"Apparent" string-freeze breaks in gok, gnopernicus

[danilo gnome org (Danilo Åegan)]

Hi translators,

There have been apparent string freeze breakages in gok and
gnopernicus, according to status pages. 

Still, these are not string freeze breakages, but rather,
intltool-extract bugs fixed (without me even knowing about these
bugs really existing in any of the real Gnome modules!).  This is part
of the relevant ChangeLog entry I added at the time:

	* intltool-extract.in.in (type_xml): Adjust re to allow for
	translating both content and attributes (i.e. 
	<_t _name="ah">content</_t>).

It was part of the fix at
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143581

So, the problem was that intltool never allowed translatable tags to
have attributes as well, which is what GOK and Gnopernicus have been
using for quite some time.

Now, I guess Carlos has just updated intltool to latest CVS HEAD on
the computer which generates status pages, and that's why this has
shown this late in the process.  Carlos, can you confirm or deny
this guess of mine?

Since this still seems like a string freeze break from translators'
POV, I'd like to hear some comments on the any of the following
"solutions": 
1. leave everything as is, meaning translators have a bunch of
   messages to translate this LATE in the process
2. get back to earlier intltool for status pages, thus making
   translations stay at the same status as they were, but advise gok
   and gnopernicus maintainers to use latest CVS HEAD intltool so
   those translations which exist would be used (translators would
   have to check-out gok/gnopernicus and use latest intltool if they
   wish to have these translated)

I'm terribly sorry that intltool is as buggy as it is, but I at least
hope that I'm doing a good job in reducing the number of those bugs.
The solution would probably be to switch intltool-extract to XML
parser as well, but with bad choice of XML parser (IMO) for
intltool-merge, we'd lose ability to have comments extracted, etc.

It's also a shame GOK and Gnopernicus users haven't noticed this any
earlier (that these messages weren't translated).

Cheers,
Danilo
