[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
This bug was fixed in the package pkgbinarymangler - 138.18.04.1
---
pkgbinarymangler (138.18.04.1) bionic-proposed; urgency=medium
[ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
* dh_translations:
- Prevent domain confusion for Meson packages when a help-* domain
is present (LP: #1762889).
- Don't build help-*.pot. Those templates are used to build static
localized XML pages, and we don't want to create LP templates and
deal with exported LP translations for such pages anyway.
- Allow the domain to be passed to dh_translations via an option in
debian/rules.
[ Didier Roche ]
* dh_translations, fix meson being picked even if not used as the build
system (causing FTBFS on n-m-applet):
- detect if a ninja build directory was found, otherwise, discard meson
findings and let other build systems be tested.
- follow the same code logic for setting meson as preferred, but only
if domain wasn't found, instead of unconditionally overriding.
- still prefer po/Makefile as first source
- let people override it with dh{domain}

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
Verified the test case using dh-translations 138.18.04.1 from bionic- proposed. ** Description changed: [Impact] With version 136 of the dh-translations package, support for the Meson build system was added. While that change is sufficient for making dh_translations run successfully for some Meson packages, it's not sufficient for packages with multiple gettext domains, e.g. help-[project] domains. As regards POT building, it has so far been handled for several packages via overrides in debian/rules, but in most cases the .desktop files in such packages are shipped with upstream translations and without "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain", so additional LP translations are not made available to the users. The proposed upload includes fixes from dh-translations 143 (Ubuntu 18.10) which deals with it for the remaining Meson packages. This will improve it for a number of packages to the extent they are SRUed to bionic. [Test Case] - Let gnome-mines 1:3.28.0-1 be our use case. The file + Let gnome-mines 1:3.28.0-1ubuntu1 be our use case. The file /usr/share/applications/gnome-mines.desktop includes upstream translations and no X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain. Then: - * Install dh-translations 138.1 from bionic-proposed + * Install dh-translations 138.18.04.1 from bionic-proposed * Build gnome-mines locally and find that the .desktop file was stripped from upstream translations and includes the line: X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-mines [Regression Potential] The backported changes address some build issues, and I find it hard to see how they could cause new ones. In order to minimize the risk, one of the changes in version 139, which is not considered 'safe safe', is not included in this proposal. Also, this package is not for users, so possible issues will at first hand hit developers who can act on them in connection with uploads. [Original description] The gnome.help() meson function creates a help-$project-pot target. This confuses dh_translations which complains: dh_translations: more than one meson translation domain found (help- gnome-calculator,gnome-calculator), don't know which one to use I think the only consequence of this is that the .desktop doesn't have its translations stripped and replaced with X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain= This means that Ubuntu translators are unable to update those translations. Affected Apps = Therefore, this issue affects GNOME apps in main that use meson and also include help files. gnome-control-center is also affected because it happens to have an extra gettext domain (but does not ship help). libgweather gets the warning because it has a second gettext domain but it doesn't ship any .desktop files so I think the warning is harmless.

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
I guess dh_translations was written by Martin long before dh(1) came in, and that's why it had its own euristic to determine the current build system. This has never been revisited because the maintainance on this package is low. I agree though that it should have both systems: - one for dh(1) packages, using that parameters - then, the fallback for debhelper < 9 packages, cbds and so on. I'm unsure we still have some in main using those, but that's to be checked. Unfortunately, I don't see that analyze and changes coming as an official item to work on this cycle in the desktop team in the current queue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762889 Title: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgbinarymangler/+bug/1762889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
Hi Steve, Since I'm the formal uploader of this SRU proposal, I'd better say something, even if I think that e.g. Laney and Didier are better prepared to comment on the approach. For several cycles dh_translations has used its own, pretty simplistic, heuristic to detemine both the gettext domain and the build system. The introduction of Meson added some complexity: - Not as straightforward to find the domain - A need to figure out the build directory So even if the actually used build system could be detected more easily (I'm not able to tell), we'd still need code to figure out the domain and the build directory. The proposed upload is in substance just a backport of the version of the dh_translations script used in Cosmic, where it has proved to be helpful AFAIK. If there is room for improvements, can it wait until the 19.04 cycle, so we don't delay this SRU? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762889 Title: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgbinarymangler/+bug/1762889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am concerned about the implementation in the package in the queue, which is applying its own heuristics to determine which build system should be used.

