description
This program
reads po/POTFILES.in to determine which master files
need to be processed, then extracts new gettext strings into
po/templates.pot and updates all po/*.po
files. This script can be called either in the top-level
directory, or in the debian or debian/po
subdirectories. It is run by developer and/or translator to
update PO files when the English text is
modified in templates files.
options
-h,
--help
Display a usage summary and
exit.
-v,
--verbose
Process in verbose mode.
--podir=
DIR
Set directory for
PO files. By default PO files
are searched in debian/po, po and ../po
directories in that order.
--skip-pot
Do not generate a new
po/templates.pot file.
--skip-merge
Do not merge existing
PO files with po/templates.pot.
--msgid-bugs-address=
EMAIL
Set the email address that will
be specified in the POT ’s
Report-Msgid-Bugs-To field.
By default,
this field is set to <package>[:at:]package.debian[:dot:]org.
It is intended
for the maintainers of Debian based distributions, and
should be used in the following cases:
o
The package is not present in Debian (and thus the
<package>[:at:]packages.debian[:dot:]org address does not
exist).
o
The maintainer made significant changes in the debconf
templates (or added templates to a Debian package without
templates), and does not want to bother the Debian
maintainer with bug reports that won’t be relevant for
the Debian maintainer.
The default
address is preferred to avoid corrections in the Debian
based distribution without a notification to the Debian
maintainer.
