(forw) Re: mozilla-firefox-locale package with all language translations

[Christian Perrier <bubulle at debian dot org>]

Things are moving on the Debian side. The idea of a single source
package for mozilla-firefox-locale-* binary packages is raising.

THe best is having the Arabic translation get into Firefox as soon as
possible...

Then getting a Debian package will be nearly automatical.

Ok, no problem, I've uploaded a new package, updated for firefox 1.0 and that 
uses the new method:

I think is a good idea, I'll try to split it next week.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

Now, I'd like to know what the current maintainers of mozilla-firefox-locale-* 
packages think about this package.
Do you prefer maintain your current package or do you think this new package 
is the way to go?
