Update gettext on l10n.gnome.org
Last modified: 2007-11-26 22:37:07 UTC
To be able to support the new msgctxt feature for context in po files, we'd need at least version >= 0.15 of gettext on the server. It's important for translators that gettext and intltool be up-to-date on l10n.gnome.org. See also the thread on this subject on gnome-i18n: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2007-November/msg00097.html
Please give me some easy to follow instructions on how to rebuild a deb from a newer Ubuntu for an older one. Installing the newer doesn't work because of libc stuff. Note: Instructions only. I don't trust already builded debs.
@Danilo, Could you (or another hacker at Canonical) help Olav to create a backport of gettext for l10n.gnome.org (probably Dapper?) ?
I found the following: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/20 However, even just one of the steps fails... # apt-get install devscripts build-essential fakeroot Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies. build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installedor libc-dev Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going to be installed devscripts: Depends: dpkg-dev but it is not going to be installed gettext-base: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 is to be installed Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070516) but 1:4.0.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.2-20070516) but 4.0.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution). 'Feels' like it gets it from a newer distro version, but I don't think that is the case (/etc/apt/sources shows dapper).
Thanks Olav.
