From 4beba1cd62d7f8f7a6f1e899b68292d94c53b599 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lasse Collin Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 21:10:33 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] po4a/update-po: Disable wrapping in .pot and .po files The .po files from the Translation Project come with unwrapped strings so this matches it. This may reduce the noise in diffs too. When the beginning of a paragraph had changed, the rest of the lines got rewrapped in msgsid. Now it's just one very long line that changes when a paragraph has been edited. The --add-location=file option was removed as redundant. The line numbers don't exist in the .pot file due to --porefs file and thus they cannot get copied to the .po files either. --- po4a/update-po | 15 +++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/po4a/update-po b/po4a/update-po index 4bf032f5..29c7f70f 100755 --- a/po4a/update-po +++ b/po4a/update-po @@ -55,9 +55,16 @@ done # as long as this isn't run every time when "make" is run at the # top level directory.
