Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44098 (project gettext): Thanks, that's an interesting idea, but I don't think msgfmt is the right place to add those checks. The command is supposed to take a PO file rather than a POT file as its input, and it would be annoying if the warnings were issued when processing every PO file.
On the other hand, this sort of checks look analogous to syntax check rules in Gnulib's maintainer-makefile, which some projects include in their repositories to ease maintenance tasks (but not in distribution tarballs): http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/top/maint.mk#n147 So, as a first step we can provide those checks as a built-in subcommand of msgexec, so they can be invoked from such a maintainer-makefiles. Is this approach feasible to the GNOME's use of gettext? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44098> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
