Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: Remove po/*.po and po/LINGUAS
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:15:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111071553.286496-1-development@efficientek.com> (raw)

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    stuck with outdated translations until the server was fixed or came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.

Resending this patch alone as it was accidentally added to a previous patch
series that it should not have been a part of.
