Red Bear OS is a full fork. All sources must be available from git clone with zero network access. Removed gitignore rules that excluded fetched source trees under recipes/*/source/, local/recipes/kde/*/source/, local/recipes/qt/*/source/, and vendor source trees. Build artifacts (target/, build/, source.tar, *.o, *.so) remain excluded. 127291 files added — kernel, relibc, base, bootloader, pkgar, all KDE/Qt frameworks, mesa, wayland, DRM drivers, and every other recipe source.

<p>The <code>msgmerge</code> program merges two Uniforum style .po files together.
|
|
The <var>def</var>.po file is an existing PO file with translations which will
|
|
be taken over to the newly created file as long as they still match;
|
|
comments will be preserved, but extracted comments and file positions will
|
|
be discarded. The <var>ref</var>.pot file is the last created PO file with
|
|
up-to-date source references but old translations, or a PO Template file
|
|
(generally created by <code>xgettext</code>); any translations or comments
|
|
in the file will be discarded, however dot comments and file positions
|
|
will be preserved. Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching
|
|
is used to produce better results.
