What name should it take? (Common, Utils, Tools, > ...?) I've begun working on it (with the temporary name "Common"). While moving common parts of the scripts to this module, I've found an undocumented option in the po4a script: split. What does it do? It adds a big amount of code. Should it be documented or is it there just for testing? hmm, I'm now thinking on posponing these big moves and concentrating in the gcc-like syntax/wrapping stuff. Regards, Jordi Vilalta

[Po4a-devel]Release status

by Nicolas François

Hi, I think po4a is in a releasable state. I'm not sure about how to add the LaTeX and TeX modules (only add them in the MANIFEST?). If somebody can do this, it would be nice. However, it could be nice to plan a 20.1 to fix some non blocking issue: * the with-{hyphen_to_minus,non_breaking_spaces} options (Man module) is a bogus fix. see thread "po4a/t 02-TransTractors.t,1.8,1.9" * there are some martin.quinson(a)tuxfamily.org email address in the source (I don't know if Martin wants to change them) * there were no string freeze before this release, and there were some string change recently. * the LaTeX module may have nasty bugs not found during testing. * Danilo raised an issue regarding the wrapping It may be a little late to send this status, but if you have any comment, please send it. Martin wanted to release tomorrow. -- Nekral

[Po4a-devel]Local installation fails due to hard-coded paths

by Danilo Piazzalunga

Hello, Build.PL contains hard-coded paths to '/usr/share/man' and '/usr/share/locale'. These prevent a local installation and affect the usage of the destdir option. Example: $ ./Build install destdir=/tmp Installing /tmp/usr/local/man/man1/po4a-normalize.1p [...] Installing /tmp/usr/local/man/man3/Locale::Po4a::Po.3pm Installing /tmp/usr/share/man/ca/man1/po4a-updatepo.1p.gz [...] Installing /tmp/usr/share/man/it/man3/Locale::Po4a::Common.3pm.gz Installing /tmp/usr/share/man/man7/po4a.7.gz Installing /tmp/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/po4a.mo Installing /tmp/usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/po4a.mo Installing /tmp/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/po4a.mo Installing /tmp/usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/po4a.mo Installing /tmp/usr/local/bin/po4a [...] Cheers, Danilo

[Po4a-devel]Over-wrapping po4a progress output

by Danilo Piazzalunga

Hello again, I'd like to express a little wish about the new auto-wrapped output of the scripts. While it is really *great* for error reporting, it may be a little "ugly" for normal progress output, because the text is unconditionally wrapped at column 80, regardless of the terminal size. If running 'po4a' on many files, parsing and/or grepping its output becomes difficult because of the "noisy" wrapped text. Thanks for your time, Danilo P.S: I didn't file a bug because I'm not sure whether this is already in the Debian package

[Po4a-devel]Re: [Po4a-commits] po4a/t 02-TransTractors.t,1.8,1.9

I quickly read previous messages but did not realize that this change was needed. Adding "\\ " is much less natural than a non breaking space (at least for those who are used to write this glyph), so can you please explain why this conversion was troublesome? Denis

[Po4a-devel]Non breaking spaces in man pages

by Jordi Vilalta

Hi, I was just gettextizing some man pages and I've noticed a problem when trying to mix several po files: $ msgcat *.po file1.po:19:10: invalid multibyte sequence msgcat: found 1 fatal error I've found that there was a strange character in that position, and it seems it's the equivalent of man page's "\ ". What's its meaning? Why is it handled with this strange byte? It seems we're generating non-compliant po files :S Regards, Jordi Vilalta

[Po4a-devel]Encoding issue

by Nicolas François

Hello, I'm experiencing some encoding issues with po4a: I'm using a latin1 man page (this is just in order to reproduce the issue, in fact the issue was encountered with LaTeX). I need to specify the encoding of the master document (-M ISO-8859-1). The generated PO file (with po4a-normalize, or po4a-gettextize) indicate an utf-8 charset. File indicates that the po file is an UTF-8 Unicode PO But the encoding of strings is not good: instead of the Unicode 00E9 (é, encoded as C3A9 in UTF-8), I've got an Unicode 00C3 followed by and Unicode 00A9 (respectively encoded as C383 and C2A9) Do you have an idea where it could come from? -- Nekral

Re: [Po4a-devel]Over-wrapping po4a progress output

by Nicolas François

Hello, Sorry if I'm breaking the thread, I'm no more receiving mails. For the "terminal size" issue, maybe we can use the COLUMN environment variable (the user will have to export it), or the libterm-readkey-perl module. PS: I will be on irc (Freenode), #po4a this week-end. -- Nekral

[Po4a-devel]Test for escaped tabs and newlines in man pages

by Danilo Piazzalunga

Hi all, I would like to add a test the handling of a "line continuation" in verbatim sections and of <\><TAB> sequences in man pages. The handling of these sequences was fixed in 0.19.2, and the test would ensure that no regressions would happen. I will wait for approval before committing. Danilo