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
Gunnar, this fix assumes that the translation templates will match each other and will match the meson project id. polari 3.30.1's project id is 'polari'. Its 2 pot targets are polari-pot and help-org.gnome.Polari-pot. The project id needs to be 'polari' since that determines the tarball name when ninja dist is run (polari-3.30.1.tar.xz). So the easy workaround for polari is to simply use polari-pot and help- polari-pot Since this is the only case I've found like this so far, I'm going to go ahead and propose this to the Polari developers.

It sounds like you're saying that if any translator wants translated help for GNOME apps, they need to do that in GNOME directly. Therefore, why bother building the help pot files since we're just ignoring them anyway right now?

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
It's true that dh_translations builds a POT file for the help files in
gnome-mahjongg. It's this code in dh_translations:
# try to build help POT
if (-e 'help/Makefile') {
chdir 'help';
system ('make', 'pot');
chdir '..';
}
Can't help wondering why that code is there.
And yes, it would be possible to make dh_translations build help-gnome-
mines.pot etc.
But do we want to make use of such help file templates for LP
translations? Personally I'd say no. We are not using LP for gnome-user-
docs, but rely on the upstream translations. In the light of that, why
would we want to spend considerable time with exporting translations and
putting them into source for a bunch of packages with only a few help
pages each?
And if you agree that we don't want them, why would we let
dh_translations build them? To avoid a command in libgweather's
debian/rules for building libgweather-locations.pot? ;)

The --domain option serves that purpose, and it's useful whether we
build the help file POTs or not. Currently I'm aware of two packages
where --domain is needed: g-c-c and libgweather.
Jeremy, I don't think your original suggestion was wrong at all. The
latest patch addresses both that and provides a way to pick the right
one in case of multiple non-help domains.

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
Big oops. I believe my suggestion in my original bug report was wrong. I compared gnome-chess and gnome-mines (two simple games in Ubuntu main). gnome-mahjongg in its current release still uses autotools, but gnome-chess uses meson. The build produces gnome-mahjongg_3.22.0-3_amd64_translations.tar.gz In there is a gnome-mahjongg.pot in the source/help/ directory. gnome-chess doesn't have a .pot in its source/help/, but one can be made easily by running the help-gnome-chess-pot target. Both of these builds are also interesting compared to some of the other packages we've looked at because they produce a second tarball like gnome-mahjongg_3.22.0-3_static_translations.tar.gz containing the pre- built help. By the Way == We don't actually allow translators to translate the help files for gnome-mahjongg. I don't know how complicated that would be to support. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mahjongg Revised suggestion == We should run all the -pot targets offered by meson. This will do the right thing for all the apps that provide help files. It will do the right thing for libgweather (which has a second "locations" pot). I guess we do need to be smart enough to know which one is the main gettext domain though or at least the one to insert into the .desktop files that we strip. Note about gnome-control-center == My suggestion will break for gnome-control-center where the gnome-control-center-2.0-timezones-pot meson target isn't runnable. But gnome-control-center is an unusual case. I am guessing that those translations are somehow built in to the gnome-control-center binary. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control- center/blob/master/panels/datetime/po-timezones/README I think the existence of panels/datetime/po-timezones/meson.build is wrong and that file should be removed. When it's removed, we'll no longer have the broken gettext domain meson target. Bionic == Once we fix this bug, I think we should rebuild all the meson apps in main so that the .desktop files will be translatable. We should be able to drop all of our manual dh_translations overrides at the same time (although I believe they are harmless). These rebuilds can be done as SRUs as this isn't an urgent issue because the .desktop files should already be translated by GNOME for popular languages. Final Note == Gunnar, I apologize for all the time you spent on this bug. I think there is no known reason we would need to specify the gettext domain for either autotools or meson (once we handle gnome-control-center).

