Building "make distcheck", I saw this go by:
/usr/bin/xgettext: warning: The option --msgid-bugs-address was not specified.
If you are using a `Makevars' file, please specify
the MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS variable there; otherwise please
specify an --msgid-bugs-address command line option.
Here's the part of Makevars where that's defined:
# This is the email address or URL to which the translators shall report
# bugs in the untranslated strings:
# - Strings which are not entire sentences, see the maintainer guidelines
# in the GNU gettext documentation, section 'Preparing Strings'.
# - Strings which use unclear terms or require additional context to be
# understood.
# - Strings which make invalid assumptions about notation of date, time or
# money.
# - Pluralisation problems.
# - Incorrect English spelling.
# - Incorrect formatting.
# It can be your email address, or a mailing list address where translators
# can write to without being subscribed, or the URL of a web page through
# which the translators can contact you.
MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS = http://translate.fedoraproject.org/
I figure it's better to point people at the Fedora Translation pages
than at libvirt's mailing list.
I had to propagate this into libvirt.pot as well to avoid
a "make distcheck" failure when update-po would try to move
the just-changed libvirt.po onto a read-only libvirt.pot file
because of the differing Report-Msgid-Bugs-To line.
