Hello, Sorry Marc, you already mentionned this issue, but I forgot about it.

The plan to fix this is to only re-generate the POT if an English document has a more recent modification time. If the POT is generated anyway, we can also check that this update is relevant with something like: diff -q -I'#:' -I'POT-Creation-Date:' -I'PO-Revision-Date:' We can also avoid to re-generate the PO by checking the POT-Creation-Date of the POT and PO files. diff may also be used in this case. I've already added a --no-translations to avoid re-generating the translated documents (this may be useful in a 'make clean' rule). I will implement it soon in po4a. Doing it in po4a can be easier than in a makefile because I have the name of all the documents in the configuration file. This will become the default behavior (with a --force option to force the re-generation of the POT and PO files), so a versionned dependency won't be necessary. > Please, take a look at adduser 3.78 (which has just been uploaded) and > tell me what is wrong with the po4a usage in adduser, and how to get > rid of the repeated generation of doc/po4a/adduser.pot. I will have a look at it, but there is probably no way to fix this issue at the moment. > While we're at it, some contents for /usr/share/doc/po4a such as a > HOWTO for package manpage translation for Debian packages would be > great. This HOWTO is contained in the po4a.7 man page (you may not find you answer though). Martin Quinson plan to write a README (which will mostly point to the po4a.7 man page).
