[Bug 1751820] Re: Teach dh_translations how to deal with meson

[Iain Lane]

with this, I removed the dh_translations override from ubuntu-settings,
and:

   dh_translations
	check_buildsystem: got domain 'ubuntu-default-launchers', using intltool: 0
	/usr/bin/ninja -C /home/laney/temp/ubuntu-settings-18.04.2/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu ubuntu-default-launchers-pot
ninja: Entering directory `/home/laney/temp/ubuntu-settings-18.04.2/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu'

laney at raleigh> cat debian/ubuntu-settings/usr/share/ubuntu/applications/gnome-initial-setup.desktop

laney at raleigh> ls po/ubuntu-default-launchers.pot
po/ubuntu-default-launchers.pot

but I guess the main thing to check is that it's not going to break
random other packages.

Title:
  Teach dh_translations how to deal with meson

Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  dh_translations is currently not capable to find the gettext domain
  and generate the translation template on packages which use the meson
  build system. It would be convenient if it was.

  I started to think about code changes, but got stuck:

  I suppose that we'd better use ninja instead of intltool-update for
  such packages, and if so, we need to pass the build directory to the
  ninja() call. How would we do that?

  Or would we use intltool-update also for such packages?
