| paul@666 | 5 The first SliTaz installer was built using ncurses Dialog within a SHell script. |
| paul@666 | 6 It was the last SliTaz home made tool that didn't have a desktop integrated |
| paul@725 | 7 interface and had some crappy code as it was written at the start of the |
| domcox@655 | 8 project. |
| pankso@592 | 9 |
| domcox@655 | 10 Tazinst is the new installer written entirely in SHell script and usable from |
| paul@593 | 11 the cmdline without dialog or any other gui-like interface! This new installer |
| domcox@655 | 12 is able to perform an installation automatically based on a simple config file |
| domcox@655 | 13 with clear variables such as: INST_TYPE="iso", TGT_PARTITION="/dev/hda1". |
| pankso@592 | 14 |
| paul@666 | 15 With this way, it allows developers to create a different kind of frontend: |
| domcox@655 | 16 Dialog, GTK and CGI/web in TazPanel. The frontend just has to create a config |
| domcox@665 | 17 file and start the cmdline installer and report steps in a nice way (progress |
| domcox@655 | 18 bar or/and messages). |

| domcox@655 | 22 ---- |
| domcox@655 | 23 Tazinst has been coded from the beginning with gettext support. Please |
| domcox@655 | 24 forget 'echo' and use gettext, but remember that gettext "" is equivalent |
| domcox@655 | 25 to echo -n. All scripts use the same TEXTDOMAIN and the same pot files, all |
| domcox@655 | 26 translations go in the po/ folder. |
| domcox@655 | 27 |
| domcox@655 | 28 To start a new translation please use msginit from the pot file directory. |
| domcox@655 | 29 Example for French/France locale (fr_FR): |
| domcox@655 | 30 |
| domcox@658 | 31 $ msginit -l fr_FR -o fr.po -i tazinst.pot |
| domcox@655 | 32 |
| domcox@655 | 33 To update all translations from a newly updated pot file: |
| domcox@655 | 34 |
| domcox@655 | 35 $ make msgmerge |
| domcox@658 | 36 Or: |
| domcox@658 | 37 $ msgmerge -U fr.po tazinst.pot |
