Applications menu item is mispelled

[Murray Cumming]

Binary package hint: accerciser

The Applications/Programming menu item (to start accercise) has a typo. It says "Accerciser Accesibility Explorer" but should be "Accerciser Accessibility Explorer". That's one s too few in "Accessibility". I'm using Hardy Heron.

The change actually has to be made in the po/en_*.po files as the .desktop file is generated automatically.

David, thank you for your patch.
Unfortunately it needs a bit more work:
 - the Encoding field does not get removed, as stated in the changelog
 - at least on KDE4, with no regional settings, the original "Name" field gets used, so it should get fixed there, too.
   "grep Accesibility . -R -l | xargs sed -i s/Accesibility/Accessibility/g" in the source package worked for me.
 - using "editdiff" you can then drop any changes from the patch, which are not required, e.g. those to debian/control or accerciser.desktop/accerciser.desktop.in, because they get generated from *.in

Once you've attached a new debdiff, I will sponsor it.

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

Removed the encoding field, edited the desktop.in.in _NAME field and removed excess rubbish from the debdiff.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

David, I've not tried it, but it looks like it won't work: you need to fix the msgid with the typo also for all the existing .po files.

Basically, "grep Accesibility . -R -l" in the source package should only return files which get generated from some .in file.

[Pedro Fragoso (ember)]

David, you can use my patch from bugzilla.

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

Ok, thanks for both of your help so far. Here is a debdiff with Pedro's patch from Bugzilla and my edits to debian/control. Should (hopefully) be fine.

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Perhaps it's just me but the patch doesn't apply here.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Yes, the patch is malformed, but "recountdiff" fixes it.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of unfixed places in there, according to "grep Accesibility . -R -l", especially the msgid in ./accerciser.desktop.in.in needs to get fixed, too.

Please keep in mind though, that I'm not very experienced with intltool usage in Gnome packages myself and may be totally wrong somewhere..

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

Please note that a new upstream version of this package has not long been uploaded as I was not entirely aware of this bug. I'm happy to sponsor a fix, if someone is working on it.

This bug was fixed in the package accerciser - 1.2.0-0ubuntu2
