I haven't had time to look at this, and probably won't for several days. I like that Mailman's current tool chain works on my fairly stock, ancient RH6.1-ish system, but it also is fairly unweildy <wink>. If the new version of gettext will make /your/ lives easier, I'm happy to upgrade the Makefiles and such to rely on it. Comments are welcome. -Barry
The only thing that would make my life easier, is using -w 100 (or, at least, 90) while merging the catalogues. Some messages in the code hit the 79-80 limit, and as there should be '\n' after that, the line got splitted. It make the reading of the file a bit less comfortable. :)) Besides, it's fine. -- Misha On Wed, Mar 13, 2002 at 09:25:33AM -0500, Barry A. Warsaw wrote: Content-Description: message body text

I think the only need to change the tools may occur with the Chinese catalogs, as there are some compatibility issues with escape characters - newer tools may reject older catalogs. I don't know whether this is an issue for the current mailman CVS. Also, the newer msgfmt catches a few additional errors. Apart from that, I don't think there is any need to update gettext.

I also think the way I merge the .pot file into the .po files is fairly kludgey. So that might make it worthwhile. -Barry
