translation template shouldn't have full path info

see also bug #1359267

Thanks, the current pot doesn't seem to have duplicated strings, could you give some specific examples?

From current trunk, see:
$ cat po/ubuntu-system-settings.pot | grep settings.js
http://paste.ubuntu.com/8150268/

If you use a builddir that's not in /tmp/ubuntu-system-settings, like following the steps to reproduce, you will update the pot file as if you have changed something on the source.

Maybe duplicated strings is the wrong description, because the strings appear only once but come from two sources: the right qml file and the wrong js that shouldn't be taken into account when generating the pot:

#: ../plugins/time-date//PageComponent.qml:29
#: /tmp/ubuntu-system-settings/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/po/settings.js:14
msgid "Time & Date"
msgstr ""

I still don't understand the issue, your pastebin doesn't have duplicate and running "make pot" doesn't lead to have the same string listed twice here, can you give an particular example? like "That string" from thatsource.c l25 is listed twice in the pot?

the string you listed is listed twice for a good reason, it's in 2 files, in the UI and in a .settings as the name of the panel (that's the one showing as settings.js). Is your issue that it's showing as settings.js rather than "realname.settings"? Why is that an issue?

The string is not duplicated nor listed twice, but it comes from two sources. One of them dependent on the builddir you use, so if you use a different dir from the one the previous commiter used, you will get the pot updated even if you didn't update the source files.

In the example I pasted above:

#: ../plugins/time-date//PageComponent.qml:29
#: /tmp/ubuntu-system-settings/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/po/settings.js:14
msgid "Time & Date"
msgstr ""

Notice the line:
#: /tmp/ubuntu-system-settings/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/po/settings.js:14

That line shouldn't be part of the pot.

Now from the root of the project, do:
mkdir builddir
cd builddir
cmake ..
make pot

An notice that the pot will be updated with something like:
-#: /tmp/ubuntu-system-settings/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/po/settings.js:14
+#: /home/elopio/workspace/canonical/ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/builddir/po/settings.js:14

Ah, I didn't know that. I thought we needed only the one coming from the
QML.
So, is there a way for not using the full path to the builddir on the pot?
That's the issue, it will be different for every developer.

Thanks Sebastien.
