debconf-updatepo(1)


NAME

   debconf-updatepo - update PO files about debconf templates

SYNOPSIS

   debconf-updatepo [-v] [-h] [--podir=DIR] [--skip-pot] [--skip-merge]
   [--msgid-bugs-address=EMAIL]

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=DIR
       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=EMAIL
       Set the email address that will be specified in the POT's Report-
       Msgid-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.
