NAME
debconf-updatepo - update PO files about debconf templatesSYNOPSIS
debconf-updatepo [-v] [-h] [--podir=DIR
]
[--skip-pot]
[--skip-merge]
[--msgid-bugs-address=EMAIL
]
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 updatePO
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 POfiles. By defaultPOfiles 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 POfiles 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>@package.debian.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>@packages.debian.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.
