So, what if there was a group of users in charge +</I>>><i> of updating the package descriptions/translations where needed? Would +</I>>><i> this work? +</I>><i> The problem is that currently if we want to translate the description, then +</I>><i> +</I>><i> we have to modify the SPEC of the RPM, which can only be done with +</I>><i> packager. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Like the previous messages, we have 2 methods to choose: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 1 .po files for 1 package +</I>><i> +</I>><i> or +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 1 .po files for multiple packages +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The first one would cause many .po files to maintain, while the other +</I>><i> +</I>><i> cause the maintainence hard( too complicate). +</I>><i> ==== +</I>><i> I think maybe a more aggresive way is better: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Make the detailed description available only for programs, not packages. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Currently the RPMDRAKE is packages based, which is hard for newbies to find +</I>><i> +</I>><i> programs they need and the amount of the description need to maintain +</I>><i> also scares +</I>><i> +</I>><i> everyone off. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The "Programs with GUI" option is the first step, but I think we should +</I>><i> step further, +</I>><i> +</I>><i> let people install programs, not packages. Therefore, we can ease both +</I>><i> the difficulty +</I>><i> +</I>><i> of maintain descriptions and installation harsh. +</I>><i> +</I> +Ah! I guess my choice of words. I am still finding my way around the +jargon. I would have meant all of this for software. Yes. This would all +make sense. + +I agree with you. And as stated earlier, often the description has been +updated on the programme's website and there is little fiddling around +to include it. + +I also believe that we should try to help the devs as much as possible +and make their work as much as "developer" by nature as possible. We can +take care of the more mundane tasks for them. Let's let them code to +their heart's delight and we will just gain more from their hard and +generous work. Just as they will with us. + +BTW, in my opinion, the default GUI setting in the MCC was not a right +choice. It excluded too many pieces of software for users. I usually +recommended people to select the "All" setting, and from there to search +for the ideal programme. There are just not enough GUI packages in the +repos to make it fun in that particular sections. Everything should be +available to the user. + +Marc + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002626.html">[Mageia-discuss] Suggestions +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002645.html">[Mageia-discuss] Suggestions +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2627">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2627">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2627">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2627">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
