New salix-update-notifier, please test (and translate)

[gapan]

ibka, can you point me where exactly it is not translated? I'm running it here with LANG=sv_SE.utf8 and everything seems to be translated.

Hi gapan

This is the content of the de-compiled salix-update-notifier.mo from the salix-update-notifier-20251024-x86_64-1gv.txz package:



it is missing a lot of translations and this is the po file from Transifex:

Hello,
Same here. I installed salix-update-notifier-20251024-x86_64-1gv.txz but no translations are showing (except the 'Annulla' button on bottom left side).
Here are the screenshots:

Ah, that was by fault. I forgot to sync the git repo on the machine I'm using to build the packages. So, I thought I had included the updated translations in the latest package, but I hadn't. New packages are up now, they should be OK, thanks again!

Hello gapan,
YES, now it's working correctly. All is duly shown in correct localisation. Thumbs up and thanks for your work, much appreciated.

Hi gapan

Yes it is OK now.

I have a Salix installation in VirtualBox for experimenting and i was running salix-update-manager in a terminal and it shows the following:

Notice the "DEBUG:" part
I took a look at the source of salix-update-manager and there is more than one of this line:

Code: Select all

print("DEBUG:", line)

When i do something like this i put a variable in the beginning of the code and then check if the variable is true do the print part, this makes it easier if i have a lot of debug prints in the code.
Just a tip.

And again thanks for your work, i have used Salix for about 15 years now.

Hi ibka, yes, I know

I just wanted it to always print those during testing.

[gapan]

Well, updated packages are up. There are no debug messages now by default, but you can show them if you run it from the command line with --debug.

[gapan]

I just uploaded version 1.0.0 packages to the repos. Mirrors should sync in a few hours. So, you can remove salix-update-notifier from your EXCLUDE list in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc now.

Thank you so much everyone for testing this!

On one machine running Salix 15 32-bit, the new salix-update-manager hangs on 'reading package list' after entering the password, and nothing happens. The situation is the same whether the program is launched directly or via the tray icon notification.
