Thinking about it some more, whatever the case, without gettext I guess this still make Soas and Dextrose distributions broken for anyone hoping to do a little activity development/tinkering. >> I've just looked through a mix of past .xo releases of mine, some have >> locale directories and some don't (aargh!).

Not sure yet, I'm still away from my flat, and the XO-1 (0.82) I usually do a final release from is up there, need to look through the ~/Activities directory to check the .xo bundle contents vs the directories I was using dist_xo from. FWIW, I've just gone through the 42 activities pre-installed in the "1dx2 Dextrose 2 International" XO-1 image, these were activities with po translations that were missing a locale directory: Abacus-17 Calculate-33 Implode-9 Regard, --Gary > Regards, > Simon > > [1] > http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-toolkit/repos/mainline/blobs/sucrose-0.84/src/sugar/activity/bundlebuilder.py#line283 _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
