Locale installer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This should be a (probably iHook-based?) executable that finds a locale and 
installs it. It should do the chrome.manifest changes itself so that multiple 
locales can be installed simultaneously, and copy the jars and dictionaries to 
the right places.

I think we'll just go with a .zip package.

I've created a locale installer. It is based upon the Open(Libre)Office 
langpack installer. It use apple script and bash to process.

It locate an installation of TenFourFox, say if multiple copies are installed 
et verify that the selected app it the good one.

Then it uncompress the tarball.tar.bz2 is the archive with a relative path (for 
exemple /Contents/MacOS/dictionaries/fr.dic)

At the moment I did find the way to modify the about:config variable.

Some bugfix

Does this run on 10.4? I haven't checked it out yet.

Also, send me an E-mail to classilla at you know where so that I can add you to 
the project and give you credit.

narcoti...@gmail.com: Great! I'm going to test this with different 
configurations, and if classic approves it, I would like to make a German 
version. Probably the easiest way is translating your french strings in the 
osascript directly, if you don't object. 

Two issues here: 

- I'm completely unexperienced with creating archives via the command line, so 
I may need help creating a .tar/bz2 archive (if .zip can't be used). Or can you 
recommend a GUI archiver app?

- What does the update.locale file do?

Generally, would't it be easier to prepare TFF for different languages and let 
people download the complete versions like on the FF download site?

French langpack installer works fine in 10.4. Does what it should do. Couldn't 
find any bugs except: Shouldn't the button read "Anuler" oder "Quitter" instead 
of "Installer" when an invalid application is selected?

Thanks chtru...@web.de, I correted the abort button.

- For the tar.bz2 archive you can make it with the GuiTar utility. Compress 
your "Contents" folder in tar, then compress your Contents.tar archive in bz2. 
Rename it "tarball.tar.bz2".

- Update.local is used for the official update process. I don't know if it is 
useful but just in case I chose to translate it.

For a quicker translation you can use LibreOffice langpack german's strings.

Here's the German version. Thanks, narcoti...@gmail.com for your help. 

What I did in addition: 
- Changed info.plist strings to TTF-relevant information. 
- Made clear in the application name and the installer script that TFF 4.0.1 is 
needed. (Alternatively, can't we just check for TFF 4.0.x and make a new 
langpack for TFF 5.0 if nothing has changed?)

Here is th V.1 beta of french localization for TFF 4.0.1. Now capable to update 
your profile and set the correct general.useragent.locale.

Change log :

- force TFF to quit before installation and profil updating
- Update all firefox profiles with general.useragent.locale "fr" string
- New dialogs in the installation process
- some bugfix
- Info.plist update (thanks chtru...@web.de)

Original comment by narcoti...@gmail.com on 21 May 2011 at 5:24

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Works nicely. 

Is there a technical reason why you include an uncompressed "contents" folder 
(in addition to the tar/bz2 archive) plus an uncompressed locale folder (in 
addition to the jar) in the application? Have I overlooked something?

Original comment by chtru...@web.de on 21 May 2011 at 6:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

BTW, what happens if the user does not have a "Firefox" folder in Application 
Support? For example, if they installed a new Mac OS XC system/User, downloaded 
TFF from Safari and wanted to switch it to their language before opening TFF 
for the first time.

Original comment by chtru...@web.de on 21 May 2011 at 6:33

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here is the beta 2.

Change log :
- added the line : pref("general.useragent.locale", "fr"); in 
MacOS/defaults/perfs/firefox-l10n.js for a default french localization if TFF 
was never lunch
- added try/end try for ignore profile updating if no profile was created (TFF 
never launched)
- remove the useless contents folder in the installer's package (was there for 
testing)

I think we should create a drag'n drop locale installer. It would me more user 
friendly. What do you think about it ?

Original comment by narcoti...@gmail.com on 27 May 2011 at 11:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To be honest, I'm more a fan of the installer application. For the droplet, 
users have to open a Finder window, locate their TFF application and drag it 
onto the droplet. If they don't understand what a droplet is, they'll try to 
lauch it (thinking it's an installer), it doesn't do anything -> they come here 
and complain. Most people don't read instructions, they just doubleclick what's 
on their desktop.

