I can do this if you really want, but I don't think anyone has complained about intltool recently (hopefully this isn't me opening the floodgates for a pile of flames). The alternative I'd cooked before up was to have a C program which contains all the translatable strings and printf's them into the .desktop file before install. Since I couldn't figure out how to do that without breaking cross-compile, or with non-installed translations, updating translations would have to involve this process: 1. Install packages with updated translations 2. Run desktop file generation program 3. Install packages again, now the desktop files are updated. 4. Check in the new desktop file translations. Getting this done across gschem, gattrib, libgeda (and tested) will be a reasonable amount of work. I've got no immediate intentions to remove it from xgsch2pcb, since adding a "C" program to generate those files is even more work, for an app which has no "C" building infrastructure at the moment. > * The polygon file format changes should be finalized.

I may well code up something to skip blocks beginning "X extension_name extension_version line_count" (Any other fields anyone can think of for that header - or should all the extension data go within the free-form block of lines? -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
