SYNOPSIS
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 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>@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.
