NAME

6       debconf-updatepo - update PO files about debconf templates
7

SYNOPSIS

9       debconf-updatepo [-v] [-h] [--podir=DIR] [--skip-pot] [--skip-merge]
10       [--msgid-bugs-address=EMAIL]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This program reads po/POTFILES.in to determine which master files need
14       to be processed, then extracts new gettext strings into
15       po/templates.pot and updates all po/*.po files.  This script can be
16       called either in the top-level directory, or in the debian or debian/po
17       subdirectories.  It is run by developer and/or translator to update PO
18       files when the English text is modified in templates files.

OPTIONS

21       -h, --help
22           Display a usage summary and exit.
23
24       -v, --verbose
25           Process in verbose mode.
26
27       --podir=DIR
28           Set directory for PO files.  By default PO files are searched in
29           debian/po, po and ../po directories in that order.
30
31       --skip-pot
32           Do not generate a new po/templates.pot file.
33
34       --skip-merge
35           Do not merge existing PO files with po/templates.pot.
36
37       --msgid-bugs-address=EMAIL
38           Set the email address that will be specified in the POT's Report-
39           Msgid-Bugs-To field.
40
41           By default, this field is set to <package>@package.debian.org.
42
43           It is intended for the maintainers of Debian based distributions,
44           and should be used in the following cases:
45
46           o   The package is not present in Debian (and thus the
47               <package>@packages.debian.org address does not exist).
48
49           o   The maintainer made significant changes in the debconf
50               templates (or added templates to a Debian package without
51               templates), and does not want to bother the Debian maintainer
52               with bug reports that won't be relevant for the Debian
53               maintainer.
54
55           The default address is preferred to avoid corrections in the Debian
56           based distribution without a notification to the Debian maintainer.
