Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.9-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

Robert (X-D-CCed) proposed some improvements in the tbl handling of po4a
that should improve the translation process of procps manpages (as
currently pushed upstream IIUC) in #748601.

While checking the changes (since we are already handling the French
translation of procps manpages inside the manpages-fr-extra package), I
noticed an annoying side effect: the slabtop(1) “NAME” is merged with
the header among the “SORT CRITERIA” table.

An easy workaround I just committed in manpages-fr-extra is to add an
invisible zero-width break point to the second “NAME”, please find it
attached. I believe it will make sense to include it upstream if this
manpage is to be offered to other translators.

Regards

David

Subject: [PATCH] procps: Add a zero-width break point in slabtop.1

It allows to distinguish the initial NAME (to be translated) with the
latter one (that must not be translated) and thus permits to handle its
translation differently.
