In the dpkg--man-po--1.13 branch of my Arch archive, you will find the current result of the work of Philippe Batailler and Eric Madesclair to switch the man pages of dpkg to PO format.
The C directory contains the original man pages. Other directories contain PO files for each man page translation work. These PO fils need checking by all translation teams as strings are marked "fuzzy" most of the time (logical consequence of the switch). In each directory, a Makefile allows the generation of localized man pages and the update of the PO files if original man pages are changed. The Makefiles probably need to be adapted to the general build process of dpkg, but I think this is the most achieved version that we can have. Scott, if you decide applying this, I propose to handle the calls for translation updates. Just keep me posted...or we discuss this at Debconf..:-) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
