From 8b5d3bdf876ac661a6448c634743c6255035975a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glenn Washburn Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:15:53 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: Remove po/*.po and po/LINGUAS po files will now be tracked. This has the following benefits as listed by Colin Watson: * Build processes would no longer be vulnerable to an external server potentially going down for an extended period of time; they'd be stuck with outdated translations until the server was fixed or came up with a workaround, but that's better than nothing. * It would be easier to manage branches of stable releases, rather than assuming that translations downloaded for master will match the POT files for a stable release. * Tests would be able to pass from a clean git checkout without relying on an external server, improving QA reliability. * It would be easier to make and test branches while offline. * The translations shipped with a release tarball could be tagged in git so that it's easy to investigate bugs in them. * Downstream distributors would be able to use git branches without having to fill in additional files.
