[pacman-dev] Fun supplementary files
I wanted to put this out there. There's a handful of supplementary files that would be nice to have in pacman cvs. One that I can think of off the top of my head, is an 'indent.pro' (see The Fine Manual for details) file for GNU indent (based on the pacman coding guidelines). In addition, it'd be nice to have a guide for translators, so they would know how to send translations (I don't feel qualified to write something like that). I had some more, I'll tack them on with other emails later. This is mainly here for people with free time who want to help out, so feel free to submit anything you feel would be worthwhile. Thanks, aaron

I agree. Perhaps after we update those coding guidelines a bit more, we can make that into a text file as well, and put it in CVS somewhere? Our root directory is becoming awfully crowded with stuff though.

Agreed. Anyone want to take the lead on translations? I'm just not that familiar with the tools to generate and merge po and pot files, but if no one else wants to do it I can try to figure it all out. Priority should probably go to pacman/libalpm messages, with man pages later. However, the man pages need some serious work so we should hold off on that for a bit. -Dan
