gnome-vfs schemas files need to be intltoolized
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
It seems there are several schemas files in gnome-vfs: schemas/desktop_default_applications.schemas schemas/system_http_proxy.schemas These files are not properly "intltoolized"; i.e. they also need to at least be renamed to *.schemas.in and mentioned in po/POTFILES.in for intltool-extract to pick them up, and for the translators to actually get their messages to translate in the pot and po files. Perhaps there are also other steps that I'm missing in order to make this work; I'm not really experienced with intltoolizing things.
Please also note that adding these for 2.4 will break string freeze, so asking for permission is needed if this is going to be fixed for 2.4.
I feel this can wait until 2.6, does anyone disagree?
I agree.
Why wait until 2.6, rather than 2.4.1? We can at least add the infrastructure. The worst is does is degrade a couple of i18n statistics; hardly the end of the world. In any case, I'll take this bug. I know what needs to be done here. Obviously nothing's going to happen for a few weeks.
Because I have no idea what happens between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1, ie if the various freeze are lifted and so on. The only thing I'm sure is that there won't be any freeze when 2.5 starts, so nobody will complain if this is fixed in 2.5. But this 2.6 milestone is really to be taken as "post 2.4.0"
Please cc the maintainers when you take a bug, otherwise nobody will know what happens on the bug apart from you :)
The .schemas -> .schemas.in can be done right now. If string breakage is to be avoided, just refrain from adding them to POTFILES.in -- that would be enough.
We should do this on HEAD now.

I'm not really good at the auto* stuff, but shouldn't $(schema_in_files) be added to EXTRA_DIST and $(schema_DATA) to CLEANFILES ? Apart from that, the patch looks good (assuming you tested it compiles properly), thanks for it :)
Christophe: You are completely right! Thanks for pointing this out! regs, Chris

Does this actually work? The schema_in_files lists the .schemas files, not the .schemas.in files.
Checked in.