Here is the German language pack installer application for TenFourFox 4.0.2x. 
(corresponds to TFF FR langpackV1.0Beta2)

——Documentation——

- Quits TFF if it's running
- Looks for TFF.app(s) and lets the user chose one if applicable
- Checks if TFF version is correct
- Adds /chrome/de.jar, de.manifest, /dictionaries/de-DE.aff, de-DE.dic
- Replaces /chrome.manifest (de), /defaults/pref/firefox-l10n.js 
(useragent.locale de)
- Looks for user profile(s) in ~/Application Support/Firefox and writes 
general.useragent.locale de in prefs.js

- de.jar contains German FF4/Intel files except 
/branding/brand.dtd, brand.properties: TFF
/de/mozapps/update/updates.dtd (manual update strings)
/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd (Check for updates… string)
/browser/aboutDialog.dtd (TFF's own dialog)

Tested with TFF 4.0.2 final & shortened some wordy strings.

To me, the installer app now seems pretty much feature complete and stable, and 
should be tested and evaluated by a broader range of users.

Works perfect with T4F 4.0.2, thanks. I made a try with T4F 5.0 beta 2, by 
tranferring the languagefiles manually. This is not working ? Are you planning 
a german installer for 5.0 ?

Original comment by alpha...@goldmail.de on 14 Jun 2011 at 8:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, there will be a German Installer App once Firefox 5 and TFF 5 (final 
versions) are out. There are some changes in FF/TFF 5 compared to 4.0.x, making 
new language files necessary. Also, a handfull of other things must be changed 
in the browser app and the user profile when switching the language.

German langpack installer for TFF 6.0.1. There will be no German version of

Original comment by chtru...@web.de on 7 Sep 2011 at 5:37

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Cameron, TFF 7.x now has two executables inside (firefox-bin and firefox). 
Which of them is the right one to kill with the langpack installer script when 
we want to make sure the application isn't running while it (and the user 
profile) are being modified? For TFF 4.x - 6.x we do it this way:

try
    do shell script ("killall -kill firefox-bin")
end try

(The script asks the user to save their work and quit TFF first, just in case 
they ignore it the app is killed).

Original comment by chtru...@web.de on 23 Sep 2011 at 3:14

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you're planning to have the installer still work for 4-6, then specify both, 
i.e.,

killall -kill firefox-bin firefox

If it's just 7, then kill firefox (firefox-bin is going away).

Assigning control to you, since I haven't heard from narcotix.

Original comment by classi...@floodgap.com on 23 Sep 2011 at 6:03

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks! It's just 7 – the installer app is version specific. One could extend 
it to cover all previous versions with different tarballs (would be user 
friendlier), but I have no idea how to script that without Narcotix's help. For 
the time being, I'd rather not mess with it and keep the installer in the 
stable state it's in right now.

It would be easy to do an "all version installer" I'll check that as soon as I 
find some time...

Original comment by victorie...@gmail.com on 26 Sep 2011 at 10:37

New installer script.

Can install multiple translation strings.

You have to make a specific tarball for each translation for exemple
tarball6.0.1.tar.bz2
tarball4.0.2.tar.bz2

and correct the list :
set TFFVersions to {"4.0.2", "6.0.1"} 

That needs to be tested.

Hm, it doesn't seem to be working quite right. Even if I feed it with the 
correct property list items

set VersionKey to value of property list item 7
set BundleName to value of property list item 3

it's still not happy with the version number. I.e. when I say 

set TFFVersions to {"4.0.3", "5.0", "6.0.1"}

none of these is accepted. The bundle name is accepted, though ("true").

I'm sorry, it still doesn't work here. The installer script doesn't recognize

Can someone else test this please and report if it works? Download 4.0.2 here

I have no idea what's wrong here.

Sorry I wrote 6.0.2, I should have wrote 6.0.1.

Could you just add in the script just after

tell application "System Events"
    tell property list file thePListPath
        tell contents
            set VersionKey to value of property list item 4 -- the version returned in 4.0.1 form
            set BundleName to value of property list item 6 -- the identifier string must be "com.floodgap.tenfourfox"

        end tell
    end tell
end tell

display dialog VersionKey

And tell me what it return ?

When I run the installer app itself with that command inserted, it doesn't 
return anything and just crashes. If I run it from the SCript Editor, it returs 
an Applescript error message:

If I change (because right now the script really does call the wrong items from 
the info.plist)…

set VersionKey to value of property list item 7 -- the version returned in 
4.0.1 form
            set BundleName to value of property list item 3 -- the identifier string must be "com.floodgap.tenfourfox"

…I get returned 4.0.2 in the dialog. But it still isn't valid. 

Tested on 10.5.8/G4 7450 and 10.4.11/G3 with the appropriate TFF versions.
