DL10N-HTML(1p)

📦 version 3.00, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 dl10n-html — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is the manual for dl10n-html (yes the page header says that, and the NAME section inside says dl10n-spider — iconic little identity crisis, we love her for it 💅).

✨ NAME ✨

dl10n-spider — crawl translator mailing lists (and BTS) for status updates 🕷️💌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dl10n-spider [options] lang+

like. give her options. give her one or more langs. she goes. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what this script does is parse the debian-l10n-<language> mailing list archives. It's scrolling through looking for emails whose titles follow a specific format — that format is basically the author announcing what they intend to translate, or dropping the current status of their work on that translation. ✨

And then all of that info gets saved into a dl10n database, which you can then use to build an l10n coordination page, or literally any other useless statistics you feel like making. no cap. 📊💀

🧚 Command line option parsing

General options:

  • -h, --help — display short help text 🫶
  • -V, --version — display version and exit 🎀

Begin point of the crawling:

  • --year=YYYY
  • --month=MM
  • --message=msg
if not specified, will crawl for new messages. periodt. 🌈

Database to fill:

  • --sdb=STATUS_FILE — use STATUS_FILE as status file (instead of $STATUS_FILE) 💾
