The way I imagine it is that the .mo files would be installed in /usr/share/locale as all the other packages do, too. The only question is how to let Etoys know where to go look for its locale files. A symlink created by the installation script would be the simplest solution IMHO. Otherwise we would have to try to pass the directory as argument to etoys in its launcher script which to me seems overly complicated. >> If we prefix all Etoys .mo files then they could be installed to the system >> folder. > > If you use the usual flags as used by all packages for Linux distros > it means you're standard and it will work with all the various linux > distro options. > > Peter Not sure what you mean by flags. What I mean by prefixes is this: Currently Etoys uses mo files named e.g. Collections.mo, Compression.mo, Connectors.mo, etc. This works fine because Etoys had the whole LC_MESSAGES directory for itself. I would propose to rename them to Etoys-Collections.mo, Etoys-Compression.mo, Etoys-Connectors.mo, etc. because if we share the same directory with other packages it would be hard to identify which mo files belong to Etoys. - Bert - _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
