eric itself is arch: all, the this would not be a problem. Still, if I created an eric-i18n package, I would have to merge all the separate translation tarballs (one per language) into one package. Is there a best-practice for this? greetings Torsten - -- Torsten Marek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ID: A244C858 -- FP: 1902 0002 5DFC 856B F146 894C 7CC5 451E A244 C858 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDX5FqfMVFHqJEyFgRAuP6AJ9GbXdHKb7J8PGK1don4jZQ+93AIwCdH8jM j38Pt77Vk2K7Io7RhVEio78= =zq+0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
