Hi Stefan, I don't really understand the way PO stuff is supposed to work, but I often get the problem that my git tree gets changed during an out of tree build, causing the po subdirectory to be dirtied.
I think this is due to the rule: $(PO_PATH)/%.po: $(PO_PATH)/messages.po $(call quiet-command, msgmerge -q $@ $< > $@.bak && mv $@.bak $@, " GEN $@") in po/Makefile. Why does that merge into $(PO_PATH)/%.po rather than %.po - i.e. why to the source rather than to the build directory? Dave -- Dr. David Alan Gilbert / dgilb...@redhat.com / Manchester, UK
