Package: po4a
Version: 0.68-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I am experiencing FTBFS on debian-reference and maint-guide
If you want to deprecate po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo and force me
to use po4a, that's sad but I understand your position. Maintenance of
them may be burden for you. But can we do this with a bit more
coordination and with transition period.
I am facing problem with new 0.68-1
- Greatly improve the gettextization process
- po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo are now deprecated:
you should use po4a instead.
Error I am facing is as follows:
----
po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 -L utf-8 --format docbook -m debian-reference.en.xmlt
| \
sed -e 's,^"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\\n"$,"Content-Type:
text/plain; charset=UTF-8\\n",' |\
msgcat --no-location -o po/templates.pot.new -
You must provide the same amount of master files and localized files to
synchronize them, as po4a-gettextize is intended to synchronize master files
and previously existing translations. If just want to extract POT files of your
master files, please use po4a-updatepo. Please note that the most convenient
way of using po4a is to write a po4a.conf file and use the integrated po4a(1)
program.
if diff -I '^"POT-Creation-Date:' -q po/templates.pot po/templates.pot.new ;
then \
echo "Don't update templates.pot" ;\
touch po/templates.pot ;\
rm -f po/templates.pot.new ;\
else \
echo "Update templates.pot" ;\
mv -f po/templates.pot.new po/templates.pot ;\
fi
diff: po/templates.pot: No such file or directory
diff: po/templates.pot.new: No such file or directory
----
template.pot is not generated by po4a-gettext any more
I intensionally touch-up master file to reduce translation PO file size
by placing "DUMMY" to certain master file contents used by
po4a-gettextize. So those parts doesn't apear in po/pot and translator
have easier time. In order to attain this, I directly use
po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo from Makefile to get translated results
with the full English file with reduced size PO.
Please also realize that my Makefile also use opencc to translate
missing translation msgstr in PO files supplimenting between zh_CN and
zh_TW peacefully. po4a command has no way to do this either.
Since this failure seems to be induced by the newly added sanity check
to force us to migrate to use po4a, I am asking you to go slow on this
migration. Can you just give us option to avoid this failure at least
for the next release? Do you really force this sanity check now?
I hope to come up with new build script using po4a. But unless that
happens, debian-reference and maint-guide will be out of testing.
