FW: [cobalt-developers] Qube3 pkg Hell

[Mat Schaffer <mschaffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The .po and .mo are files for i18n support.  Assuming you don't use any [[]]
tags in your package, you don't need them.
The way they work is that you set up a .po that contains
pkgName="ThisPackage" and so on and so forth.  Then when you want something
in your package to say "ThisPackage" you use [[pkgName]].
The .mo file is the actual one that gets read by i18n.  You generate it from
the .po using msgfmt.
But as I said, unless you want to have multi-language support in your
package during installation, you don't need either of these.
If something's not listing correctly in the prepare section, you've probably
got a misformatted packing_list file.  I'll send you a basic package file.
(I tried sending it to the list, but aparently attachments aren't allowed.)
I have yet to see a manual with actual descriptions of how to use each tag.
But most of them are self-explanitory.
Hope this helps.
-Mat

Hi

Does anyone understand the Qube3 pkg system my pkg works except it doesn't
list correctly in the prepare section or the installed software list, I've
narrowed it down to the 2 files in pkginfo/locale/en .po seems to be unclear
text but doesn't get read and the .mo file is sort of in clear text but not
really but seems to be the file the info comes from.

Any ideas, its annoying the hell out of me

Gavin
