[Gutsy] Tagtool without icon and in english only

Icon problem confirmed. Fix will be available in my PPA soon. But I have no idea about French translations. Perhaps you will have to set language at login time.

Fix for icon problem available in my PPA.
Can anyone from MOTU team sync the package http://ppa.launchpad.net/onkarshinde/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tagtool/tagtool_0.12.3-2ubuntu1~ppa1.dsc
Please let me know if there are any packaging problems.

Thanks a lot for the icon fix and i wait for the update in synaptic.

Concerning the translation problem : i did not understand the sentence "you will have to set language at login time".
My Gutsy is in french and there is only tagtool in english.
Can i do something to help you ? Provide a file, a dmesg or another thing ?

Doing a 'dpkg -L easytag |grep fr' from command line gives me following,

/usr/share/locale/fr
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/easytag.mo

So that means translation file is installed. I don't use/understand French so I really can not help you in this matter.

The attached debdiff fixes the icon problem. I am assuming that this can be considered as a SRU.
Please let me know if it is not the case. Then I will prepare an update for hardy version.

First of all, thanks for your work, it is appreciated.

Concerning gutsy, yes, this would require an sru which is very unlikely to be granted for such a fix (the easy workaround is simply to select the icon manually with alacarte).
For hardy, I have given a look at the package and I think this would also need to be fixed. Can you check it and eventually propose a fix?

I forgot to mention that you should check too if a TagTool icon is not by any chance being provided upstream, so that it is just a question of installing it (instead of using the menu pixmap).

>>> From Onkar Shinde : "Doing a 'dpkg -L easytag |grep fr' from command line gives me following,
/usr/share/locale/fr
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/easytag.mo

So that means translation file is installed."

Hum....but we speak about the tagtool package and not about the easytag package.
If i try the correct command line on my computer i can see that there is the tagtool.mo on my machine (see the screenshot) :

Is there a magical dpkg-reconfigure trick to switch the language in tagtool ?

Please find attached the debdiff for hardy package. There were some unintentional changes to config.sub and config.guess files. I have removed them manually.

@patrick,

Sorry for confusion. I was testing two packages simultaneously. But I can't really help you with the translation problem.

@Onkar

Thanks, just two remarks:

1) Next time please use the correct ubuntu version number (I changed it to 0.12.3-3ubuntu1)
2) You can automagically close the bug report by adding an (LP: #xxxxx) tag to the changelog

Can you please open a bug report with Debian asking that they also consider adding a dh_icons call?
Once you do that please link it to this bug report.

@Patrick

Re. Translations, the package is correct so its most probably just a configuration problem on your machine. You can open a support request in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/

tagtool (0.12.3-3ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Add dh_icons to update icon cache (LP: #160152).
  * debian/control: Update maintainer fields according to
    debian-maintainer-field spec.

Accepted to gutsy-proposed, please test

If you would like to test it, please add the following lines
to /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed universe

Then update and install tagtool with your preferred package manager.

Note that we need at least 2 positive tests for this to be accepted in gutsy-updates.

For testers:

note that as of now (21.11.2007, 10:00 UTC) only the powerpc, ia64 and i386 packages have been built:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tagtool/0.12.3-2ubuntu0.1

When testing please make sure that the packages are either upgraded correctly or that the packages in gutsy-proposed for your architecture are already available.
You will recognise the packages in -proposed since they have an ubuntuX.Y
version, in this case this is 0.12.3-2ubuntu0.1.

Thank you!

Tagtool tested: works fine in Gutsy.

Sorry for the delay (my mirror repository was slow to sync).

Tagtool tested : eveything is ok and now the interface is in french.
Great !
Thanks.

Tagtool from gutsy proposed tested : it is in French now (on my installation) while it was still in English with the one in gutsy.

Thanks everybody for testing.
Since we have three successful tests (4 counting me) and 7 days have elapsed, I'm tagging this as verification-motu-done and I'm subscribing this to the archive admins to request that this package is moved from -proposed to -updates, in accordance to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Universe

Copied to -udpates.
