TDeb Specification
Chapter 9 - Lintian support

9.1 PO translations

• No source changes - The Tdeb packages should not add messages not related to a message of the original source package. How to check this? If there is a POT file, then it is possible to do the comparison with the gettext msg* tools. POT file will not be in the tdeb, only in the main source package. When a PO file is modified, lintian can get the POT file of the same directory from the source package.

• msgfmt warnings - Modification of upstream PO files should be avoided. A warning could be produced.

• File naming rules

• Location of PO files in the source package (+t1.diff.gz)

• Location of mo files in the binary packages (tdeb)

• Location of manpages in the binary packages (tdeb). (current check can be reused)

• Name of the manpages in the binary packages (tdeb). An english manpage shall remain, with the same name, in the original binary package.

9.2 TDeb maintainers

Rather than allow repeat uploads of the same change in multiple languages, coordinate builds of tdebs to make a single upload with as many changes as possible at one time. Translation-Maintainers: in debian/control and Localisation Assistants.
