#365126 — Bug#1072594: This was not a failure caused by po4a, but a misconfiguration in goobox

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I think that the fix applied to #1072594 (recoding the input file from latin-1
to UTF-8) was not necessary. Changing the config of po4a to correctly specify
the used encoding would have worked.

I tried to improve the error messages upstream to help future users to debug
such issues, but in any case, this does not justify a RC bug against po4a, thus
closing.

Thanks for reporting,
Mt

#365140 — Bug#1072643: Po4a needs to announce stricter parsing of config files

Hello Martin.

Please disregard the severity aspect of this bug. The RC status
was just an artifact of a FTBFS bug being reassigned to another
package. I agree that it would have been better to downgrade at
the same time of doing the reassign.

Everything we ask (Helge and I) is that this is documented a little
bit better. Let me tell you a somewhat personal story: I have never
used NEWS.Debian before, but recently I did a potentially breaking
change in base-files (the way /etc/profile.d/*.sh snippets are read)
and I was suggested to use a NEWS.Debian for that, which I did,
after checking that it would help.

In this case, I fixed one of the affected packages myself,
because it was orphaned and anybody could fix it without
asking for permission:

https://tracker.debian.org/news/1535648/accepted-apt-build-01250-source-into-unstable/

For the fix, I recoded some files to UTF-8. However, in the previous message
you said that it was not really necessary. So, at this point, I still don't
know what is the exact nature of the behaviour change that makes some
packages to FTBFS, so I believe I would be one of those who would have benefited
from having a NEWS.Debian file.

Thanks.
