Could not find my original notes, but the idea is roughly as follows: - introduce a separate (user only?) library - say libmesa-config.so - ^^ provides an API to query/set attributes, via numerical tokens - any localisation is built on top of ^^ as standalone files Reasoning: - library reused by anyone to make a pretty config tool in their toolkit and/or language - numerical tokens are trivial to handle and cheap - can be binned/deprecated easily - translation lives outside of the driver - the driver doesn't care about it, so don't bloat - translators do not need access to mesa - one less hurdle/obstacle Hope it makes sense, not sure if coffee has kicked in fully ;-) -Emil _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
