intltool has long been dead upstream. Let's not poke the dead corpse,
please.
This commit is quite large, but that's mostly since trying to support a
hybrid of both gettext and intltool with both Meson and Autotools was
really hard, so I stopped trying.
Due to gettext relying on quite some things being at the exactly right
place in the autotools build (like `ABOUT-NLS` and `config.rpath`) we
really needed to cleanup the `autogen.sh` to only call `aclocal` and
`autoreconf`. No more strange magic; I tried to do it without changing
too much in the file, and things just broke. If people want to do
something more custom, they can just change the script directly. This
change also uncovered some problems in our `configure.ac`, like using
deprecated macros.
The following major changes happened:
* meson: Changed `custom_target()` to `i18n.merge_file()` for all
supported file types
* Added `.its` and `.loc` files for the GIMP-specific XML formats, so
that gettext understands them
* For the `.isl` (Window installer stuff) file, there's no easy way to
do this in gettext, so instead we start from an XML file (again with
its own ITS rules etc), translate that with gettext, and then use
`xsltproc` with a bit of magic to output the .isl file for each
language
* the `po*/Makefile.in.in` files are migrated to `Makevars` files,
which gettext natively understands.

See the commit 28467cb on the gimp-data-extras repo where I moved this
data in. Not sure why this metadata file was ever pushed to the main
repo as it is obviously for the data-extras package (or else I am
missing some information!).

Before each release, we prepare now a <release> tag. Unfortunately some
details are not always well known for sure in advance, in particular the
date of release (plans are made to be broken!), and also the release
news URL (since the date is in the URL). So I usually leave them as TODO
and until now, I never forgot to update them just before release. But
there is always the risk of forgetting.
Now the test for the appdata files will also look for remaining "TODO"
in the file if and only if the micro version is even (which means it's a
release). So we won't ever forget to update the file as long as we run
`make check` on the last commit (which we always do obviously).
The first validation command was actually failing but the test was not,
because only the last return value is taken into account, obviously. Add
a '&&' between the commands.
Also test against the built files, not the templates (in particular
because `appstream-util` doesn't like .in.in templates, and anyway it's
always better to test against the finale file).
Finally move to "validate-relax" test for the time being.
"validate-strict" actually makes a bunch of errors, but I can't make the
time to look at these now. Let's just settle with basic validation at
least.
I completely forgot to rename the appstream file according to the new
ID. While doing so, I also make it a .in.in file, with initial
processing by the autotools. Indeed I need @GIMP_COMMAND@ to be replaced
by AC_CONFIG_FILES().
Finally I fix a badly closed XML tag (which reminds me I should always
test a commit, even when it's a simple non-C 1-liner change!).
To have the name and summary translatable, rename as .in file, add
underscore on localizable tags and add to POTFILES.in.
Also clean out trailing whitespace and weird characters, add indentation
and fix tag s/updatecontact/update_contact/.
Finally add an appstream-util validation so that the file syntax is
checked during a `make check`.
This way we can be warned quickly about any AppStream issue (cf. bug
782759). This test requires web access for screenshot verification.
Packagers are invited to use --without-appdata-test option if they want
to skip the test (for instance if build environment has restricted
network access).
Rather than just discovering them by chance, a simple grep and some
search and replace are much more efficient! :-)
Cleaning only done on C and automake files.

toplevel icon theme directory as required by the spec.

by passing --without-desktop-dir.
2005-06-16 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
Redid the framework that deals with installing desktop files.
Fixes bug #307705:
* data/misc/*: removed.
* desktop/*: readded the desktop files in a new directory.
* Makefile.am
* configure.in
* data/Makefile.am: changed accordingly.
