I am vaguely worried about interrupted "make" invocations. Don't gettextized packages typically do something like this? remove_creation_date() { sed '#!/bin/sed -f /^"POT-Creation-Date: .*"$/!b x # Test if the hold space is empty. s/P/P/ ta # Yes it was empty. First occurrence. Remove the line. g d bb :a # The hold space was nonempty. Following occurrences. Do nothing. x :b' } (cd po && xgettext --default-domain=git ...) set -e; \ if test -f po/git.pot && remove_creation_date <po/git.pot >po/git.1po+ && remove_creation_date <po/git.po >po/git.2po+ && cmp po/git.1po+ po/git.2po+; \ then \ rm -f po/git.1po+ po/git.2po+ po/git.po; \ else \ rm -f po/git.1po+ po/git.2po+ po/git.pot; \ mv po/git.po po/git.pot; \ fi > The -o for the C compiler changes, but the > "make pot" target will always write to po/git.pot. In particular, to avoid using a partial .pot file, one might want to write to po/git.pot+, po/git.po, or similar and then rename it. > Or: git://github.com/avar/git.git gettextize-git-mainporcelain-v3 Looks good. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
