  • Bug#265684: config file does not allow the character ":" in manpage nam

    From Julien Louis@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 14 14:40:08 2004

    Package: po4a
    Version: 0.17.2-1
    Severity: minor

    Hi,

    While trying to gettextize the Debconf::Client::ConfModule manpage,
    po4a fails because the manpage name countains the ":" character. This "feature" doesn't allow po4a to deal with perl modules manpages :(

    Please, allow escaped ":" in manpage name in the configuration file.

    Cheers

    Thanks, fixed upstream. Release this week. Btw, could you please add the
    error message to the report, please?


    Bye, Mt.

    The error message is:
    po4a.cfg:3: The first argument (./Debconf::Client::Confmodule.pod) must not contain any colon (':')

    and the config file only contains this:
    [po4a_paths] po/debconf.pot fr:po/fr.po
    [type: pod] ./Debconf\:\:Client\:\:Confmodule.pod \
    fr:./Debconf\:\:Client\:\:Confmodule.fr.pod

    That's good because that's exactly the bug I fixed. It was a kind of
    validity verification. The first argument is not supposed to be prefixed by "<lang>:", and I didn't thought that filenames could contain colon, too. Anyway, it's fixed in the CVS.

    Bye, Mt.
