Package: po4a Version: 0.58.1-1 Severity: important Control: affects -1 src:aptitude Control: block 960865 by -1
Dear Martin, previously when building aptitude's documentation, it sufficed to declare [po_directory] po4a/po in doc/po4a/po4a.cfg and then calling from the out-of-tree build directory in e.g. "build/doc/de/" /usr/bin/po4a --translate-only=de/manpage.xml --srcdir=../../../doc --destdir=../../doc ../../../doc/po4a/po4a.cfg but since recently, this fails with the IMHO not very helpful error message: ../../../doc/po4a/po4a.cfg:1: no PO files found in po4a/po See https://bugs.debian.org/960865. The following change to doc/po4a/po4a.cfg fixes this: -[po_directory] po4a/po +[po_directory] ../../../doc/po4a/po But this hardcoding of the relative path to the directory given with --srcdir IMHO contradicts what is written in the man page: --srcdir SRCDIR Set the base directory for all input documents specified in the po4a configuration file. If both destdir and srcdir are specified, input files are searched in the following directories, in order: destdir, srcdir and the current directory. Output files are written to destdir if specified, or to the current directory. Is there a chance that it has been forgotten to also check for the po_directory under the directory given by --srcdir? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages po4a depends on: ii gettext 0.19.8.1-10 ii libsgmls-perl 1.03ii-36 ii libyaml-tiny-perl 1.73-1 ii opensp 1.5.2-13+b1 ii perl 5.30.0-10 Versions of packages po4a recommends: ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.07-4 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-1+b1 ii libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-9 ii libunicode-linebreak-perl 0.0.20190101-1+b2 po4a suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
