Spelling and wording errors

[Endolith]

Binary package hint: sbackup

There are a number of spelling and wording errors in Sbackup, like "The selected destination is not writtable" or "If this parameter is ommited". I tried to submit a patch on SourceForge in August, but nothing has happened with it yet?

Hey Endolith,

thank you for taking the time reporting this bug. Unfortenately it is very unlikely to be fixed in sbackup since most of the man power is put into NSsbackup - an enhanced fork of sbackup project.

The reported bug (and many more) is fixed in NSsbackup resp. doesn't exist there. So, please just give it a try and help making it better. You can use it as usual software including installing via package manager.

Have a look at the project's site at https://launchpad.net/nssbackup and the at the FAQs: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+faqs.

I don't know what is happened to your submitted patch - but sbackup is not receiving much of love in the most recent past ;)

Thank you.

Jean-Peer

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "Some fixes" was not flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug and this attachment is one! Subsequently, I've checked the patch flag for it. In the future when submitting patches please use the patch checkbox as there are some Launchpad searches that use this feature. Thanks for your contribution Endolith!

This "writtable" error is not in fact fixed in Not So Simple Backup Suite 0.2-0 RC7

[Ciarán Mooney (ciaran-mooney)]

Submitted a branch of mine for merging that has the "writtable" typo fixed.

[Ciarán Mooney (ciaran-mooney)]

Had a more thorough looked through the en_GB.po file and fixed all the mistakes I could see. Mainly simple spelling errors, some grammar, and making sure there was no space between last letters and punctuation eg "stop !" -> "stop!".

Uploaded these fixes to my personal branch of nssbackp:
