Well, I handed in my thesis, but have to wait until mid-January for
my viva!

That would be much appreciated, thanks.  I think schroot-faq.7.man
is the shortest page; it includes authors.man and
copyright.man which are tiny.

With David's advice, I've now got it to generate a pot file.  I've
put it all on the po4a branch at
git://anonscm.debian.org/users/rleigh/schroot.git

The potfile may be downloaded directly from
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rleigh/schroot.git;a=blob_plain;f=man/po4a/po/schroot-man.pot;hb=po4a

I'll work on adding translated manpage (and example) generation once
we have something translated to work with.


Many thanks,
Roger
