FP: Some more suggestion

[Kartik Mistry]

Hi,

First of all, many thanks to Donn for quick fixes for bug reported at
Debian BTS and nice co-ordination!

Here are some more suggestion to improve FP:

1. Can we have NEWS or Changelog file? I have seen that README
contains some older changelog for versions upto 0.3.6...
2. We are also putting .mo files in different way, currently it is
installing in following location..

-rw-r--r-- root/root 15465 2009-07-07 17:25
./usr/share/pyshared/fontypythonmodules/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/all.mo
-rw-r--r-- root/root 34055 2009-07-07 17:25
./usr/share/pyshared/fontypythonmodules/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/all.mo
-rw-r--r-- root/root 34188 2009-07-23 22:07
./usr/share/pyshared/fontypythonmodules/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/all.mo

However, correct and standard way is to put locale as:

/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSEGES/fontypython.mo and so on..

3. I have seen .po files in source. Its fine. I can remove it from
Debian package as it is not needed in binary..

Many thanks again and happy hacking.

PS: I am uploading package with #3 fix + 0.4.1 version. Take your time
for #1 and #2 :)

Hi Kartik,

There is a CHANGELOG file in the svn repo. I have just added it to the voodoo
so that next time I make a tarball it will be included.

Err... I find setup.py (distutils) to be a badly documented beast to work with,
but I will have a go. Can you confirm if the /use/share/locale path is cross-
distro (same on fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc. etc.)?

Ah, thanks -- I will make a note and try to exclude them next round.

Best,

In my setup.pys, I add the following line:

[('share/locale/'+lang+'/LC_MESSAGES/', ['locale/'+lang
+'/LC_MESSAGES/program_name.mo'] ) for lang in listdir('locale')],

to the data_files argument of the setup() call.

Bye

Thanks Pietro. I will have a go when I get a chance.
