"How do you update your po files ("make update-po" or ./update.pl)?
update.pl
has some advantages. But update.pl has also a small bug. In rare cases
(double
msgid's etc.) update.pl kills your po-file. This can happen, if msgmerge
fails and if you have an old gettext version. The problem is here:
po/update.pl:149:
...
$d="mv $LANG.po $LANG.po.old && msgmerge $LANG.po.old $PACKAGE.pot
-o
+$LANG.po";
...
If msgmerge fails, the file $LANG.po will be overwritten. "make update-po"
has
not this problem, because it uses a temporary file:
...
if $(MSGMERGE) $$lang.po $(PACKAGE).pot -o $$lang.new.po; then \
mv -f $$lang.new.po $$lang.po; \
else \
echo "msgmerge for $$cat failed!"; \
rm -f $$lang.new.po; \
fi; \
...
I patched po/update.pl. Now it uses a temporary file. Also, update2.pl
lists
files in po/POTFILES.in which have no i18n strings as a warning." -- Bjoern
