This also needs a corresponding change in our build system, to remove translations and add the gettext domain to .schemas files (similar to the already existing code in langpack.mk for .desktop/.server/.directory files). ** Also affects: cdbs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cdbs (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Martin Pitt (pitti) Status: New = In Progress -- stop shipping static gconf translations, use gettext at runtime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 123025] Re: stop shipping static gconf translations, use gettext at runtime
I checked that the gconf patch does not have a measurable performance impact by measuring the time of GNOME startup (press enter in gdm until panel menu works). cold cache: - upstream gconf, per-lang tree: 76.7 s 75.5 s 75.0 s - patched gconf, per-lang tree: 77.1 s 74.8 s 74.9 s hot cache: - upstream gconf, per-lang tree: 28.0 s 28.1 s 28.1 s - patched gconf, per-lang tree: 28.0 s 28.3 s 28.1 s In theory, with a completely converted *.schemas tree, startup time should be faster, since gconfd-2 does not have to load and parse all the translated xml files any more. Getting descriptions is a relatively seldom operation and not needed at all for startup. If an application needs translations of its own gconf keys, its .mo file should already be loaded, thus the performance impact for this should be negligible. The only real performance impact that will probably happen is with gconf-editor, where you need lots of translations for many different keys. But first I don't expect this to actually be noticeable by users, and second this is well worth paying this price in exchange for the general space and time savings. ** Changed in: gconf2 (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed -- stop shipping static gconf translations, use gettext at runtime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

gconf (2.25.0-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Fix various format string warnings. - Sync saved state to disk before closing. - Add --search-key-regex option to gconftool. - Add --toggle option to gconftool. - Translation updates. * Add 01_xml-gettext-domain.patch: Support calling gettext at runtime and putting the gettext domain into the .schemas file instead of replicating translations in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/*.schemas *and* /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree- $LANG.xml. * Once all our *.schemas files will be converted, this will save ~ 90 MB uncompressed/10 MB compressed.

The uncompressed 51 MB of /var/lib/gconf/defaults/ compress (with gzip -9) into 4.1 MB (excluding the main index %gconf-tree.xml, which we need to keep in modified form). /usr/share/gconf/schemas/ compresses into 4.6 MB. It is not easily possible to get exact data how much is covered by translations, but a rough guesstimation is 70%. So implementing this would give us about 7 MB on the live CD. -- stop shipping static gconf translations, use gettext at runtime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 123025] Re: stop shipping static gconf translations, use gettext at runtime
Oh, gconftool and gconf-editor probably just use libgconf2-4, so the
translation is likely centralized in
gconf_schema_get_{short,long}_desc().
