It’s separate logic in the GUI only. > Is this invoked automatically anyway?

Or is the point of this bug to replace the GUI > tool's export function with dh_translations? No, this is not invoked automatically. The point of this bug report is to try and get Ubuntu SDK apps to work with dh_translations (according to dpm, this will be a requirement for inclusion of apps in main, which will be the case of system apps such as webbrowser-app). > We can certainly call above xgettext command in dh_translations if > we detect a project where this command is suitable.

System apps (such as the browser) currently don’t have a non-packaged upstream version. The trunk upstream branch contains the packaging information. I’ve briefly tried this approach with webbrowser-app, adding a custom "webbrowser-app.pot" target in po/CMakeLists.txt (which works when invoked manually), but dh_translations exits early in build_pot() (return unless -e 'po/Makefile'). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181183 Title: Add support for the Ubuntu SDK apps to dh_translations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgbinarymangler/+bug/1181183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
