From 5a406b06792e26a83c7346b3c2443c0bd8d4cdb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Schwartz Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2021 18:22:47 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] migrate from custom itstool to builtin msgfmt for creating translated XML gettext upstream has supported this for a very long time (since 0.19.7 via commit b3c2a5a242c36fbbaa0c5b17f975d6c638598a23, released in 2015), and itstool is (mostly) a legacy of the time before gettext had proper support for these sorts of use cases. This is similar to the state of intltool, which is described at https://wiki.gnome.org/MigratingFromIntltoolToGettext During the port from autotools to meson, the legacy use of itstool was faithfully translated to meson in the only way possible: by jumping through hoops to run ninja inside ninja in order to generate the .mo files for itstool, because meson's i18n module used a flawed design and there was no "real" target to create those files, only a .PHONY run_target which other rules cannot depend on. Although meson 0.60.0 added support for real targets for the built .mo files, this changed the rules for output filenames, breaking the script. But msgfmt does not care, and anyways comes with builtin meson functions for convenient use with XML files. So let's take this opportunity to drop legacy dependencies and use the modern, builtin tooling, which fixes this bug as a side effect.
