request for freeze breakage - gok

[David Bolter <david bolter utoronto ca>]

module: gok
maintainers: David Bolter, Bill Haneman
bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152086
patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=31390&action=view

We've discovered that our gok-with-references.schemas.m4 file is busted.

This doesn't matter for a casual install from tarball or cvs, but 
matters if a developer or translator decides to update the schemas.in 
file (as per the somewhat buried directions) however it means that 17 
strings are erroneously going unmarked; fixing the m4 file will cause 
the strings to become marked.

If the i18n team thinks the strings can go in now, then we request 
release-team permission to apply patch:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=31390&action=view

If the i18n team thinks patch should go into 2.8.1 instead (which is 
what we request), then we will apply the patch post-2.8.0.

If the release-team thinks the broken m4 macro is a 2.8.0 risk, we can 
apply an alternate, temporary patch which simply reverts/removes the 
broken macros such that the impact on the current string situation is nil.

[note: that the m4 change came in from the i18n team (Sun i18n team that 
is) but that it was improperly applied due to a merge failure, and since 
we didn't run m4 manually the problem did not surface when the patch was 
initially introduced (before string freeze).]

cheers,

David
