Yes, they are the same images.  The copyright notice got overlooked
when they were moved into t4k_common.

btw - does my gpg key show up as "trusted" for the purposes of Debian
packages?  It's only signed by a single Debian developer.  It doesn't
appear there are any Debian developers close to my home.

I'm pretty sure this is due to Alioth's policy of only allowing logins
with ssh keys (i.e. signing in with a password is no longer allowed).
See:

http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH

The tux4kids git repos have no special security settings, just the
defaults provided by Alioth.  As a member of the Alioth "tux4kids"
project, you should be able to successfully create a read/write clone
using the method you attempted if you have uploaded your public key to
Alioth as described in the wiki.

ok. 

I noticed in issue in t4k_common: there doesnt seem to be a note about the 
copyright of the images (sigh, I know...), even though I assume they are 
copyright by you, a they are the same as in tuxmath where git blame 
doc/README_DATA_LICENCES tells me

So I probably only need to write this up nicely for debian/copyright and I can

Am I right about the images in t4k_common?

I had tried to set tags for the releases (e.g. "v2.0.3") but must have
done something wrong, as they indeed do not show up with "git tag -l".

The last tuxmath source release is what's on alioth:
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31080&release_id=1681#tuxmath---source-tuxmath---source---2.0.3-title-content

I may not have updated the links in the webpage, but the latest
sources are on the actual "files" page for tux4kids.

It has the gpg hashes to verify package integrity and that it was
signed by me, but that's a separate issue from the git sha to pin down
the exact commit corresponding to this release.

Tuxtype and t4k_common are at 1.8.1 and 0.1.1 respectively, as you wrote.

There have been enough enhancements from google code-in to make it
worthwhile for me to put out another release of tuxmath when the
program wraps up in a couple of weeks.

I should have said, according to the source download options on the websites. 
The release section has tuxmath 2.0.3 :)

Still looking for the exact release sha1s though.

[Tuxmath-devel] tuxtype + tuxmath releases

[Holger L. <ho...@la...>]

Hi,

I've started looking into preparing new uploads of tuxtype and tuxmath to 
Debian and noticed there are no tags set in the git repository. So I wonder 
which the latest releases are. (My mail archive didnt help much.)

According to the website, it's 0.1.1 for tux4kids-common, 2.0.1 for tuxmath 
and 1.8.1 for tuxtyping. (Those versions are listed in the source download 
options of tuxmath+type.)

Is that correct? Do you happen to know the git commit ids so that we can set 
tags?

If you created a ml.po file and put it in po/, the other thing you
need to do is edit po/LINGUAS to add "ml" to the list of languages to
be processed during e.g. "make install".  My guess is that's the
missing step.

Hi all,

I was having the following trouble and I had mailed a while ago. If anyone
could spare time, please let me know what I'm missing.

@David: I'd like to make the translation a GCI second wave task. That is
why I'd like to know what I have done wrong.

Due to some issues, I had to clone the tuxmath repo once again and I
followed the above steps in order to create a ml.po file. However, after
running 'sudo make install', the ml.gmo file was not created. But the ml.mo
file was there.

Do I need to double check on something?

[Tuxmath-devel] Typo in the INSTALL file in tuxmath.

[Haris I. K. V. <blu...@gm...>]

Hi David,

In the INSTALL file under doc/ of tuxmath, the following lines has a typo.

mkdir build
cd build
autoreconf --install ..
..configure             ##Shouldn't it be ../configure? That is how it
worked for me.
make
sudo make install

Do make the change when possible.

[Tuxmath-devel] GCI underway - several enhancements already pushed into Git

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

Google Code-In 2011 is off to a strong start, with the first wave of
completed tasks coming in.  I have just been reviewing the work on the
Tuxmath/Tuxtype side, but there have been several tasks completed for
Tux Paint as well.

The star contributor so far is Jakub Spiewak, who took about 24 hours
to implement a new frame-rate-independent, screen-size-independent
motion system for tuxmath's main comet game.  In preliminary testing,
the game looks quite noticeably smoother on my home desktop, and the
frame rate should degrade gracefully when used on the old, slow
machines that accumulate in schools.  We also have updated Catalan
translations for Tuxmath and Tuxtype, as well as a new translation of
tuxmath to the widely-used en_US@piglatin locale (really).

Kudos to all the 13-17 year olds who are pitching in to improve our
software, and big thanks as well to everyone who is helping with the
mentoring.

