Ubuntu Tweak has repository now!
January 22nd, 2008 | by TualatriX |Hello folks!
A good news about Ubuntu Tweak: it finally has been added to the Launchpad PPA repository!

Hei TualatriX
My Norwegian translation doesn’t work. It is currently set up as no_NO, but needs to be nb_NO (there are two different versions of Norwegian) You can leave in both, I think.
Hoping you
Thanks!

Many thanks Ketil!
I’ve uploaded a new package of both no and ne translation.
I hope it will work.

Excellent. Works great now. However, right of the bat, I discover two annoying typos. Check here for an updated po-file for Norwegian:
http://home.no.net/kwaanens/linux/translate/ubuntu-tweak.po
Sorry about the fuzz!
Come to think about it, you can put this package in as language nn_NO as well. There are differnt languages in Norway, but they are really similar, so nn-users will likely prefer nb over English. I’ll see about making a dedicated nn-translation as well.

YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS IF: you have apt-get or aptitude configured to check GPG signatures (which is the default under Gutsy and I believe since at least Dapper). Quickly browsing this site did not point out an obvious link to same.
If you are running your package manager from teh command line, it will complain but give you the opportunity to accept an untrusted package. No such option will be given for an automated or GUI-driven update (this includes the automatic-update white-star-on-red-field icon in GNOME).
Users should be advised to run update and dist-upgrade manually until the appropriate GnuPG public key is published and added to your keyring. Developer folks: great that you’ve got the channel up; can we finish the job now? THANKS!

@dickey: PPAs don’t use keys, do they?

@Ketil:
I’ve uploaded the file to Launchpad. Now waiting the Admin import it.
If you have time, I think you can upload the translation to launchpad by yourself. Once the first uploading is finished, it can be translated by any other people who want to translate it.
I think it’s the best way.
nn_NO? OK, I’ll make it.

Thanks. Great work setting this up for Launchpad translation!
Do you have a good howto on the process to putting up localisation support in (python) applications?
By Ketil on Jan 23, 2008 | Reply
By the way. You have put Norwegian as ne_NO. That language doesn’t exist, and can be removed.
I put up for nn_NO and nb_NO.

Still no GnuPG public key available?

Sorry. I can’t find the way to set a public key of PPA repository.
By TualatriX on Jan 27, 2008 | Reply
@Ketil, about howto on the process to putting up localisation support in (python) applications.
I only use “pygettext” to create the po template and use module “gettext” in application.

@TualatriX: Aren’t PPAs keyless by design?

Dear friends
I am trying to be a new user for ubuntu-tweak. But I couldn’t find anywhere how it will be installed on computer and/or to memostick.
The file I found is ubuntu-tweak_0.2.1-1_i386.deb
Thanks

@Oktay: If you’re using, just double click the file and it should install itself after you punch in your password. A better way is to:
Terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu gutsy main
to the file, and update the repos in synaptic. Install ubuntu-tweak, and you’re good to go. This way you’ll get notice on updates.
