GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 352887
gnome-panel help messed up
Last modified: 2009-06-18 08:15:58 UTC
The directory structure below help/ is confused, with an mixture of 'applet' directories like 'fish', 'workspace-switcher' and language directories like 'zh_TW', 'de'. As a result, half the omf files are installed under /usr/share/omf/gnome-panel/, whereas others are installed under /usr/share/omf/<applet>/. This is broken and scrollkeeper is right to complain about it. Some translations are even installed twice, like /usr/share/omf/gnome-panel/window-list-zh_CN.omf /usr/share/omf/window-list/window-list-zh_CN.omf Originally reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201034
/gnome-panel/help/clock/C is alive /gnome-panel/help/C/clock is dead The folders in /gnome-panel/help/C/ that don't have counterparts higher up are both empty: mailcheck/ notification_area/ so I assume that the correct place to work in is /gnome-panel/help/appname/langname and that the others are deprecated, and in need of proper cleaning up. However, I'm also of the opinion that these tiny manuals could be folded into the User Guide.
The issue is that the help for some languages was not migrated to gnome-doc-utils. Translators should do this. I can disable those translations, though. The zh_CN issue was fixed in CVS a few days ago.
There's no mess anymore there.
