I had assumed you would package even release candidates so they can be tested in the distro.

The final release is the last release candidate, Etoys 5.0.2406. I failed to send a separate notice for that, sorry.

Okay. I didn't want to bug you immediately, and after a while forgot.

I did send the release announcement on March 30th, so that should have been fine for the F17 beta.

Would a symlink be acceptable? This would make it easier for Etoys to find the right system folder.

	/usr/share/etoys/locale -> ../../locale

	(would resolve to /usr/share/locale)

If we prefix all Etoys .mo files then they could be installed to the system folder.
