GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314830
intltool-update does not work properly with xml files in gtkhtml (not the plural problem but similar)
Last modified: 2005-08-30 12:25:02 UTC
Version details: CVS HEAD - 30.08.2005. Distribution/Version: Fedora Core 4 1. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co gtkhtml 2. have intltool-0.33-2 and intltool-HEAD installed in two different places. 3. do intltool-update on bg.po file - once with intltool-0.33-2 and once with intltool-HEAD 4. compare the results - the HEAD version of intltools obsoletes many strings from these files: gtkhtml/components/html-editor/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml.in.h gtkhtml/components/html-editor/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml.in.h
You ran into a bug, that's true, but... Some strings are commented out in .xml.in files (such as "Red", "Orange", "Yellow",...), and this is actually a bug in intltool 0.33 to extract them (because it was using regular expressions), not 0.34 or HEAD (which uses a real XML parser). I didn't even know that we had this bug in 0.33 till now. If you don't believe me, look at gtkhtml/components/html-editor/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml.in and search for "<!--" :) Since these are the only ones I see getting obsoleted in gtkhtml/po/bg.po when I intltool-update it with latest HEAD, I am marking this as NOTABUG(BUTAFEATURE :). Feel free to reopen if you disagree (and have some data to prove it :)
