Hi UTC team!

Just a short announcement what will change with firefox-3.6:

Firefox 3.6 just hit the archive for Lucid and with it there will be
some changes in handling Firefox translations.

The currently existing firefox-3.5 and xulrunner-1.9.1 templates will
get merged, then the old ones will get disabled.

The new location for translating firefox is:
source package: firefox
template: firefox-3.6 -> will get renamed to "firefox" once the
transition is done
domain:  firefox-3.6 -> will get renamed to "firefox" once the
transition is done

I'm currently in the process to upload the upstream translations for
Firefox-3.6. After that I will export ff/xulrunner translations done in
Launchpad, build XPIs and upload them into the new template.
I will try to merge 3.0 and 3.5 translations, so that we have all user
contributions ready in 3.6. I guess I will be busy with this for the
rest of the week.

Next week I will be sprinting in Portland, OR and will do the necessary
changes to langpack-o-matic and po2xpi.

Once all changes are in place, FF-3.6 will probably be backported to all
stable releases and with it the translations.

I would suggest that translators refrain from editing the firefox and
xulrunner translations until the transition is finished.

Once everything is done, we will need new -base langpacks for all releases.

Xulrunner will probably get moved to universe, btw.

Cheers
Arne
