The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed. My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or man-po/ps The README describes the three-step process for translating the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.

COMPATIBILITY
|
|
|
|
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
|
|
hopefully all future kernels.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
|
|
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
|
|
your needs.
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
|
|
|
|
make check

PACKAGING
|
|
|
|
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
|
|
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
|
|
applies to you.
|
|
|
|
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
|
|
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
|
|
included.
|
|
|
|
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
|
|
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
|
|
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
|
|
email without need for an account.
|
|
|
|
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
|
|
to the CFLAGS variable.

TRANSLATING MAN PAGES
|
|
There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most
|
|
of the work happens in the man-po directory.
|
|
|
|
make -C man-po translate-templates
|
|
Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators
|
|
to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent
|
|
to the tp-coorindator before release.
|
|
|
|
make get-trans
|
|
rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and
|
|
man pages.
|
|
|
|
make -C man-po translate-mans
|
|
This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation
|
|
magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file
|
|
and produce a translated man page in that language.
|
|
All of the man pages generated are found in
|
|
man-po/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
