The question is... who can decide that ? In general it would be nice to have the messsage generation running that the i18n/l10n people can take a look at it and check whether it is working or whether any corrections/improvements are neccesary (e.g. localisation itself works with both singlebyte and multibyte locales but we did not test more complex locales like zh_CN.GB18030 with the OS/Net setup yet or whether the tools used by the l10n people at Sun are 100% compatible with the AST file format) and to have a way to start the translation process... somewhere very high on my wishlist is to contribute translated message catalogs back to AT&T... ... but I am fine with the idea to integrate with catalog generation disabled for now. > The > targets can all be in place and usable for anyone who wants to (and can) > build them, but the .po files would need to not be in SUNW0on. The message generation is centralised in usr/src/lib/libast/Makefile.libastl10n and can be disabled there. The quiz is if there is a way to automate this in a way that we don't have to edit SUNW0on each time we turn the l10n catalog generation on or off... > Will ksh93 be in its own self-contained package that can easily be added to > a build machine on receipt of the flag-day message? No, "ksh93" is in the same package as "ksh", e.g. "SUNWcsu"... however that is only the frontend binary (~~5k) which calls into libshell (which sits in "SUNWcsl" and contains the ksh93 core ... and then there are other parts which sit in other packages...). I am trying to avoid creating new packages for that as this would collide with Rainer Orth's work in the package database.... but I could provide a binary tarball for the build machines on demand... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
