASEDIR not defined by configure.

A clobber build is necessary to pick up L10NBASEDIR.
