Package: po4a
Version: 0.69-1
Severity: minor
some man pages we translate have the following:
.SH OPTIONS
.I Gawk
accepts the following options.
Standard options are listed first, followed by options for
.I gawk
extensions, listed alphabetically by short option.
.TP
.BI \-f " program-file\fR,\fP "\c
.BI \-\^\-file " program-file"
Read the \*(AK program source from the file
The "\c" causes the following (fatal) warning, i.e. no output:
Escape sequence \c encountered. This is not completely handled yet.
As a workaround I'm currently considering patching the source files "on
the fly" to get the build to proceed.
Until recently I was ignoring this message, because it implies that
just some detail is not properly handled; however I did not realize that
the build fails.
(This is now urgent as some man pages build for bullseye, but no
longer for bookworm, and once bullseye translations are gone, the
entire translation is gone - no good).
So there are two solutions:
a) Reword the message to clearly state that the build is aborted
b) Ignore the escape sequence (or properly handle it) change, i.e.
actually build the pot file
In this case, the warning might remain as is.
Obviously, I would prefer b) (and potentially a sane workaround until
then).
