[Po4a-devel] [RFC] Changing po4a's type comments

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

As a result of http://bugs.debian.org/516526 , I intent to change the
"type" comments in po4a to extracted comments.
Extracted comments are maintained automatically by gettext
(info gettext "PO Files")

This means that:

	# type: textblock
	#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
	msgid ""
	...

will be changed to:

	#. type: textblock
	#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
	msgid ""
	...

One drawback is that after updating (po4a-updatepo), this will result in:

	# type: textblock
	#. type: textblock
	#: doc/po4a.7.pod:326
	msgid ""
	...

It will be up to the translators to remove this redundant line

	# type: textblock

(or not to remove it - this is not an issue for the PO file itself)

I think this is more valid since "# " introduce a translator comment. Also
this will fix the desynchronization of the type which currently occur with
po4a PO files.

Any comment?

Best Regards,
