From 612c280ef2400c70ea2fd8f2e17549c95002368c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 08:42:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: fix update-po-config to accect backslash in input Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited): ===== In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation with an "invalid control sequence" error. The offending string is the following, and it's located in drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72: "'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The" looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise it as a valid one. A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that msguniq would not complain. ===== This patch implements the suggested escaping.
