Re: [Po4a-devel] Bug#827936: po4a: please implement support for Ruby document format
Hello,
the truth is that the development of po4a is kinda stopped since a few
years. We do the basic maintainance, like reviewing and applying
proposed patches (with some delays), but I don't manage to devote any
time to the new wanted features myself. I'm sorry about that, but this
is a fact.
As a result, I think that you should develop this module yourself. I
understand that Perl will make your brain burn as a Ruby programmer,
but at the end, developping a new module for po4a is very easy. And I
can guide you in this process if you go that way.
Check the doc on writing a new module, here:
man Locale::Po4a::TransTractor
I think that this is a good idea to keep both the upstream list and
the debian bug in CC while discussing it. It will ensure both a good
diffusion and a good archiving of the discussions.
Good luck, Mt.

Hello and thanks for developing po4a.
As discussed on the po4a-devel mailing list [1], it would be great
if po4a supported the Ruby document format [2].

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Document_format
Could you please implement support for it in an appropriate module,
so that I could, for instance, do something like:
$ po4a-gettextize -f rd -m apt-listbugs -p doc-apt-listbugs.pot
The Ruby document format is processed by package rdtool (among other
possible tools) and is described in its documentation [3].

I hope implementing this additional module is not too hard.
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot for your time!
Bye.
