Translations: po-python.pot template is missing, existing .po files useless

[Milo Casagrande]

Binary package hint: gimp

When scanning the import queue in Launchpad Translations for issues that need manual intervention, I found the following issue with the gimp package, which prevents a smooth import into Launchpad Rosetta and causes the Ubuntu Translation Coordinators to manually adjust or remove .po files.

In the po-python/ directory the po-python.pot template file is missing. Therefore, corresponding .po files cannot be imported into Rosetta and won't appear in the language-packs.
If the translations are not used anyways, please consider to remove the po-python/ directory.
If the translations should be used, please fix the build script to actually build the .pot file.

For general guidelines how to ensure smooth imports into Launchpad Translations, please see:

Gabor, do you know if this is still an issue and if your patch is still valid?

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

Yes, import queue is still full with translations from po-python: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/gimp/+imports
As for the patch validity, I guess it is, based on the bzr branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/gimp/precise
looks like it didn't changed since a while.
