[08:44] <dpm> hey danilos, do you know if intltool supports generic xml files, such as http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gwibber-committers/gwibber/trunk/view/head:/data/gwibber.application ?
[08:45] <dpm> We'd like to extract the <description> tag strings from that file for the 12.10 Online Accounts dialog
[08:45] <danilos> dpm, only if "_" are prepended to tags
[08:45] <dpm> danilos, to both the opening and closing tags? I'm trying this and it seems to ignore the file
[08:46] <dpm> as in <_description>Integrate your feed data</_description>
[08:46]  * dpm tries other combinations
[08:46] <danilos> dpm, yes, to both; you might need to specify --type=gettext/xml to intltool-extract
[08:46] <dpm> ah, good point
[08:46]  * dpm tries
[08:47] <dpm> I can specify it on POTFILES.in as well, I guess
[08:48] <danilos> dpm, yeah, using [gettext/xml] on the beginning of the line
[08:58] <dpm> danilos, hm, that didn't seem to work, intltool-update does not create a POT file and complains that there were no translatable strings. Do these look ok to you? I'm trying to see if I've missed something obvious -> POTFILES.in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dpm/+junk/testintl/view/head:/po/POTFILES.in and the XML file: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dpm/+junk/testintl/view/head:/data/gwibber.application.in
[09:00] <dpm> ah, intltool-extract --type="gettext/xml" ../data/gwibber.application.in works, but not if the type is specified in POTFILES.in
[09:04] <dpm> ok, got it: wrong syntax in POTFILES.in - it should be [type: gettext/xml]data/gwibber.application.in
[09:36] <dpm> in any case, for those interested, this concerns bug 1052375
[09:45] <danilos> dpm, sorry for the wrong syntax :)
[09:46] <dpm> danilos, no worries, was not difficult to figure out. I knew you were just testing me :P
[09:46] <danilos> dpm, exactly :D
