Hi Phillipp,
: Basically OK. But please check if they really need to be mentioned in
: POTFILES.in. IMO not every file needs to be listed. IMO there are only three
: reasons why this should be done:
:
: - they do contain translatable messages.
: - they contain functions doing output and thus have a parameter
: called msgid (the exgettext script needs to see them).
: - contain messages that should not be translated like debugging routines
: or code that is part of the gen* tools. Like the ones you add
: commented out.
:
: It's easier to just add new files to the list, but why process files that
: don't need to be? So I'd say it would be better to really check the files
: before listing them in POTFILES.in.
Why worry about the amount of time spent processing unnecessary files?
It surely isn't that long. Plus it far simpler to just compare the
list of files in the gcc directory against the list in POTFILES.in and
see which are missing.
Cheers
Nick
