Package: po4a
Version: 0.62-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I use po4a for the packaging-tutorial package.
Until po4a 0.57, the name of the master filename written to the .pot file was
relative.
Since po4a 0.58, it is absolute.
This is a problem for at least two reasons:
- if someone else runs po4a, it will generate a useless difference
- it leaks info about the developer's system
For example, here is a diff:
#. type: Plain text
-#: packaging-tutorial.tex:4
+#: /home/lucas/d/debian/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial.tex:4
msgid "\\mode<presentation> \\usetheme{debian}"
msgstr "\\mode<presentation> \\usetheme{debian}"
To reproduce:
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/packaging-tutorial.git
po4a po4a/po4a.cfg --verbose -f
grep packaging-tutorial po4a/po/packaging-tutorial.pot
I git bisected it in the upstream sources, and the commit that
introduced the change 8f8044df1c10a778c3534365d94bd022202b1832
