Re: Validating cookie domains

 It seems to make more sense if you subtract one from the number of

  It means that `www.arsdigita.de' cannot set

  maintain a database of domains that use .co.xxx convention, as
  opposed to those that use just .xxx.
 
 Could you assume that all two-letter TLDs are country-code TLDs and
 require one more period than other TLDs (which are presumably at
 least three characters long)?

Almost always true. There are i.am, come.to etc, but probably
ALL of them are forwarders (except cr.yp.to)...

  Thanks for the report.  The thing I don't quite understand is, how come
  you are the only one to experience this?  My `msgfmt --version' says
  0.10.40, so I'm not sure what your 1.3 refers to.
  
  Maybe you should upgrade gettext?
 
   The current version of GNU gettext is 0.11.1, BTW.
 
 I wonder why the Debian people never upgraded it.  Hmm.

Upgrading gettext to 0.11.x involves a lot of work;
in particular, libintl.so has increased library major
version (API changed? I don't know). So quite many apps
have to be recompiled. Probably nobody dare to take the
task :)

 Go figure.

Whether one list is vulnerable to large amount of spam usually just
depends on whether it is listed in any spam list.

I'm willing to bet $10 that once those lists is more exposed and
more people are subscribing them, the lists will be doomed soon.

The Internet is not once it used to be..

 Maybe a more in-depth investigation is needed?  I really don't see a

It sounds to me that other software uses m4 to parse ALL_LINGUAS=

 Consing up a translation tarball is a considerably simpler operation.
 Much smaller possibility of making a mistake.

For separating translation as another tarball, there's another risk of
people putting different versions of source and translation together, not
to mention the additional time needed for packaging. But of course it's up
to developers to decide which method costs less and which costs more.

about translation

2001-05-27 Thread R.I.P. Deaddog 


Hi,

Seems release is near... so updated translation to avoid too
much trouble later. Btw, is string freeze ongoing or not started yet? If
not started yet probably it's better to wait till freeze I don't want
to spam this list. :)

 I have good confidence in people, and in the collective wisdom.  I may
 try to help at the beginning, but helping too much becomes kibitzing!

 Hey hey!  I'll return to my previous job of kibitzing maintainers :-).


To Francois(sorry for the c):
But if you really want to leave, who can follow right now?

To Hrvoje:
From what I observed from gnome-i18n, the procedure is like this:

First, software maintainers announce in gnome-i18n list:

 software will be released/updated within X days, please
update/create your translation before the release time.

The method of getting the .po/.pot files may or may not follow.

Though this practice is not possible for small independent softwares, it's
still possible to send messages to different language teams (GNU softwares
use this approach) to announce an upcoming upgrade.

Ask Philipp Thomas... he has already done that.

   The problem is that when using gettext you must set LC_CTYPE (since
   recent versions of libc). The C library is really lacking in this
   respect, one should be able to force a locale for just one function

  Yeah, but it's simply inheriting the flaws of the Unix localization
  model.  There is a hack to set the locale to "C" temporarily and
  revert back to whatever it was set to, but it's slow and ugly.
 
   In this case, the is*() functions should be replaced with custom
   versions, because the libc versions are supposed to be localized.
 
  That's what 1.7 does.

  Yup... I guess I'll port that to 1.6. It's easy to do.

Re: [Patch] LC_CTYPE not defined

2001-03-30 Thread R.I.P. Deaddog 


Backported Philipp's patch to 1.6.1-dev and is attached here. This patch
can be used again 1.6 too. Not sure if this is a useless patch? :)

  Well, then it hasn't been checked into the 1.7 CVS yet. If you like,

 Correct.  The patch has been approved, and will likely be applied this
