[fetchmail-devel] translations for message catalogs, info and inquiry

[Matthias A. <ma...@dt...>]

Hi,

I have recently joined the de...@li... translation team and negotiated a
cold but welcome takeover of the de.po file.

While we're getting 6.2.6 ready for shipping, we need to tell the
translation project some bits of information:

- who the maintainer is and where we want updated .po files sent by the
  translation project (the .po files contain the translations)
  and where distribution tarballs can be downloaded. The current record
  that they have is:

|  <domain>fetchmail
|  <mailto>es...@th...
|  <keep>6.0.0<keep>6.1.3<keep>6.2.0<keep>6.2.3<keep>6.2.4
|  <autosend>
|  <url>http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.2.5.tar.gz
|  <ext>cs<ext>pt_BR

  <ext> means that ESR is getting the cs and pt_BR translations directly
  from the maintainers, not via the translation project, so we should
  probably Cc: these maintainers when sending the .pot file and making
  them aware of the new location of the site and maintainer and
  everything. See also: 
  http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/maintainers.html

  Do we want to have this mailing list listed as the "mailto" and
  the place where the .po files be sent? We'll need to allow the bot's
  address to the list, apparently it's either gnutra@ or translation@
  iro.umontreal.ca.

- the current 6.2.6 .pot file
  (which contains the untranslated original messages)

  NOTICE #1: this is actually the URL for a .pot file that we're telling
  them.

  NOTICE #2: we cannot send multiple .pot files with one and the same
  version number, we'll need distinct version numbers if we plan to
  revise the code. We can use 6.2.5.99.1 for a release candidate and
  then perhaps bump to 6.2.6 if we haven't made message changes later.

  I'll handle this when we're sure about how 6.2.6 will finally look like.
