Debian...::Html(3pm)

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

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Debian...::Html(3pm) — this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and the star of the show is dl10n-spider, which crawls translator mailing lists (and the BTS, obviously 💅) for status updates. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dl10n-spider [options] lang+

like, you give it one or more languages and it goes to work. periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this script parses the debian-l10n-<language> mailing list archives. It's out here reading emails whose titles follow one very specific format — that format is telling you what the author intends to translate, or like, the current status of their work on that translation. 📬✨

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 your heart desires. iykyk 🫶

💫 check_bts 💫

check_bts searches in the BTS for open bugs. it fixes the bug submission date if necessary, checks whether the bug is fixed or closed or not, and updates the database accordingly. very demure, very mindful, very database-consistent. 👑

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

  • Around line 771:
    • Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'François'. Assuming CP1252

like, the POD parser literally caught a stray non-ASCII character in 'François' before any =encoding line showed up, so it just assumed CP1252 and kept it moving. iconic of it honestly 🙈

anyway that's the whole page bestie — this was Debian...::Html(3pm) from perl v5.32.0, dated 2021-01-05. slay, go crawl some mailing lists 💖✨
