[Bug 1751820] Re: Teach dh_translations how to deal with meson

[Iain Lane]

We sort of assume there's only one domain already, don't we? What
happens with current g-c-c? Probably dh_translations isn't doing
anything?

I think the safest thing in this case is to do nothing if we find more
than one, right?

Maybe a future enhancement could be to allow someone to specify the
domain like

  $ dh_translations --domain=foo

for all files

or

  $ dh_translations --domain=foo
path/to/some/desktop/or/policy/or/whatever/file --domain=bar
/some/other/file

for ambiguous cases?

Title:
  Teach dh_translations how to deal with meson

Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  dh_translations is currently not capable to find the gettext domain
  and generate the translation template on packages which use the meson
  build system. It would be convenient if it was.

  I started to think about code changes, but got stuck:

  I suppose that we'd better use ninja instead of intltool-update for
  such packages, and if so, we need to pass the build directory to the
  ninja() call. How would we do that?

  Or would we use intltool-update also for such packages?
