[01:59] <LLStarks> 5.0b2 i386 thinks it's windows
[01:59] <LLStarks> this is with the new package
[01:59] <BUGabundo> ahhaha
[13:05] <chrisccoulson> LLStarks, what language are you using (re, http://paste.ubuntu.com/611262/)?
[13:05] <chrisccoulson> and are you using the add-on compatibility reporter?
[13:34] <fta> uh?
[13:34] <fta> >>> cmp(u'foo', u'foo bar')
[13:34] <fta> -1
[13:34] <fta> >>> cmp(u'"foo"', u'"foo bar"')
[13:34] <fta> 1
[20:26] <LLStarks> chrisccoulson, i am using acr.
[20:26] <LLStarks> and this is no language that i am using
[20:26] <LLStarks> nothing of substance addon-wise should've changed between 4 and 5
[20:27] <LLStarks> all addons work unless they explicitly don't work.
[20:30] <micahg> LLStarks: not entirely true
[20:30] <micahg> LLStarks: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/05/21/firefox-5-compatibility-bump/
[20:31] <LLStarks> i thought maxver would be ignored
[20:31] <micahg> LLStarks: nope, that would cause lots of problems
[20:31] <LLStarks> so, what's  the new criteria?
[20:31] <micahg> there will bre breaks between versions, just less than there used to be for each version :)
[20:59] <chrisccoulson> LLStarks, if you are using the addon compatibility reporter, then that's your fault
[21:00] <chrisccoulson> the issue is that the firefox 4 translation packs don't contain the new strings
[21:00] <LLStarks> ah
[21:00] <LLStarks> okay
[21:00] <LLStarks> is the reporter deprecated given the new compatibility model?
[21:00] <chrisccoulson> i wish people would be more aware of the consequences of using acr, as this keeps happening
[21:01] <chrisccoulson> no, it's not deprecated AFAIK
[21:01] <LLStarks> it's easier than adding the boolean to about:config
[21:02] <LLStarks> chrisccoulson: besides, the popup only occurs during Help>About
[21:02] <chrisccoulson> LLStarks, you can install the new translations by installing firefox-locale-$LANG for your language
[21:03] <chrisccoulson> they will be installed by default once we have dropped the existing firefox 4 translations from the main language packs and fixed language-selector to pull them in
[21:04] <LLStarks> so, en-US will be used?
[21:04] <chrisccoulson> LLStarks, no, we have translations for other languages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/5.0~b2+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
[21:05] <LLStarks> i just want my spellchecker to stop being so anal. is there anyway to force en-US?
[21:06] <LLStarks> without overriding compatibility
[21:09] <chrisccoulson> the spellchecking is entirely separate from translations. you can select whatever spellcheck language you like in the UI
[21:09] <LLStarks> en-US, en-SA, en-GB
[21:10] <LLStarks> only SA and GB are compatible
[21:10] <LLStarks> what is firefox-locale-en installing?
[21:11] <chrisccoulson> i didn't even realize there were compatibility checks on spellchecking
[21:11] <chrisccoulson> it's installing en-GB and en-ZA translations
[21:12] <chrisccoulson> nothing to do with spellchecking. they are provided by separate packages which don't need to change
[21:12] <chrisccoulson> and you can select spellcheck language independent of the UI locale
[21:22] <LLStarks> i honestly just think my .mozilla is fubar
[21:22] <LLStarks> i only clear it completely once or twice a year
[21:27] <chrisccoulson> what's the actual problem?
[21:30] <LLStarks> the chrome is localized to en-Something
[21:30] <LLStarks> the spellchecker is not en-US. my global locale is en-US.
[21:31] <LLStarks> i don't know what i need to change.
[21:35] <LLStarks> i still only have en-US langpack 4.0
[21:41] <chrisccoulson> LLStarks, well, that's because our main language packs ship a en-US.xpi for firefox 4 by mistake
[21:41] <chrisccoulson> the replacement language packs don't contain that
[21:42] <chrisccoulson> however, firefox falls back to en-US anyway
[21:42] <LLStarks> what can/should i do on my end?
[21:42] <chrisccoulson> the spellcheck language is completely separate from the UI language, and you can change it just by right clicking on a word you want to check
[21:42] <LLStarks> the spellchecker reacts to all differences between american english and non-american english
[21:43] <LLStarks> so every s and z can cause a flag
[21:43] <LLStarks> defense/defencel, specialize/specialise
[21:43] <LLStarks> etc
[21:44] <LLStarks> i switched to en-US
[21:44] <LLStarks> but i have no guarantee that it will not be a problem for others
[21:44] <LLStarks> en-Australia was default for my spellchecker
[21:50] <LLStarks> whenever this problem comes up, i keep forgetting that spellchecker language switcher is well-hidden
