po4a, including the new po4a-build script, has been released and po4a
(0.37.0-1) has been uploaded to Debian. This release also includes a
fully updated Spanish translation, including the new po4a-build
documentation, thanks to Omar Campagne.
po4a-build will be used as a build-dependency by emdebian-rootfs and
svn-buildpackage (both due to be released in a couple of days). Feel
free to try it out with any package that builds translated
documentation, *especially* if it also builds binary gettext
translations of program output without using autotools, e.g. perl
scripts using $(MAKE) but not ./configure.
This should be a useful step in encouraging more packages to translate
their script output and manpages. It is trivial to add translation to
packages using the full autotools|intltool setup, now po4a-build brings
the same level of ease to packages only using $(MAKE). (If someone
wants to investigate how CMake can do the same, let me know.)
