Description Asgeir Frimannsson 2008-09-24 01:09:07 UTC

Description of problem:

From a quick look at s-c-services it seems that ./po/POTFILES.in is not used in the process of generating POTs, and that the Makefile uses a 'dynamic' way of specifying the files for xgettext.

However, having a POTFILES.in file means that the translation statistics system (translate.fedoraproject.org) uses intltool to try to generate the POT from the files specified in POTFILES.in. This breaks as POTFILES.in is not up-to-date.

If POTFILES.in is redundant, could it be deleted from the repository, so that we can provide translators with statistics for this module, as well as allow them to download PO files for translations through the web interface?

I've removed the file in the upstream repository.