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
In response to Laney's comment #8, and after some clarifications on IRC, attached please find a new attempt. Comment #6 still applies. In addition to that, g-c-c now fails to build if you add a value via --domain which is unknown to Meson. As regards non-Meson packages, --domain is a fallback, i.e. using that option makes a difference only for cases where dh_translations fails to find the domain by itself. I haven't tested that detail, since I'm not aware of any package where dh_translations tries and fails to find the domain.

Okay, I'll switch to an array. I'm used to hashes, and personally find it just as readable, but maybe not.. And efficiency is indeed not an issue for this non-runtime code.

My thought was that the purpose of adding it was to offer a way to compensate for the ambiguity wrt some Meson packages. So the way it's currently done, you can only set a domain from debian/rules which the introspect command finds. Eliminates the risk that a package maintainer screws it up. ;) If we'd switch to a true override, where you can set any domain from debian/rules, it would make sense to include other build systems. That might be useful for cases where a gettext domain exists, but the dh_translations code fails to find it for some reason. Should I change it to a true override, so to say? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762889 Title: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgbinarymangler/+bug/1762889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not reviewing yet, but why? If the question is just asking one time
whether a string is in an array, you can use `if (grep { $_ eq string }
@array)' and I think it's clerarer than all of this. And similar for
removing the help domain except using `ne' and assigning the result back
to @domains. My main concern here is keeping the code readable. I don't
think we have to optimise away legibility for 1 or 2 lookups in a tiny
array.
OK, a slight review, it's confusing that --domain only works for meson;
is there any reason not to make that option cover other build systems
too?

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
I think the attached debdiff changes dh_translations in accordance with the above discussion. With all the workarounds in debian/rules dropped, g-c-c fails as expected. But with this: override_dh_translations: dh_translations --domain=gnome-control-center-2.0 both the POT creation and the rest work fine. gnome-calculator creates the POT and tweaks the .desktop file nicely without any overrides. I took this opportunity to propose that also Icon and Keywords translations are stripped.

[Bug 1762889] Re: dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot target with meson
Thanks for the patch. I'm of the opinion that this isn't bionic-
critical, since these are packages which have never worked with
dh_translations + meson, do you agree?
Here's my review:
+# known domains to be ignored in this context
+my %ignores = (
+'gnome-control-center-2.0-timezones' => 1,
+'libgweather-locations' => 1,
+);
I don't like this - it puts the information in a hard to find place
that's remote from the packages it refers to. I think this should be in
the rules file for the affected projects, maybe
$ dh_translations --ignore-domain=gnome-control-center-2.0-timezones
and documented in the manpage. Ideally you'd be able to specify that
option multiple times.
+# delete if found in %ignores or begins with 'help-'
+for my $d (keys %domains) {
+delete $domains{$d} if $ignores{$d} or $d =~ /^help-/;
}
I feel like you could end up accidentally ignoring too many things here.
The documentation says
This also creates two targets for translations help-$project-update-po
and help-$project-pot.
So AFAIK we don't need to guess at the domain to ignore since you can do
something like
$ meson introspect . --projectinfo | jq -r '.name'
to get $project.
+($domain) = keys %domains;
I'm not a great perl expert, but is this a normal idiom? I guess it gets
the first element - is it preferable to using [0]? Just reads a bit
confusing to me but if it's normal perl then that's OK.
I've attached a perl file that shows how to get the difference of two
arrays with only one map and getting an array out at the end - it might
be useful for this bug.
Thanks again!
