Package: po4a Version: 0.47-2 Severity: wishlist For ASCII-only base text, when generating POT file with po4a-gettextize, resulting POT file has invalid
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
Even when iy is specifically called with "-M utf-8".
This doesn't happen if English text has non-ascii sequence.
If called with "-M utf-8", even for ASCII only upstream text, this
should be:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
Here is the use case causing trouble:
| po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 --format docbook -m test-ascii.xml | grep charset
| "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
| po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 --format docbook -m test-ascii.xml | msgcat
--no-location -o test-ascii.pot -
| <stdin>: warning: Charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name.
| Message conversion to user's charset might not work.
| msgcat: present charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name
| Makefile:4: recipe for target 'test-ascii.pot' failed
| make: [test-ascii.pot] Error 1 (ignored)
| po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 --format docbook -m test-utf8.xml | grep charset
| "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
| po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 --format docbook -m test-utf8.xml | msgcat
--no-location -o test-utf8.pot -
Test code is attached.
As I read po4a-gettextize line after 236
| # Parse master file forcing conversion to utf if it's not in ascii
| foreach my $file (@masterfile) {
| $mastertt->read($file);
| }
| $mastertt->{TT}{utf_mode} = 1;
| if ($mastertt->{TT}{ascii_input}) {
| $mastertt->detected_charset('ascii');
| } elsif (defined($mastchar)) {
| $mastertt->detected_charset($mastchar);
| $mastertt->{TT}{po_in}->set_charset($mastchar);
| }
| $mastertt->parse;
This is suspicious.
At least when "-M utf-8" is specified (I guess if $master == 'utf-8', it
should do something like
| $mastertt->detected_charset('utf-8');
| $mastertt->{TT}{po_in}->set_charset('utf-8');
even for ASCII case. ASCII is UTF-8!
