Hello all, I do not understand why these old manuals are built with
po4a.cfg. Why does it not use old guix 1.4.0 to build old manual 1.4.0?
po4a.cfg was added to guix.git in early June 2024 in commits starting from
commit 2d4af5247057505956e841d396ec78af9f769837

build: Update the POT creation task with the po4a command.
* configure.ac (Documentation translation): Add the po4a program and remove
the po4a-updatepo program. The PO4A defined here can be used in
Makefiles (e.g. po/doc/local.mk below). The po4a command integrates the
functionality of po4a-updatepo and is currently recommended for use [1].
The
po4a-updatepo command has been replaced by the po4a command and are not used
from anywhere.
* po/doc/local.mk (%D%/%.pot): Use a po4a command instead of the
po4a-updatepo
for the POT generation. This eliminates the warning of po4a-updatepo;
"po4a-updatepo is deprecated. The unified po4a(1) program is more
convenient
and less error prone." Here, the file paths are passed using variables.
This
is because the po4a command needs to be executed for each language and each
file. Dummy values are passed for those that are not needed to update the
POT
file.
* po/doc/po4a.cfg: Add a po4a config file for the POT generation. The po4a
command requires a configulation file.

The old manual as referred to in maintenance.git in
hydra/modules/sysadmin/web.scm was expected to build with the
guix/self.scm of old guix.git; it should not try to use po4a.cfg.
Current po4a also still includes the old po4a tools (po4a-updatepo and
po4a-translate) from before; they just are little maintained.

Florian
