GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171846
rename tips directory to po-tips
Last modified: 2005-06-10 16:39:08 UTC
Every time GIMP branches, the GTP must manually alter its backend. The GIMP is the only app that requires this, and it's caused there to be a number of extra steps and complexities required in updating the GTP's most valuable translator tool: the GTP status pages (http://l10n-status.gnome.org). The problem is simple: intltool-update cannot be run from within the GIMP's tips directory. It requires that update.sh be run instead. The following very simple change fixes this (of course, Makefiles will have to be updated as well): cd gimp cp -R tips po-tips sed -e "s|tips/|po-tips/|" tips/POTFILES.in > po-tips/POTFILES.in rm -R tips It would make the GTP's life a lot easier if tips/ could be moved to po-tips/.
You couldn't have found a more complicated way to express a simple request, could you?
Probably. I'm still partial to "Change number of characters in pathname".
2005-06-10 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> Switch to a more standard way of treating the translations for the startup tips (bug #171846): * Makefile.am * configure.in: removed tips directory; added data/tips and po-tips directories instead. * data/Makefile.am * data/AUTHORS * data/ChangeLog * data/README: removed these three outdated files. * data/tips: gimp.tips.xml and related files live here now. * po-tips: translations of the tips are found here now. * README.i18n: changed accordingly.
