transifex ownership
I would like to announce that lbazan has taken the ownership of transifex package and it's dependencies. Luis Bazán is a prominent packager from the latinamerican packager group, rpmdev.proyectofedora.org. He has been actively working with transifex package and adding the new dependencies to the Fedora's repositories since march this year. I would also like to thank him and all the people who helped me along with this package. kind regards Domingo Becker -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It can be translated online in Transifex [1] or a translator may download the po file for working offline with it using a po file editor like poEdit, and then upload the translated file to transifex. Later, the project maintainer downloads the po files and create the rpm. Po files are generated from the pot file in transifex, normally reusing previous translations.

How about we also change the way we manage translations for packages? This gives more control over translations to translators also translators become independent from package maintainers and can reduce burden from package maintainers taking care of translations! Shouldn't we have translations packaged independently from RPM packages? This is indeed possible. We did this in MeeGo and worked quite well. Here's the workflow we already implemented with MeeGo: 1. Developer has neither POT or PO files in git. No need to. 2. Developer builds his package. His Makefile produces the POT on-the-fly and includes it in the RPM. 3. Developer pushes his SRPM on build system. His SRPM contains one POT file and no PO files. 4. Transifex Middleware App monitors the build system for updates on packages. It detects a new version of the Anaconda SRPM. It downloads it, extracts the POT file from inside and pushes it to Transifex. 5. Transifex imports the file and notifies all translators if there are new strings available. 6. Translators provide translations either offline or online. 7. Localization packager uses Transifex client to pull all translations for eg. F17 and push a update on the language packs. LPacks are splitted eg. as fedora-langpack-ui-pt_BR etc. 8. User sees an update on yum and installs it. Advantages: - Developer is isolated from the need to host translations -- less clutter in his repo and changelog. - Developer does not need to remember to update his POT and pull translations, often forgotten (eg. the pull fresh translations after deadline). - L10n packager and language teams can push updates to their language any time they want. - CD/DVD can include only a couple of lang packs, so smaller size. Upon selection of the language, yum (or even the installer) can download the lang pack right away. - Process works well with release cycles, since there is a string freeze period. It seems promising. +1 Is there any package we can test it with? Possible drawbacks: - During Updates cycles (after a release is shipped): Between the time the developer pushes his package and the time the lang packs are updated, the user may see a couple of English strings on his UI. This happens also when the developer hosts his PO files, unless he decides to have small string-freezes every time (don't know anyone who does this). It's not a problem. It will encourage translators participation. kind regards Domingo Becker -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: packaging wxPdfDocument
2011/8/15 Ulrich Telle ulrich.te...@gmx.de: Hi Domingo, I would like to package wxPdfDocument [1], a class library for creating PDF documents in a C++ application. As I use it in production environments since 2009 with no problems, I would like to package it for Fedora in order to have it available in the official repos. Nice to hear that including wxPdfDocument is discussed. It currently builds successfully under i686 but not in x86_64 because of a /usr/lib - /usr/lib64 dir name issue. But I read this morning how to solve it in another message in this list, so I will test it on an x86_64 machine as soon as I can. Please let me know if changes to the source code of wxPdfDocument are necessary to solve this building problem. If yes, I'd like to include them into my own file releases on wxCode. Ulrich, thank you for your support. The build under x86_64 has been fixed [1] and the review request has been updated accordingly. A link to a successful koji build and some rpmlint output for the spec file and the .src.rpm were added too. The issue was with multilib support in Fedora, the lib directory under i686 is /whatever/lib and under x86_64 is /whatever/lib64. The ../lib is hardcoded in the makefiles under build directory. Perhaps if there is a lib or libdir var that can be provided through make, with a default value if not provided by make. The patch that applies only on x86_64 would give you an idea of the change to the GNUmakefile [2].

End users go faster if they only use keyboard (of course, the program and the desktop environment should be prepared for that).

Re: which video player for a package Requires ?
2011/5/24 Nicoleau Fabien nicoleau.fab...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm packaging a software that downloads videos from websites like youtube, dailymotion, etc ... This software also allow the user to launch a video player that will read the video as a stream. The default value in the configuration file for the video player is vlc --quiet %u. My question is : what am I suppose to set in Requires field for the package ? totem ? something generic ? nothing ? I play videos downloaded from websites like the ones you mention with totem (.flv and .mp4). The Requires would be totem and gstreamer-ffmpeg (from rpmfusion-free). Other media players using gstreamer would work too, but totem works fine for me. xdg-open would work too, and I guess the Requires would be the same if default values are used. kind regards Domingo Becker -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
gparted included in Fedora Live media
Is there any chance to get gparted package included in the Fedora Live media for the next release? I use it very much for solving partition problems with Fedora and other operating systems too. More than a year ago, I made a partition of 250MB for the /boot partition according the what Fedora Installation Guide recommends [0] and it still does [1]. But that size doesn't work for preupgrade, because it can't download the installer images in /boot. I don't like to use other linux distribution's live media to do this, if that can be done perfectly well with a Fedora Live CD. I tested it with yum install gparted in a Fedora 14 Live, and it only added that package. But for situations without internet it will not work.

installation of my own rpm in a Fedora without internet
I was in a situation a couple of days ago, in which I was setting up some Fedora 14 desktops and I tried to install my software from rpms in an usb stick. For some external reason, the internet connection was down, and after installing F14, setting up the appropriate firewall rules and selinux booleans and file contexts, I tried to install my software from the rpms and it failed because it couldn't get information about the Fedora repo. I think that a just installed Fedora box should have the ability to install software from an usb stick without the need of an internet connection. Think about a computer with F14 for managing something in a place without internet connection (I have several cases like this).
