! Further fixes to .po file handling functionality after real
life testing. What needs to be handled gracefully is that
it's perfectly normal that a file doesn't have a .pot
file generated (when the source doesn't have any translatable
texts). Unfortunately this situation adds some hard-to-detect
problems which can in turn cause .po translations to be lost.
Since the only current way to detect if translatable texts
exist is to check for the .pot file, if a .pot file is missing
for other reasons (manual deletion, corruption) hbmk will take
it normally and remove related translations from .po files.
I don't know what could be a good solution to this problem.
The other issue is scalability: Since there is no way to
update .po files with only partial .pot information (coming
from recompiled sources in that build session), each build
session has to do a full .pot merge and update (for all
languages). This is slow, if you have some idea how to make
this incremental, please speak up.
Probably we should reverse the logic and take the .po file
(containing translations) as a base, and add new pairs from
_available_ .pots. Pair removal (IOW cleanup) should be an
option, done periodically (before release), but not something
happening in each build session. This would also solve the problem
of retaining old translations, since they will stay there until
we specifically ask the system to remove them. Maybe that's
what we should do. Przemek, what do you think?
