 Hi,
 
 There is unfortunately still an unresolved string freeze breakage in the
 gdm module. I've written to both the committer (CC'ed) and the gdm-list
 with no answer until now.

 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2010-June/msg00091.html

FWIW, there was no new gdm tarball, so the break at least doesn't affect
the tarballs. Still, it should be reverted.

Jon, GDM team, please, can you take a look at this?

Thanks,

Vincent

And now I see that there's discussion on gdm-list -- I hadn't checked
the archives since Monday, sorry. Good to see some solution will be
possibly reached soon.

Re: [gdm-list] String additions to 'gdm.gnome-2-30'

2010-06-23 Thread Brian Cameron 


Claude/i18n team:

This is regarding the outstanding GDM 2.30.3 release.

Just to follow up, is it possible to have someone from the i18n team
programmatically fix the msgid and msgstr strings to remove the
underscore (or the (_K) from msgstr for non-Latin languages) for
the following strings:

 + Keyboard
 + Language
 + Session

If so, that would be the best solution since it would allow us to spin
a stable release with this important fix?

Or do we really need to backout these string changes before we can do a
release?  Please advise since we would like to do a release as quickly
as we can.

Thanks,

Brian

   Note that this doesn't directly indicate a string freeze

  Hi Jon,
 
  The commit 1b334350 (Remove text labels for option menus) in
  gnome-2-30 branch of GDM is breaking string freeze. Could this
  be reverted or is it a critical fix for which an exception
  should be asked for?

 Sorry for the delay.  I wanted to discuss it with some other people
 before responding.

 I think I'd prefer to ask for an exception for this one.  The string
 change is simply removing underscores.  But the bug that it fixes
 is a somewhat important one.  The GDM greeter, in most cases, would
 not fit on a 1024x768 size screen before this change (even in
 English).

 The general bug is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620893

 I would be rather enclined to accept it, but now the time remaining 
 for translators to fix these strings is short for the 2.30.2 GNOME

 release, isn't it?

 Is there a way we can programmatically remove the _ from the
 existing translated strings?  Or at least get close?

 Jon
