[arch-dev-public] FS#19494: [rt2870usb-fw] should include more firmwares
by Andrea Scarpino 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi all, Looking at #19494[1], anyone knows if we should include those firmwares or not? Giovanni maintains it, but he is a bit busy in this period (==inactive). I do not know what are ours policies about firmware/wireless driver inclusions (btw, I use a package from AUR for my wireless card and I'd like to package it).

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gettext-0.18-1
by Tobias Powalowski 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi bump to latest version, Version 0.18 - May 2010 * Runtime behaviour: - On MacOS X and Windows systems, <libintl.h> now extends setlocale() and newlocale() so that their determination of the default locale considers the choice the user has made in the system control panels. - On MacOS X systems, the gettext()/dgettext()/... functions now respect the locale of the current thread, if a thread-specific locale has been set. * PO file format: There is a new field 'Language' in the header entry. It denotes the language code (plus optional country code) for the PO file. This field can be used by automated tools, such as spell checkers. It is expected to be more reliable than looking at the file name or at the 'Language-Team' field in the header entry. msgmerge, msgcat, msgen have a new option --lang that allows to specify this field. Additionally, msgmerge fills in this new field by looking at the 'Language-Team' field (if the --lang option is not given). * xgettext and PO file format: For messages with plural forms, programmers can inform the translators about the range of possible values of the numeric argument, like this: /* xgettext: range: 0..15 */ This information 'range: 0..15' is stored in the PO file as a flag attached to the message. Translators can produce better translations when they know that the numeric argument is small. * Colorized PO files: msgattrib, msgcomm, msgconv, msgen, msgfilter, msggrep, msginit, msgmerge, msgunfmt, msguniq, xgettext now have options --color and --style, like msgcat has since version 0.17. * msgmerge is up to 10 times faster when the PO and POT files are large. This speedup was contributed by Ralf Wildenhues. * msgcmp has a new option -N/--no-fuzzy-matching, like msgmerge has since version 0.12. * msgfilter now sets environment variables during the invocation of the filter, indicating the msgid and location of the messge being processed. * xgettext now can extract plural forms from Qt 4 programs. The recommended xgettext command-line options for this case are: --qt --keyword=tr:1,1t --keyword=tr:1,2c,2t --keyword=tr:1,1,2c,3t * xgettext --language=GCC-source now recognizes also the format strings used in the Fortran front-end of the GCC compiler, and marks them as 'gfc-internal-format'. * autopoint can now be used to update several PO directories all together. * PO mode changes: - PO files with plural entries are now correctly handled. - Editing a message with previous msgid (in comments) removes these comments. Contributed by Noritada Kobayashi. * The po/Makevars file has a new field MSGMERGE_OPTIONS, that can be used to adjust msgmerge's operation. * The use of the macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument and the --intl option of the gettextize program are deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Instead of including the intl sources in your package, we suggest making the libintl library an (optional) prerequisite of your package. * Updated the meaning of 'gcc-internal-format' to match GCC 4.3. * Installation options: The configure options --without-cvs and --with-git can be used to specify whether 'autopoint' will use the 'cvs' program, or the 'git' program, or none at all. These options allow to trade dependencies against installed package size: If --without-cvs is specified and --with-git is not specified, 'autopoint' will not rely on 'cvs' or 'git', but will instead rely on a locally installed a 3 MB large archive. * Portability: - The msgfilter program now also works on native Woe32 platforms. - Compiled C# message catalogs now also work with 'mono' versions from 2009 or newer. please signoff both arches, thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

Re: [arch-dev-public] Replying... Perl 5.12 in [testing]
by Dan McGee 17 May '10

No, not me, but I'll forward it to the devel list. As a point going forward I would say send stuff like this to the arch-general list. -Dan On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 10:37 PM, Max Baldwin <archerseven(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Using an XChat plugin that failed post update, I use yaourt so I rebuilt > xchat using the same pkgbuild... fixed the issue.

[arch-dev-public] Perl 5.12 in [testing]
by Dan McGee 15 May '10

15 May '10

Just wanted to get some visibility on this. I know perl 5.12 is in [testing], and at least three packages have been rebuilt because of it: * irssi * munin (/me shakes his fist at the absolutely terrible build system they have) * munin-node So when this moves from [testing], make sure these packages make it into [extra] as well, please. :) -Dan
