Package: po4a
Version: 0.26-1
Severity: wishlist
Several commands could process stdin, here is a trivial patch.
Stdin could be used either for the master file or a PO file,
so a real solution requires a little bit more thinking.

Hello,
I don't think that passing - to process stdin is a good idea in po4a.
First of all, it uses two inputs, so the gain for the user would not
be really high, as the shell does not allow more than one stream of
input.
In addition, the master file name is used in the output, for the
references. One could say that this means that the requested feature
could still be useful for PO files, but I'm really unsure. I have the
feeling that using po4a is already difficult enough.
The final cut on this request is that we all forgot why this could be
useful since over a decade (no motivation was given in the original
report), so I think that we really can live without it.
Thanks for reporting -- I'm wondering where you are now, Denis ;)
Mt.
