How to build a localized network installer

From MDC

[edit] Notice

This howto describes the manual steps to create a localized stub installer. This can be done with SILT soon. I will post a link here when it is finished.

[edit] It's easy

You already translated the full installer to your language. Now remove all .xpi and .zip files and open config.ini. In the line after

; This key is used as a fail over key.  This url will be used when the
; url in the Site Selector fails.

replace

url=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/x.y/windows-xpi

with

url=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/x.y/contrib-localized

or where the language pack is. Now in the Component for your language replace the name of the xpi with the name of the xpi in the folder specified in url. Please make sure that the language pack is the last item in the component sections. That's all. I've created the german SeaMonkey stub installers this way.

Also in the section for your language pack, replace

Archive=langabcd.xpi

with

Archive=seamonkey-<version>.ab-CD.langpack.xpi
