I already noted this as well, and all I can say is that I fully
agree with you.

Attached is a small utility that can do the correction. Just try:
      msgcv el.msg cp1253
      msgcv ja.msg euc-jp
and the result is two new files "el.msg.out" and "ja.msg.out"
using the '\uXXXX' convention. It should be easy to apply
this to the message files in CVS now. For german, the umlaut-
correction should be done manually first. The Dutch translation
is already in the correct format ;-)

I think it because not everyone used the same tools to create the
message catalogue. I used MSGEdit, I think a few others did too (most
likely, the ones that came out with \u00xx). Some used standard editors
which did the output however they felt was best.

Uhm... imposed, no. Suggested, yes. I think George had said that the
files he had couldn't be read by the msgcat utility. So he did it how
best he could.

Jan sent us a note today saying he has a little utility that possibly
fixes the problem with George's file. If it does, George will hopefully
be able to send you another version of his translations.

I agree and will do it (Now that I know the umlaut-codes (:- Wiki)).

RE: Translations strings in CVS

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@aj...>]

I was just reviewing the msg catalog translation strings, and I had
some questions.

There seems to be different methods used for encoding the files.
The Spanish msgs use the \u00xx for extended chars, whereas the
German msgs avoid them by using the lower ascii expansion
(&uumlaut; == ue).  Hellenic (el.msg) comes across in something
that I can't view correctly on Windows or Unix (I do have
bitstream cyberbit on Windows, but no specific Greek font).

I know this was somewhat discussed, but it looks like no certain
resolution was imposed.

My thoughts... I think local languages should attempt to truly
localize.  This may work best the way the Spanish msgs are done -
(as well as French) in that \u00xx is used for high bit encodings.
I think the German (and partly the Dutch) messages should use
umlauted chars and the S-sharp where appropriate (or does MS avoid
this as well?).

As for the Hellenic, I just want to check to make sure that got
imported correctly.  The best thing about using \u00xx is that
it can't get garbled in something that doesn't understand high
bit chars.

George - please verify (by checking the file back out of 8.4
CVS and trying it) that this didn't get garbled.

Right.  That's the 'trick' of course -- to reap the benefits of a Bazaar
model without the code turning into a mess of spaghetti code.

Sound like the right steps.  The first (hopefully) leads to more active
participation from developers and a wider team of "core" contributors that
everyone trusts to do the right thing.

That's one of the key things you want to build up -- a larger group of
folks that you trust to do the right thing and to whom you can delegate
tasks (or better yet, they just pick them up because they need to be done).

That's also the first big pitfall -- get the wrong group of core folks and
you end up with a mess of code or personality conflicts that rip the project
apart (witness the *bsd* splinters over the years).

The other big pitfall is just learning to trust a wider range of folks and
even if you disagree with them sometimes to realize that if you can't design
and implement a better solution (usually due to time constraints), then
sometimes you have to let them go in a direction that maybe you wouldn't.

This was both a practical and political move -- people have been more
comfortable knowing that it wasn't just Cygnus (or me) calling the shots.
It's been extremely valuable in dealing with RMS and some conspiracy theory
folks.

But is was also a very practical move -- in the past GCC had been controlled
by two people (RMS on the policial side, Kenner on the development side) and
experience had shown us that that model simply wasn't working and we had to
try something different.

So we contacted a group of folks, not necessarily all developers, that had
a long term interest in seeing GCC succeed and who were well respected
in different communities that used GCC.   The steering committee basically
deals with political issues, not technical ones (which we leave in the hands
of the developers, where it belongs).  We've been very happy with the results.

Overall, the biggest thing I've found is if you make the developers happy,
they'll want to contribute more time/energy.  That in turn allows the project
to grow.  If the developers are unhappy, then you have to find out why and
rectify the problem.

I (personally) would not have gotten buddy-buddy with RMS again, it's been
a major headache, but I was outvoted on that particular issue.  The lesson
is be very careful who you bring into the political decision process; people
who are not willing to compromise for the overall good of the project are
generally bad choices :-)

Good luck,

Here is, finally, the fix for the described problem. Just apply this
patch to the standard MSGedit distribution and everything should be O.K.

The cause of this problem was a wrong ordering of substitutions before
saving the string. The result was that in the case of '\n' the
backslash was doubled. Performing the double-backslash substitution
before the '\n'-substitution fixes everything.

First off, you should have a look at gcc.gnu.org, which is the official
version of the old cygnus egcs site.  They have some nice stuff there.  The
Maintainers list and the hack rules are in the gcc sources.

Also, it might be good to contact the egcs folks - maybe Jeff Law would be a
good person to try, or Jim Wilson.  They are pretty dedicated to open source
development, and also have had a lot of experience both with the more closed
development of the old gcc, and with setting up a more open community in the
face of this other development model.  If you had some idea of what you
wanted to do, they would probably be willing to give you some good feedback
on it.  I know in particular that Jeff is not shy of expressing his
opinions, and he is a good guy to talk with.

Are these documents readily available somewhere?  It seems like they'd

There are two points here that I want to address.  One is the bit about
incompatible changes in Perl4->5.  That was a big change in the language,
they were adding a lot more structure, and if it was necessary to break a
few older scripts, then maybe that was not such a bad thing.  Perl kind of
sabotages itself in this regard, because it allows so many ways of
expressing the same thing that I imagine it is pretty hard to change things,
and support ALL possible ways to write Perl code.  The Perl code that I
wrote for NASA went from 4->5 no problem, however, so...  I don't think that
this is a relevant argument for or against OpenSource in the long run...

