Dear goodies developers,

If you did or going to do releases with the xfce-dev-tools >= 4.7.2
and you still have po/LINGUAS file, translations could be missing in
the release and builds could be broken on some systems.

Do to changes in xfce-dev-tools for xfce 4.8 and transifex the LINGUAS
file in the po directory isn't updated any longer.
Since po/Makefile will use the LINGUAS file if it is present release
tar-balls could be missing translations.

Please remove the po/LINGUAS file before your next release using
xfce-dev-tools >= 4.7.2.
Update your build requirements to require atleast xfce-dev-tools 4.7.2
(or the stable 4.8.0)

If you already did a release with xfce-dev-tools >= 4.7.2 and you
still had the po/LINGUAS file please check your release.
In the configure.in or configure.ac file there is a line with XDT_I18N
check if all the languages on that line are pressent in the po
directory in the release tar-ball.

Regards,
Peter
