Localize package daemon and solver

[humdinger]

This is hrev50931.

The dialog popping up when installing a package or if there are problems when installing a package, isn't yet localized. Attached is a patch for that as far as I've come (with a little help of AHelpfulYak)...

It's not completely working, I suspect the Jamfile for the solver isn't quite OK. Can I just invent a target and signature for the DoCatalogs?

I'll assign to PulkoMandy as our localization expert, but any help is welcome...

localization patch

For things to work:

• The library must have a MIME type. IIRC you can add it the usual way, with an rdef file. Example for libbe: ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/libbe_version.rdef , ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/Jamfile#n30
• The catalogs must match that MIME type.
• The locale stub must be linked into the library (you did this already).

And that should be enough. libbe is a special case, it uses a special "gSystemCatalog" (for example in BColorControl). I don't know if localization of shared libraries has been tested before outside of libbe case?

Thanks, pulkomandy. Not sure I got it right... see the updated patch.

Jamming the solver fails with:

../../../../generated/objects/haiku/x86_gcc2/release/kits/package/SolverProblem.o: In function `BPackageKit::BSolverProblem::ToString(void) const':
SolverProblem.cpp:(.text+0x454): undefined reference to `BLocaleRoster::GetCatalog(void)'

I don't see any changes to ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/package/Jamfile in your patch. This is where libpackage is linked, and where the rdef and locale stub should be added?

The rest of the 0002 patch was OK? I'm flying blind here... With the 0003 patch I now added "localestub" and the adding of the rdef also to src/kits/package/Jamfile. It does compile now, but I don't know if it's correct and actually works. If you want to, apply the patch and add any further changes yourself. Otherwise we may be doing a few more rounds, I fear. :)
