I have a version of the gnome-applets code base that uses an external version of libgweather. I would like use this for the 2.21.5 release, so I'm asking if anyone has serious objections.
Obviously this relies on Federico getting a tarball release of libgweather out the door (I'll be making my decisions at approximately 9am UTC on the 14th of January, if a release isn't done by then I will wait - possibly until 2.23 since we're getting on in the cycle). The effects this should have: i18n: No new strings, but some files with strings and the massive Locations.xml are moving. I think everything has been migrated properly, so translators should merely have to point their tools at a new place. Documentation: None, there is no UI (although the gweather applet location selection UI may eventually be migrated) and the API isn't actually documented. Bugzilla: Bugs about locations and the like will almost certainly end up getting filed against the gweather applet rather than libgweather. This is probably something we'll just have to live with - its the same with all libraries. In principle this shouldn't be a major change since it is effectively splitting an existing code-base in two rather than introducing a new dependency. However, I don't want to do anything without asking first. Current SVN trunk has the relevant code - although I'm prepared to revert (I managed to create a branch with the code and then commit the same code to trunk). Comments, criticisms? - Callum _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
