Update gtranslator package?
Hi, we noticed only recently that the version of gtanslator that will be shipped with Ubuntu 10.04 is 1.9.6 (released on September 2009). This version has a serious issue that makes it literally unusable (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/454940): gtranslator 1.9.6 tends to crash too often due to misreading of PO headers. So, basically, it's unusable. This is the situation we have right now: * Debian has the 1.9.9 release of gtranslator - good * Luca Falavigna (DktrKrantz) can build the Ubuntu package - good * We need an exception - bad Yes, unfortunately there are too many changes between .6 and .9 release, bugfixing but also feature additions and misc stuff. Please note that gtranslator 1.9.x is a development version, so the usage of latest available package is the best to do. Why I'm writing this here? Because we are looking for somebody that could grant an exception for this package, and probably if we have a big number of translators that would favor this, we can move things forward. Do you know anybody that can grant us that exception? Thank you. -- Milo Casagrande m...@casagrande.name -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators

+1 from me, 1.9.6 in Ubuntu is almost unusable because of the crash.

Do you know anybody that can grant us that exception? As per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#Exceptions%20for%20Universe/Multiverse perhaps what I'd recommend is to file a bug describing the issue and justifying the need for the fix, and then finding a MOTU to vouch for it. Translators could also add their comments there. In order to find a MOTU, the best thing might be just to go on #ubuntu-motu and ask around. I hope this helps.
