I am maintaining a2ps, and have recently been making frequent alpha releases as I attempt to stabilise the result of a massive updating effort after a long period of quiescence. The most recent release involves no changes to the gettext strings. Using the standard gnulib release procedure for GNU projects, coordinator@translationproject.org is automatically emailed for each release, but apparently this is not desired. I received this from Benno Schulenberg : My scripts find zero changes in the msgids. > > When there are no changes in the POT file, there is no need > to announce the (pre)release to me -- it just creates extra, > unneeded work for me. > Of course, I can try to catch this manually, but I presume other projects are also sending unwanted email like this (unless I'm doing something wrong?); can something be done in gnulib? -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
