Hi all,


Hey!

I had a draft ready on the same day you sent your request, but needed 
clarification. Pinged you in the Hackers room but didn’t get any 
response and then forgot about it.

I realise you’re probably not going to be happy about this!


I’m actually happy that you approached this the right way and took us 
into account. Bonus points for the clear presentation and listing the 
strings so we don’t have to hunt them down. The timing is also not the 
worst, so not much to be unhappy about!


  1. Add these new translatable strings now, in time for the 42.1
release (this week). This means the bug will be fixed, but the strings
will likely not be translated in many languages.


That would have been 10 days for three strings that are not too complex, 
at a time when there isn’t much other activity in other modules. Looked 
relatively reasonable. I would not have beent against landing this right 
after you requested it. You said “this week” though, which threw me off. 
Considering you just bumped, I supposed you indeed meant 10 days from 
that date. Anyway, it’s too late for this.


  2. Add these new translatable strings after the 42.1 release, to give
more time for them to be translated ready for 42.2.


This one definitely looks great now.

  3. Don’t add these new strings on 42.x at all, and use the
inappropriate-but-already-existing “can read/write all your data”
string instead.


No, I don’t think this option is necessary at all. Worst case, we can go 
with option 2.


So here is approval 1/2 from i18n for option 2.


Sorry for the lag, approval 2/2,

Claude

String freeze break for gnome-software for 42.1

2022-04-13 Thread Philip Withnall 
Hi all,

Can we have a string freeze break for gnome-software to add more
information about file system permissions required by flatpak apps?

Currently when flatpak apps request custom or unusual file system
permissions, gnome-software incorrectly says the app “has access to no
files”. The existing translatable strings we have in gnome-software
42.0 only give us the option of instead saying the app “can read/write
all your data”, which is a bit wide.

We’d like to add three more strings to provide a middle ground, saying
the app “can access arbitrary files”.

The change is here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/1317

The new strings are listed here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/1317#note_1429466

I realise you’re probably not going to be happy about this! There are a
few options, and we’ll go with whatever the i18n team prefer:

 1. Add these new translatable strings now, in time for the 42.1
release (this week). This means the bug will be fixed, but the strings
will likely not be translated in many languages.

 2. Add these new translatable strings after the 42.1 release, to give
more time for them to be translated ready for 42.2.

 3. Don’t add these new strings on 42.x at all, and use the
inappropriate-but-already-existing “can read/write all your data”
string instead.

Thanks,
Philip
