I do miss in the above script the check on .po files that do not have a
counterpart .pot file. In which case the .po file should be deleted.
Currently I have in each lcn and webyast 3 of these .po files.

Perhaps it existed in the original script. Anyway, I prefer deleting those
manually, once I know
they really have to be deleted. Notice that you have to delete the file in svn,
or you will get it
back on next "svn up".


I assumed that by checking the POT-Creation-Date
in the .pot and the corresponding .po file would give me an indication
whether to use msgmerge or leave things alone. However I found .pot
files without a POT-Creation-Date line.

I do a merge when I see the warning in "vertal". Another hint can be taken
from the catalog tool kbabel uses, comparing the number of messages in the
pot and po files.

I have no idea what "vertal" is.

The collaboration/coordination tool some of the teams use, made by Gabriel.
<http://www.vertaal.com.ar/>

If there is a discrepancy between pot and po, pushing a button gets it done.

Some things need manual interaction, I think.

I am only confronted with the above discrepancies since opensuse-i18n moved
to
berlios.

Just luck. I have seen them earlier.


The argument that a user might be working on a file that get automatically
updated is not very strong.

It has happened to me, more than once.

It probably only need good communication of the
time such an automatic update will be done. In the KDE project this is done
automatically and one knows that the robot "scripty" is doing its work around
a certain time, for me during the night. So I only need to commit my changes
before I go to bed.

"The night" has a different meaning for different people - time zones, you know
:-p
Some people work during the night.
Me, I work away from network, so I can't get any "emergency" communication till
many hours past.

If there is any automatic or manual change I have to override it later with my
own version, and then
try to redo whatever change the robot or whoever did.
