[DRE-maint] Bug#684187: ruby-gettext: please implement command-line options for rgettext to fill in some fields

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: ruby-gettext
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi again!

I noticed that rgettext lacks useful command-line options to specify
actual values to be used in stead of placeholders.

Please see the test case described in bug #684182 [1].

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/684182

I think it would be great if rgettext had appropriate command-line options
to specify:

  (A) what should be put in the output .pot file in stead of
      "Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER"

  (B) what should be put in stead of "PACKAGE"

  (C) what should be put in stead of "VERSION"

  (D) which e-mail address should be put in the Report-Msgid-Bugs-To
      field (a field that rgettext does not even generate, currently)

Please implement these additional features and/or forward this bug
report upstream.
Thanks for your time!
