Subject: newt: Please generate a POT file during package build

Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 08:18:24 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: newt
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please generate a POT file during the package build. This is a
template file that is used as a basis for translating this software
into other languages. It is important that the POT file is always up
to date and exactly matches all the strings (including strings from
Debian-specific changes), so it is not enough to just put a static one
into the package. Apart from being used manually, this POT file can
also be extracted automatically and be used with translation
frontends like gtranslator or Rosetta.

You can get the patch at

  http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/newt.potfile.diff

Thanks for considering and have a nice day!

Martin

Ok, will do.
Please note that there newt depends on slang, which is undergoing a
transition to slang2; hence the next (few?) releases of newt will be in
experimental as the slang2 transition is tested.

Please see http://wiki.debian.net/?EtchSlang2upgrade for details.
I'm planning on having the slang2 upgrade complete by August for
inclusion in the next Ubuntu release :-)

You also might need to get in touch with the d-i team as weel to let
us know about these plans in details as, IIRC, we have a slang udeb
which is used somewhere in d-i first stage (not sure about this...this
is not the part I know the best in d-i).

*this* also has consequences for Ubuntu, of course..:-)
