i18n support

You can now helt translate timekpr (only the GUI so far) in launchpad. Please go to: https://translations.launchpad.net/t.../+pots/timekpr and start translating!

So I did! As a thank you for this wonderful work! So good I am able to contribute. As I now have switched to Archlinux, I plan to build a package of timekpr in the AUR, as time permits.

Portuguese is now in 83%

I liked this software and so I'll do an article about it in my blog!

I have a problem translating the items #8 and #9 into hungarian:

Error in Translation: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 2, the character 'p' is not a valid conversion specifier.

The string I try to put is

Applied reward of %(num)s minute(s) to account %(user)s
%(user) számára %(num) perc jutalmat adtam

Set access hours to 00-24 on %(day)s for account %(user)s
00-24 hozzáférés %(user) számára %(day) napon

What is the reason?

UPDATE:
When I prepend the %(num) and %(user) with the s, all is ok. What is that s?

The s is for the substitution, the num and user is just so that translators can change the order of the words. I had some problems with this my self... The s was not included in my first tries and the translation did not work at all.

Ah ok, so it's OK now, thanks!

.nedberg, I need some hints on how to build the program from the sources. I want to build an Archlinux package. I there a description somewhere on the lauchpad site?

I don't know about Arch, but I used this how-to: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA

Short answer: 'debuild -S -sa' in the source dir to make a source package, then upload it with dput.

To just make a .deb (the one I upload to my own server) for non-intrepid versions, I use 'debuild -us -uc' in the source dir.

I might publish a newer beta version soon, so those who use my ppa should decide if they want to use the stable ppa (from timekpr-maintainers) or my ppa with beta version. I would like it if some of you test the beta version, but I understand it if you want stable!

Ok, the question was not really about how to make the package, but rather, what to do if I want to install timekpr from the source? I examined the structure of the deb package, and there is no compilation phase as I can see it, am I right? Installing is merely just copying the files to their respective places, and running the different install scripts?

Installing is merely just copying the files to their respective places, and running the different install scripts?

Edit: No, there's no compilation, python .py files are taken straight away, copied and replaced where necessary.

Unfortunately, timekpr uses a lot of debian's packaging stuff. Debian handles a lot of the installation scripts. Arch gives you much more power by letting you decide how the installation goes in a single command script.

To package it properly you have to look at every file under debian/ folder, especially postinst (post-installation) and postrm (post-remove and post-purge) and control files.

I'm working on a transition to proper python setuptools packaging, which would make the install easier to every operating system, but it will take a while, with my exams, the ubuntu-cy management and other stuff in the way. It will be my top priority for April.

If anyone is interested to do this, be my guest.
