[Bug 1707898] Re: systemd translations are not synced with upstream

[Martin Pitt]

I confirmed that the current "ninja -C build-deb/ systemd-pot" command
also builds a complete .pot file with policykit-1 installed
(unsurprisingly, as this also just calls gettext). So that part is fine.

What is really bad however, is to build-depend against policykit-1:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cgmanager dbus libcgmanager0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1 libpam-systemd libpolkit-backend-1-0 libprocps6 policykit-1 procps systemd
  systemd-shim

This is an awful lot to pull into a buildd schroot, in particular it
makes systemd build-depend on itself. I'd really like to avoid that.

Are the files /usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.{its,loc} only being used at
build time, or does polkit need these at runtime for dynamic gettext
translations? My gut feeling is that it's the former, and then it would
make sense to move these two into libpolkit-gobject-1-dev instead.
systemd already build-depends on that, thus it will automatically pick
these up.

  systemd translations are not synced with upstream

Bug description:
  Translations for systemd are outdated because they do not seem to be
  synced with the upstream ones.

  For example the Czech one:
  Launchpad: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/systemd/+pots/systemd/cs/+translate - 0% translated
  Upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/po/cs.po - 100% translated
