11
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.
19
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.
