Bug#1098919: Help to improve comparison in english/international/l10n/scripts/gen-files.pl
A possible approach would be, to convert all po files before processing, so
they don't have line breaks at ~79 characters, as it is common.
Instead, they would have all msgid's/msgstr's on one line.
That would solve your issue here, I think.
I have attached two files, to show the results.
[[ Attention: be aware, your mail client may break the view of the files!
Prefer to view it in a plain text editor and on a device, that can show very
long lines! ]]
That can be done with msgattrib:
To convert a po file with lines at max 79 chars into 'long lines' which
have the msgid's/msgstr's completely on one line:
msgattrib --no-wrap -o po-file_without-line-break.po po-file-with-line-break-at-79-chars.po
To convert a file with 'long lines' into a file with line breaks at
79 chars:
msgattrib -o po-file-with-line-break-at-79-chars.po po-file_without-line-break.po
However, since the po files in all the debian packages are in
"line-break at 79 chars" mode, you would have to convert them all to the
"without line-breaks" mode before this script does its work.
And after the script run, you would have to convert the po files back to
the "line-break at 79 chars" mode, since this is what translators are
expecting.
Thus, that means a significant change to this script, which is already heavily
complicated as it is now...
And it takes a long time to run, since it processes all po files in all
debian packages!!!
Think about the numbers here: bookworm had more than ~59000 packages in total!
