I'm strongly considering removing .mo files from cvs and the tar.gz file, possibly for Mailman 2.1.2.
From CVS, it's a Good Thing. I'm not sure about tar.gz's.
- The files can easily be created at build time, even if gettext doesn't exist. We have a pure-Python version of msgfmt
Is this msgfmt.py distributed in the tarball?
It would be. It comes verbatim from Python's Tools/i18n/msgfmt.py.
If yes, I guess it's ok. If no, I'd leave them in. If they are removed, they should probably be built by the normal "make all" rule without needing external tools (automake-made tarballs are like this).
They would definitely be built with "make all".
Thanks for the feedback. -Barry
