Package: intltool
Version: 0.35.5-4
Severity: normal
FWIW, I encountered the following while working on DeSmuME (http://desmume.org).
I'm using intltoolize to generate the scripts and therefore copies
/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in in po/ .
Building with --datadir=/usr/share/games i noticed that locale files
were installed in /usr/share/locale even though i was expecting it to
be in /usr/share/games/locale.
Looking closer at /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in, i noticed that
unlike /usr/share/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in and $localedir, the
localedir is built using...
$(prefix): /usr
$(DATADIRNAME): /share
locale: /locale
I was expecting $(datadir)/locale ...
Is this a bug are locales should always be in $(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME)/locale ?
Thanks,
-Pascal

And so it seems i was the culprit!
I'm sorry for the noise, autotools doesn't put the localedir as
datadir/locale _I was doing it_.
Again, sorry for my "bétise" this was a false report.
I'm closing this bug has it doesn't even exists.

Hi Josselin,
i wasn't aware that most games had their locale in /usr/share/locale
as the only translated game i have (i.e. xmoto) has it in
/usr/share/games/locale . But after installing wesnoth i notice that
it puts it into /usr/share/locale as you say.
I was unable to find anything about locale and games in the debian
guides/manuals.
So my bugreport was more like a question.
That being said... /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in doesn't act like
autotools and that still seems very weird to me.
i.e. I need to tell builders to overwrite localedir if they overwrite
datadir as autotools constructs localedir as datadir/locale and
/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in with prefix/datadirname/locale .
Anyway, thanks a bunch for the clarifications!!
I'll modify my packaging files accordingly.
-Pascal
PS: This is a bit off topic, but do you know how i could make
localization work without having to install or modify Makefile.in.in?
I'm one of those who prefer not to add autogenerated files in the CVS
and have the builders call intltoolize to create them.
