Updating POT files

[John J. McDonough]

Having spent a little time battling the details around updating the POT
files automatically, I think I finally have it working.  I thought I
would share the script so others don't have to go through the same
battles.

This is far from elegant, and a variant of the build script I posted on
the wiki.  But there are a few little details.  In this case I again
updated the po's individually.  In the case of the build I wanted the
logs.  In this case, it prevents me from having to build long strings of
languages for git add and update_po.

Note that since I am pushing back to git, I use the ssh:// clone variant
instead of git://

Script below

#  Script to update POT and PO files and push
#  back to git
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# Modify the following variables for your situation
#
# List of subdirectories to ignore
NOLANGS="build tmp pot po publican.cfg README en-US"
# Scratch directory on local machine for work
WORKDIR="/home/jjmcd/Projects/Release-Notes/F13/makepot"
# Document to build *** NOTE ** If your document is not
# in the docs/ subtree in git, you will need to modify
# the git clone statement below
DOC="release-notes"
#
# End of variables to modify
# ----------------------------------------------------------
#
# Move to scratch directory
cd $WORKDIR
# and clean it out
rm -Rf *
# Let's check how long this takes
echo "Start " `date` >time.txt
git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/$DOC.git
pushd $DOC
cp -R en-US ..
git checkout --track -b f13 origin/f13
rm -Rf en-US
mv ../en-US .
rm -Rf pot
publican update_pot
git add en-US/ pot/

# For all subdirectories
for LANG in * ; do
  # Figure out whether this one is one of those to ignore
  DOIT=1
  for TEST in $NOLANGS
    do
      if [ $LANG == $TEST ] ; then
        DOIT=0
      fi
    done
  # Do this directory
  if [ $DOIT == 1 ]
    then
      publican update_po --lang=${LANG}
      git add ${LANG}/
    fi
done
git commit -m "Updated POT files"
git push origin f13
popd
# And now the finish time
echo "  End " `date` >>time.txt
