Everything is available at http://haydn.debian.org/~thuriaux-guest/po4a/ddp/ To activate po4a for your language (condition 1.), you should include Makefile.common.po4a from your <ll>/Makefile, by adding the following line: include $(CURDIR)/../Makefile.common.po4a PO files look like (part of condition 2.): release-notes.fr.po This is far from the results of debiandoc2pot. For condition 3.: * Makefile.common.diff is needed, because $(wildcard *.sgml) is evaluated before the sgml file has been generated. * Makefile.diff avoids to stop the whole build if the generation failed. The only constraint is that the original document should be "more valid", especially with conditional inclusions. See for example http://cvs.debian.org/ddp/manuals.sgml/release-notes/en/release-notes.en.sgml?root=debian-doc&r1=1.69&r2=1.70 that fixes some of the problems, and release-notes.en.sgml.diff (not yet committed) fixes the remaining one. Last thing to know: addenda should be added to the <ll>/addenda/ directory, with the name <foo>.add. They will be automatically included. Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux
