-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The findutils project currently has two active release branches - 4.2.x is stable (no new features, just bug fixes; 4.2.27 is the most recent .pot on TP, but there have been changed strings in the current 4.2.31), and 4.3.x is developmental (new features and strings are added regularly; including in the current 4.3.8 .pot file on TP).
Should .pot files be cumulative, where the 4.3.8 .pot file will also contain any strings unique to 4.2.31 but not in the 4.3.x series? My initial reaction is that they are not cumulative, because the .pot file is generated by running xgettext on the current sources, and contains line numbers, so a translator trying to improve messages for 4.2.31 could be confused by the .pot file for 4.3.8, possibly missing source strings that have diverged between the two branches. Therefore, is there a way for the TP to track two branches of current .pot files, rather than assuming that the most recently submitted file is the only one worth working on? Also, what URL would I use to access the most recent 4.2.x translations, seeing as how http://translationproject.org/latest/findutils/ only grabs the 4.3.x translation if one exists? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
