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

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

Package: whois
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/whois.potfile.diff

Thanks for considering and have a nice day!

Martin

You are not forced to rebuild it, but it is the easiest way to ensure
that it is always up to date. Right now it is not present at all, but
if you want to care for it manually, you can do that of course. :-)

Thanks, Martin
