Bug#775153: wesnoth-1.12-tools: Replace data/tools/wmlxgettext with utils/wmlxgettext.

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

Package: wesnoth-1.12-tools
Version: 1:1.12.0-1
Severity: normal

Python data/tools/wmlxgettext script isn't useful and experimental and still
dated at 2007.

That script shown on run:


  You probably want to use 'utils/wmlxgettext' instead
  This script was intended as a replacement but is not currently used
  It does not generate the same results as the perl version anymore
  This is not the wmlxgettext script you're looking for


Upstream for gettext uses Perl utils/wmlxgettext.

Please replace this script by Perl version.

>From IRC chatting:

<shadowm> That's utils/wmlxgettext.
<gavenkoa> yes, I see that Perl script in checkouted sources. Debian
           wesnoth-1.12-tools package instead ships Python version, which
           is not useful...
<gavenkoa> What I do wrong - don't update my PATH... Instead experiment with
           xgettext. Seems that "xgettext --language=Lua" do job well.
<shadowm> Well, you are on your own there. We use wmlxgettext for mainline and
          Wescamp and we can't recommend or support anything else even if it
          works by sheer coincidence.
