Packaging about shadowcraft-engine HOT 6 CLOSED

Having this be installable seems like a nice feature, and I don't see that it really hurts anything to do it. That said, finding a time when people don't have outstanding changes is likely to be a bit tricky, as there's quite a few people doing quite a lot of work on this.

Just checking in: my ongoing stuff (other ep values) wouldn't have any trouble with such a change.

Regarding i18n, is core/files.in a generated file or is it edited manually?

Edit: the .po files in core/local have paths in them, I assume these are generated. Is there a way to adjust them without having to re-enter all the translations? I can manually adjust them, it's just pasting in shadowcraft/ a bunch, but I don't know if it will break the next time translations are updated. Are those paths even used for translation or are they only comments?

Files.in is edited manually whenever a new pot template is needed. You don't need to worry about anything i18n related:
The only files that gettext uses are .mo files and those don't need line references; po and pot files are not used at all by gettext: they are there so that new translators have a file to start with. The line/file references are updated automatically using the gnu package utilities xgettext/msginit and its only use is for xgettext to update easily the pot template which is something that I'll be doing periodically.

edit: in theory i18n.py should find its path to the mo files on its own, but if something breaks I take responsibility to make it work again.

Some packaging improvements were made; are there more that we still want to have happen, or can I close this out?

From what I remember there's some issues with installing localization files, but that's something we can review if we ever add actual translations. Should be fine for now.