However, the more important point is that there you can't just open the
doors to all comers, and allow coherent software to come out of it.  But
this is not a new observation, and there are successful long-term software
projects that have found ways around this.  Gcc is one example, and recently
gdb is another.  Both are starting from fairly crusty inherited source
bases, with long histories and LOTS of users from all walks of life.  Gcc,
(starting with the egcs fork) put a lot of effort into setting up a steering
committee that contained both developers and users, and was not dominated by
any one interest.  Then they maintain a parallel, technical review structure
that maintains code quality through a system of area maintainers and careful
submission & review practices to assure that (a) submitted code is in line
both with the gcc design principles, and future goals and (b) the knowledge
of same are transmitted from one generation of gcc hackers to the next.
They have also documented these practices clearly, with Hack rules and well
defined maintainers lists, and supported them with a nice CVS repository,
and mailing lists for patches and general discussion...

Sorry to go on so long, but the main point is that there are good models for
doing open source development that don't fall into the trap of having the
maintainers try to do too much, and thus always fall behind community
expectations, and not take full advantage of the community; and a too open
system that makes the software inconsistent and ugly...

[TCLCORE] Words to consider...

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@aj...>]

I found this on Slashdot (The Cathedral and The Bizarre), which
is based on this article:
	http://www.macopinion.com/columns/macskeptic/00/07/07/index.html

The whole thing is well worth reading, but I'm excerpting some juicy
bits to ponder:

....
Programmers - at least the kind who are likely to get
involved in OpenSource project - are a notoriously independent lot.
They love to do their own thing and always think they have a better
way to do things.

Normally, this is an advantage because, with filtering and discipline,
this is from whence the fountain of creativity which drives this
industry comes. Unchecked and unfiltered, though, and you have
unbridled chaos. As a result, you have no less than six different
desktop systems and two different configuration systems and tools
whose command line options change not only from system flavour -
but from revision to revision. Perl is the best example of this - when
they went to version five, they changed the language syntax in a way
which broke existing code. Perl itself is a testimony to the
OpenSource mindset - it's a gruesome mishmash of inconsistent
syntax and function calls - definitely a product designed by
committee - but one wherein each member clearly wasn't listening to
anyone else.

Raymond touts the stability of Linux as proof of the OpenSource
concept, but that's a bit misleading. The core of Linux was written
by one person - Linus Torvalds. Moreover, there is a small group
who shepherds the contributions to the kernel to keep it stable and
clean. In other words, there's a priesthood at the top of the bazaar.
If you check into each successful OpenSource project, you see the
same thing: a small group of referees who filter the input and weed
out the bad ideas. The bazaar has cops. The chaos is contained.
....
....
People jump on the bandwagon and promote the software, and the
crowd grows and grows - often way out of proportion to the quality
of the solution. Perl, again, is an excellent example of this. It's really
a terrible language - badly.. ok... not designed, clumsy and
arbitrary. But it works - is better than shell scripting, and more
powerful than awk... and it was the first serious attempt at such a
language. So it went platinum with a bullet.
....
....
Ironically, when commercial developers release applications which
are clearly not 100%, we accuse them of forcing the customer to be
beta testers, but in a sense, OpenSource assumes you're not only
going to be a tester; you're going to be a programmer and fix the
bug!

Ok, I have gzipped the file and attached it to this mail.
The message file is in utf-8 encoding.

My opinion is that the whole message catalog
facility has to store its messages only in this format. I see no point in
doing a simple source of the file that contains the messages and leave
the code inside this file to do the necessary conversions.
Instead if we decide that files are sourced with a default encoding (a feature which
I think will be in next release, source -encoding), then there will be no need for
conversions. In order to use the message catalog as is right now, I have to place
a "encoding convertfrom iso8859-7..." in front of every (!) string.
And I am not sure if this would not depend on the system encoding...

[TCLCORE] trace command patch

[Eric M. <er...@aj...>]

Vince Darley submitted a patch for 8.4 to provide [trace command]
capabilities.  Before I go ahead and merge it, I wanted to get one last
review of the API by everybody here.  I've CC'd Vince so he stays in the
loop on this, and can maybe answer some questions if we have any.

The specific problem we wanted to solve was this:  when creating
megawidgets, it's common practice to do the following:

frame .f
rename .f .f:real
interp alias {} .f {} MegawidgetProc .f

But now, if the user does:

rename .f {}

to delete the megawidget, it will destroy the command, but not actually
clean up the megawidget, as it would if it were a "real" widget.  So we
wanted to be able to trace command deletion.  While we were at it, we
figured, let's trace command renaming, and command execution too, what the
heck, right?

Vince put together a nice patch to do just this, and to clean up the
[trace] syntax as well.  It updates trace with the following syntax:

trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command|execution} ops ...

while retaining [trace variable], etc, for backwards compatibility.  

Variable traces support read, write, and unset operations; command traces
support rename and delete operations; execution traces are used to trace
command execution, and have several additional options:

trace add execution name ops ?-minlevel m -maxlevel n -truncate t -depth d?

The full patch is at

ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/pub/alpha/tcl/tracecommand.patch.gz

If you are so inclined, please take a look at it and give us some
comments.  I think the patch looks very good; I've tested it out and it
works as advertised, has tests, and doc's.  My only concern is with the
syntax of the execution traces.  I think that "execution" should just be
another operation for command traces, rather than an entirely separate set
of traces.  My guess is that Vince split it out because of the need for
the extra options.  But I don't feel strongly that it should be changed.
Does anybody else have any comments on this, or on any other parts of the
patch?
