Locale file names

[lgbaldoni]

Linux packaging would be a tad easier if locale files had an
underscore instead of a hyphen in their names.
E.g. rssguard-en.ts -> rssguard_en.ts, otherwise they might not
be recognised as l10n.

How exactly would be Linux packaging easier? Can you put some example here, please? :)

otherwise they might not be recognised as l10n.

Why?

[lgbaldoni]

I don't know whether this is a general Qt guideline or not, but when building a separate -lang package, some distros like openSUSE, Fedora, Mageia et al. use the %find_lang macro which fails to identify the locale files when a hyphen instead of an underscore is used as separator (see https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/scripts/find-lang.sh#L116).

So when you tried to use hyphens, it worked? Does replacing underscores with hyphens do the trick? If so, then I guess I could rename those files.

[lgbaldoni]

The other way around, but yes. I apply this patch to package rssguard on openSUSE (the path is not relevant though).

[martinrotter]

Nice patch!

But why is directory l10n renamed to directory lang? Is that a change I should include in main rssguard repo too?

[martinrotter]

Follow-up: You package RSS Guard "officially" for some distro?

[lgbaldoni]

Oh no, the path is not important, I just changed it because every other app I encountered used the "lang" folder.

Concerning the rest, I submitted rssguard to be included in the main repository, but these things take time.

By the way, I recently updated the Italian translation on transifex if you want to integrate it.

I see, I could change it too, "lang" is more self-descriptive.

Perfect, I will trigger the sync and push it to repo.

[lgbaldoni]

Sorry, I still see locale filenames using hyphens instead of underscores.

You need to check [dev] branch, https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/tree/dev

[lgbaldoni]

Ouch, sorry.
