SRU for http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl

[Daniel Jelinski]

The current values for these translations are quite problematic for users of PL Jaunty:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ubuntu/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-main/pl/630/+translate
https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ubuntu/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-main/pl/635/+translate
I believe these to be the reason for [url=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/321395]bug 321395 in Ubuntu[/url]
The suggested translations should be fine. Could somebody update Translations-pl file?

Hi,
I approved new suggestions. That should also fix related bug

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

Normally package description translations are not updated anymore after an Ubuntu release.
However bug 321395 is a high impact bug that affects every Polish Ubuntu user, so I think this justifies to fix this bug in Jaunty.
Subscribing the ubuntu-archive team, please upload a corrected version of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl

Hello,

if you can provide me a diff for the http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl translation file with the new strings, I can prepare a new upload to jaunty-proposed that we can then copy after a SRU verfication.

[Daniel Jelinski (dumbass-wp)]

here you go

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

I'm hereby requesting a Stable Release Update.

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl has invalid format because some strings of some translations for package descriptions have been set incorrectly in rosetta.
Some texts below Description-pl field have no 1 space indent and this results in crashes for package managers, e.g. synaptic and adept (KDE).

The incorrect strings have been fixed already in rosetta, see https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ubuntu/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-main/pl/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=Copy+text
But http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl still needs an update!

This is a high impact bug that causes package managers like synaptic and adept to crash (see bug #321395) and affects every Polish Ubuntu user in Ubuntu 9.04 (Intrepid). This should be Nominated for Release Ubuntu 9.04 (Intrepid), but this is not available for ddtp-ubuntu project. This issue is no longer available in Ubuntu 9.10 or higher.
The diff/patch asked for has been attached to this bug report.
This would close bug #321395.

mvo,
Don't we need a validation of the resulting Translation-xx files in apt-ddtp-tools to avoid this problem in the future?

[David Planella (dpm)]

What's the status of this bug?

Michael, Pascal, could you update the status to "Fix Released" if appropriate? Thanks!

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

Jaunty is still affected by this bug, actually all that is needed to fix this bug is an update of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-pl according to the attached patch.

Karmic and higher are not affected and a validation has been added in apt-ddtp-tools to avoid this problem in the future.

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

Closing this bug report as Jaunty reached end of life on October 23, 2010.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
Karmic and higher are not affected and a validation has been added in apt-ddtp-tools to avoid this problem in the future.
