GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 774404
Errors while running “intltool-update -m” check
Last modified: 2021-05-25 12:33:33 UTC
As you can see on <https://l10n.gnome.org/module/chronojump/>, intltool-update currently fails, but I don't know why. I get this when running intltool-update -m: Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^chronojump-m4_esyscmd_s( <-- HERE gitdescribe/.*$/ at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 320, <FILE> line 160.
Fixed in b4d33d9ee56d97aa39cd67355dacdfdaa7bf7d0a, thank you.
Thanks - Sadly I had to revert the fix because it caused problems on the OSX machine. For now I've added a fixed intltool-update in the Chronojump's po/ directory. I'll see in the near future if I can think of a solution that doesn't involve this intltool-update or if intltool-update will accept the patch ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/1642931 )
intltool is very much inactive upstream. The current good practice in GNOME is to port from it to just using gettext: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/GettextMigration
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/chronojump/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
