--- Begin Message ---Package: po4a Version: 0.68-1 Severity: normal Hi, I am experiencing FTBFS on debian-reference and maint-guide If you want to deprecate po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo and force me to use po4a, that's sad but I understand your position. Maintenance of them may be burden for you. But can we do this with a bit more coordination and with transition period. I am facing problem with new 0.68-1 - Greatly improve the gettextization process - po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo are now deprecated: you should use po4a instead. Error I am facing is as follows: ---- po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 -L utf-8 --format docbook -m debian-reference.en.xmlt | \ sed -e 's,^"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\\n"$,"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\\n",' |\ msgcat --no-location -o po/templates.pot.new - You must provide the same amount of master files and localized files to synchronize them, as po4a-gettextize is intended to synchronize master files and previously existing translations. If just want to extract POT files of your master files, please use po4a-updatepo. Please note that the most convenient way of using po4a is to write a po4a.conf file and use the integrated po4a(1) program. if diff -I '^"POT-Creation-Date:' -q po/templates.pot po/templates.pot.new ; then \ echo "Don't update templates.pot" ;\ touch po/templates.pot ;\ rm -f po/templates.pot.new ;\ else \ echo "Update templates.pot" ;\ mv -f po/templates.pot.new po/templates.pot ;\ fi diff: po/templates.pot: No such file or directory diff: po/templates.pot.new: No such file or directory ---- template.pot is not generated by po4a-gettext any more I intensionally touch-up master file to reduce translation PO file size by placing "DUMMY" to certain master file contents used by po4a-gettextize. So those parts doesn't apear in po/pot and translator have easier time. In order to attain this, I directly use po4a-translate and po4a-updatepo from Makefile to get translated results with the full English file with reduced size PO. Please also realize that my Makefile also use opencc to translate missing translation msgstr in PO files supplimenting between zh_CN and zh_TW peacefully. po4a command has no way to do this either. Since this failure seems to be induced by the newly added sanity check to force us to migrate to use po4a, I am asking you to go slow on this migration. Can you just give us option to avoid this failure at least for the next release? Do you really force this sanity check now? I hope to come up with new build script using po4a. But unless that happens, debian-reference and maint-guide will be out of testing. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages po4a depends on: ii gettext 0.21-9 ii libpod-parser-perl 1.65-1 ii libsgmls-perl 1.03ii-37 ii libsyntax-keyword-try-perl 0.27-1 ii libyaml-tiny-perl 1.73-1 ii opensp 1.5.2-13+b2 ii perl 5.34.0-5 Versions of packages po4a recommends: ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.07-4+b2 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-2 ii libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-10 ii libunicode-linebreak-perl 0.0.20190101-1+b4 po4a suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Hi, Good to hear from you ;-) Let's close this bug. It was a problem since it happened without enough warning. At the same time, I seem to have been using some feature of program beyond the original intent. Now that I already figured out ways to work with the core feature, there is no need to add feature. Keep it simple. Otherwise, you can't keep it going. No need to add feature. Thanks for making this program alive. Regards, Osamu
