GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 786418
Modernize the Autotools build and move away from Intltool
Last modified: 2017-08-23 11:09:53 UTC
I was about to try to drop the intltool requirement, when I realized that we still use gnome-common. So, I shaved that yak first before moving on to intltool. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeCommon/Migration https://wiki.gnome.org/MigratingFromIntltoolToGettext
Created attachment 357802 [details] [review] build: Port away from gnome-autogen.sh
Created attachment 357803 [details] [review] build: Use better syntax highlighting in Emacs I'd rather drop the mode line, but if we are to keep it, I found that the Autoconf mode provides better syntax highlighting.
Created attachment 357815 [details] [review] appdata: Update to comply with recent versions of the specification
Created attachment 357816 [details] [review] Migrate from Intltool to Gettext
I am pushing these to master so that they can be part of the 3.25.91 tarball. It's a bit late in the cycle for such migrations, but I don't want to hold on to deprecated things either. We'll at least have a few more weeks to deal with any accidental fallout. I did compare the gnome-documents.pots from before and after these patches, and didn't see any changes to the strings themselves.
Please shout or re-open this bug if you spot any breakage.
