Re: Request for Freeze Break - Evolution
Hi! The new error messages added are: - Editor not launchable The external editor set in your plugin preferences cannot be launched. Try setting a different editor. - Cannot create Temporary File Evolution is unable to create a temporary file to save your mail. Retry later. Well, I cannot really understand that you merge such a big change after feature freeze but if you are going to ship this plugin for 2.22 anyway, we should of course fix it. Can I have a comment from the release team whether they think the feature is critical/worth shipping, please?

Indeed, if this is a new feature, lacks both decent testing and documentation, it should definitely not go in for 2.22, but at the start of the 2.23 cycle.

I think it is not critical for 2.22, so a string freeze break is not necessary.

Re: Request for Freeze Break - Evolution
Hi Andre! the quality of the patch is quite bad. it has a typo ( :) and even worse, the new error messages are not marked for translation. so it's kind of ridiculous. well. i filed the bug report about this issue so i'm somehow biased... currently nothing happens when you click on the menu item. there is a hint in the terminal output, but i don't expect many users to start evo from terminal. now there are two options: 1) string freeze break, 2) no string freeze break by leaving the feature in a broken state and move/keep the plugin in the experimental set. i would not call it a *serious* bug, but a visible and confusing bug (as already written: you click and nothing happens). *if* the i18n team decides to not accept the break: distros may still patch evo and make sure that gvim is installed, so users do not face this issue. Well, I would call it *serious* if it is confusing. Thanks for the explanation, makes sense to me. Approval 1 of 2.

The feature as such was done well before the feature freeze. But it was marked experimental and lacked some ui bits like error reporting strings. This patch adds it (Though there are some string bugs in it, which Sankar will fix it, I'm sure). As Andre said, it may be confusing if invoking the menu item just logs a message on the console and doesn't popup the error to the user. I would like to get this part of GNOME 2.22.

Hence, it involved some new UI Screens and strings (for error-message). The current version in trunk is bare-bones and lacks error messages and is unintuitive. We're one week away from hard code freeze and have no releases between now and the final version (well, one coming out on Wednesday but it may be too late to get the approvals and the new evolution out for that one)...and you want to break the last three freezes? I'm really uncomfortable with this... Elijah ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
