debconf-updatepo(1)
NAME
debconf-updatepo - update PO files about debconf templates
SYNOPSIS
debconf-updatepo [-v] [-h] [--podir=DDIIRR] [--skip-pot] [--skip-merge] [--msgid-bugs-address=EEMMAAIILL]
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=DDIIRR
- 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=EEMMAAIILL
- Set the email address that will be specified in the POT's ReportMsgid-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.