Also - Happy Thanksgiving to folks in the US!

On my Debian amd64 machine, I don't get a segfault when testing by
setting either LANG or LANGUAGE (I'm testing with fr_FR.UTF-8 as I
don't have your translation).  It might be helpful to try it with some
of the debugging turned on to see where it crashes, as a segfault is
always a bug (e.g. "LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath --debug-all")

That's not a crash - the game simply exits from the menus when the
user presses 'Esc', although as noted previously, it would make more
sense to have the program go back to the top-level menu.  Also, the
message about T4K_BlackOutline() doesn't mean the program is crashing.
 That message really should only show up in debugging output as it
just makes people worried

Look for where the string is displayed to the user, and see if it
appears in English or Malayalam.

When I ran it as follows:

haris@asylum:~$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath

I got a "segmentation fault" and the game didn't even start. However, the
follwing worked.

haris@asylum:~$ LANGUAGE=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath
Initializing Tux4Kids-Common 0.1.1
T4K_BlackOutline(): invalid ptr parameter, returning.

It took quite a while for the game to be loaded and also the game crashed

Sorry. I just realized that arrow button was to get the rest of the options

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Finding malayalam translation file.

[Haris I. K. V. <blu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I noticed that without setting the locale too, I'm not able to return to
the main menu from the second menu using the 'esc' key. It just quits
without an error warning. Also, the arrow buttons at the bottom right
corner disappears once we get to the second menu. That is, the menu we get
after we click 'play alone'.

Is that a bug or could we add that "arrow button" problem to the task list
of GCI?

I used 'poedit' and followed your instructions and successfully created
ml.po. I also added 'ml' to LINGUAS. However, I did not get what you meant
by "authorship header info".

When I ran it as follows:

haris@asylum:~$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath

I got a "segmentation fault" and the game didn't even start. However, the
follwing worked.

haris@asylum:~$ LANGUAGE=ml_IN.UTF-8 tuxmath
Initializing Tux4Kids-Common 0.1.1
T4K_BlackOutline(): invalid ptr parameter, returning.

It took quite a while for the game to be loaded and also the game crashed

the error message as above.

I had translated one single string to check it out. But how do I know if

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Finding malayalam translation file.

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

To add a translation e.g. ml.po, start with po/tuxmath.pot (*.pot stands
for po template) and edit, preferably with a dedicated po file editor to
avoid syntax errors but any text editor will do.  Make sure to fill out the
authorship header info properly.  Put ml.po alongside the other po files.
Also, add the new language code to po/LINGUAS.

Important - the po files must be encoded in UTF-8.

Next time you run "sudo make install", the machine-readable *.gmo file will
be generated and installed.

To test the translation, run tuxmath with the desired locale set, e.g.
"LANG=ml_ML.UTF-8 tuxmath" or similar.  You need to have the desired locale
installed on your machine for this to work.  IIRC, sometimes you need to
set the LANGUAGE environmental variable instead of LANG.

We can make this a GCI task.

Correct.  The /help/po/ section of the Tux Paint website is a web front-end
to the collection of PO files stored on my FTP server.  (It shows, for
example, percentage of completeness & last update date for each PO file,
for each part of the project.)

Those, in turn, are fetched from CVS, which is, of course, the most
up-to-date.  What's on FTP (and hence available from the /help/po/ webpage)
is fetched from CVS "when I get around to it".  I try to be quick, but... :)

Correct.  The others are strewn about elsewhere in FTP:

  ftp://ftp.billsgames.com/unix/x/tuxpaint/source/po/ -- Tux Paint
  ftp://ftp.billsgames.com/unix/x/tuxpaint/stamps/po/ -- TP Stamps
  ftp://ftp.billsgames.com/unix/x/tuxpaint/config/po/ -- TP Config.

For tuxmath and tuxtype, the translation files are po/*.po in the source
tree.  Offhand, I think malayalam is ml.po but I might have the
abbreviation wrong.   Tuxtype also has language-specific "themes" with word
lists and sometimes xml lessons that are under e.g. data/themes/malayalam/.

To understand how gettext-based internationalization works you need to read
the GNU gettext manual, and to some extent the other autotools (esp.
autoconf).

I'm not directly involved in tuxpaint development but I'm pretty sure that
is for internationalization of the tuxpaint website, not tuxpaint itself.
 Tuxpaint has its own *.po files in its source tree and uses GNU gettext,
but it doesn't use the autotools build system.
