Re: Using AS_ALL_LINGUAS instead of po/LINGUAS
Hi; -1 from me; I don't see any advantage here. With the current scheme, we have po/LINGUAS which is disted automagically. With your scheme, we need po/LINGUAS.ignore (which you have to dist manually). Also, if you add a new po/xx.po file, configure isn't re-run automatically so the new entry isn't added to ALL_LINGUAS. This works with the current po/LINGUAS file (since inltool's Makefile.in.in evaluates the LINGUAS file at build time, not configure time).

Might be possible to inject some rules... or we propose this as an option for intltool. The use-case for this was that with transifex the translators translate and submit .po files, but LINGUAS is never touched. Obviously this often leads to tarballs shipping with lots of translations that are disabled...

I have 4 lines in shared-mime-info's Makefile.am to check for missing translations on "check". And those rules would only really be useful for modules that use transifex... ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
