This is a simple Python 3 script to ease rebuilding of FGData embedded
resources for FlightGear. It uses fgrcc in conjunction with
<FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources/FGData-resources.xml and the
FGData files mentioned therein to (re)create the FGData-resources.[ch]xx
files used in the FlightGear build. The existing files in the FlightGear
repository are always overwritten (namely, FGData-resources.[ch]xx in
<FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources).
There are command-line options (--flightgear, --fgdata and --fgrcc) to
indicate where the FlightGear and FGData repositories, as well as the
fgrcc executable can be found. However, it is most convenient to put
these paths once for all in the config file
$HOME/.fgmeta/rebuild-fgdata-embedded-resources.json (use
'rebuild-fgdata-embedded-resources --help' to see an example). This way,
you can invoke the script without any argument whenever you want to
update <FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources/FGData-resources.[ch]xx.
This script doesn't depend on any module out of the Python standard
library (intentionally, in case distributors want to use it to recreate
themselves the FGData-resources.[ch]xx files). It should work on Python
3.5 and later versions.
Add the following files:
python3-flightgear/README-l10n.txt
python3-flightgear/fg-convert-translation-files
python3-flightgear/fg-new-translations
python3-flightgear/fg-update-translation-files
python3-flightgear/flightgear/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/exceptions.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/i18n.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/logging.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/misc.py
They should work on Python 3.4 and later (tested with 3.5.3). The folder
structure is chosen so that other FG support modules can insert
themselves here, and possibly be used together. I put all of these
inside 'flightgear.meta', because I don't expect them to be needed at FG
runtime (neither now nor in the future), probably not even by the CMake
build system.
To declare that a string has plural forms, simply set the attribute
'with-plural' to 'true' on the corresponding element of the default
translation (and as in Qt, use %n as a placeholder for the number that
determines which singular or plural form to use).
