Package: po4a
Version: 0.35-1
Severity: normal
I am testing experimental 0.35-1 now :-)
Let me present what has happened and my thought. Here we go....
I have:
| <bookinfo>
| <title>Debian Reference</title>
| <authorgroup>
| <author>
| <firstname>Osamu</firstname>
| <surname>Aoki</surname>
| </author>
|
| </authorgroup>
|
| <abstract>
|<xi:include href="abstract.en.xml"/>
| </abstract>
|
| <copyright>
| <year>2007-2009</year>
| <holder>Osamu Aoki</holder>
| </copyright>
| <legalnotice>
|
|<xi:include href="copy.en.xml"/>
|
| </legalnotice>
| </bookinfo>
Then the PO file with lenny version 0.34-2 was:
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><title>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:20
|msgid "Debian Reference"
|msgstr "Debianレファレンス"
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><copyright><holder>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:35
|msgid "Osamu Aoki"
|msgstr "青木 修 (Osamu Aoki)"
I see no translation for tags inside <author> .
As for copyright, I see only <holder> as po.
Since current local build script seems not to use <authorgroup> section
for html generation, this was fine.
I have insytalled 0.35-1 and run po4a-updatepo. It created:
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><title>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:20
|msgid "Debian Reference"
|msgstr "Debianレファレンス"
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><copyright><holder>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:23
|#, fuzzy
|#| msgid "Osamu Aoki"
|msgid "Osamu"
|msgstr "青木 修 (Osamu Aoki)"
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><authorgroup><author><surname>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:24
|msgid "Aoki"
|msgstr ""
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:33
|msgid ""
|"<copyright> <year>2007-2009</year> <holder>Osamu Aoki</holder> </copyright>"
|msgstr ""
It seems to me that
* <authorgroup> section is correctly split into strings down to
* <surname> <firstname> <holder> tag is correctly treated as inline
* within <authorgroup> commented line with --previous option has funny
"# type: ...." line with wrong tag with respect to the latest
original file while line number is correct.
I think po4a moving string due to new split scheme is right action but
comments needs to reflect it and to be understandable one. If
--previous holds old information under "#|" line, I think po4a-updatepo
should have created something along:
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><title>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:20
|msgid "Debian Reference"
|msgstr "Debianレファレンス"
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><authorgroup><author><firstname>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:23
|#, fuzzy
|#| type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><copyright><holder>
|#|: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:35
|#| msgid "Osamu Aoki"
|msgid "Osamu"
|msgstr "青木 修 (Osamu Aoki)"
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo><authorgroup><author><surname>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:24
|msgid "Aoki"
|msgstr ""
|
|# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo>
|#: ../en/debian-reference.en.xml:33
|msgid ""
|"<copyright> <year>2007-2009</year> <holder>Osamu Aoki</holder> </copyright>"
|msgstr ""
I hope you get my point. This should help user locate which string po4a
is converting.
Please note all quoted text are lead by "|".
As for practical build impact, there is no damage. I just need to
update po for "# type: Content of: <book><bookinfo>". But this is
somehow basic issue with po4a-updatepo handling of string move, I am
reporting as bug.

It was not possible in current po4a to introduce context.
Introducing context would also increase a lot the complexity for users.
If context were to be supported, I would propose to generate multiple PO
files, and merge them using contexts.

This was done in version 0.36.
