If your language is en-US only, the ebuild isn't supposed to try to get |
| 18 |
an xpi language pack, but that's only because en-US spellchecking |
| 19 |
support comes with the main source tarball the ebuild gets. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
AFAICT, the ebuild is designed to get the generic en-US Firefox source |
| 22 |
then get xpis for any additional languages, so everybody gets an |
| 23 |
en-US Firefox to start with. The en-US language pack at a.m.o should |
| 24 |
only be needed by people (non-Gentooers) who've installed a localized |
| 25 |
build of Firefox and later want to add en-US support. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I can't tell what's going wrong with that plan, but there's definitely |
| 28 |
something screwy with Fx 3.0.4 and the spellchecking. I've tried |
| 29 |
looking at the ebuild, but I can't explain the behavior you're seeing. |
| 30 |
(Or what I'm seeing -- en-AU got pulled in and was set as my default |
| 31 |
dictionary somehow.) |
