rfc: macros/gnome-gettext.m4 change (fwd)

[ERDI Gergo <cactus cactus rulez org>]

I'm told I'm having better chances of getting a reply on these lists. Of
course, the real problem is that 'macros' has no clear owner or maintainer
(the README is so old, it mentions Martin).

Please CC replies to cactus cactus rulez org

I'm going to be persistent on this issue.

Would you like a Yes/No prompt? [y/N]?

Hi,

If you use xml-i18n-tools/intltools to mark files to translation that are
not registered in x-i18n-t itself, you have to include their type in
POTFILES.in, e.g.:

[type: gettext/xml] target-defs/palm.guikachu-target.in

this is translated to

	../[type: gettext/xml] target-defs/palm.guikachu-target.in \

in POTFILES. This, of course, leads to po/Makefile barfing. You can hack
around this by removing the [] part yourself in the configure script, but
we could automate this by allowing me to check in a change to
gnome-gettext.m4 that changed the POTFILES-generating line (at the end of
the m4 file):

   sed -e "/^#/d" -e "/^\$/d" -e "s,.*, $posrcprefix& \\\\," -e "\$s/\(.*\) \\\\/\1/" 		\
        < $srcdir/po/POTFILES.in > po/POTFILES

to

   dnl Create POTFILES from POTFILES.in by including the full
   dnl relative path of each source file and removing inltools
   dnl markup

   changequote(,)
   sed -e "/^#/d" -e "/^\$/d"                   \
       -e "s,.*, $posrcprefix& \\\\,"           \
       -e "\$s/\(.*\) \\\\/\1/"                 \
       -e "s/\[.*\] *//"			\
        < $srcdir/po/POTFILES.in > po/POTFILES
   changequote([,])

As x-i18n-t gets more widespread, more and more independent projects will
want to use it for their own, unknown-to-x-i18n-t XML files, so I think
this change is worthwile to go in CVS.

Can I commit?

	Cactus
