bug#22888: make fails - fallout from weechat move?

[Chris Marusich]

Hi,

Starting with the following commit, invoking "make" from a clean
checkout fails:

e288f00 gnu: weechat: Move to irc.scm.

The problem occurs on this commit, and also on the master branch. I
searched for this issue in the existing bugs and the guix-devel email
list but found nothing, so I assume nobody has noticed it yet.  Here's
an example of the failure:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var
[ lots of output, and it succeeds ]
$ make
[ lots of output ]

It looks like this commit moved some packages around but did not update
all the necessary references. Here is what it modified:

    * gnu/packages/weechat.scm (weechat): Move from here ...
    * gnu/packages/irc.scm (weechat): ... to here.

And here are some remaining references that I found after the change (in
a clean checkout):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep -r weechat.scm
po/packages/POTFILES.in:gnu/packages/weechat.scm
po/packages/pl.po:#: gnu/packages/weechat.scm:92
po/packages/pl.po:#: gnu/packages/weechat.scm:93

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would like to fix this, but I am not yet familiar with the
localization process. Judging by the regularity of the contents of the
files in po/packages and the git blame (which shows most everything
appearing in one commit), it looks like a tool was used to create them.

How can I resolve this issue? I imagine that I simply need to update the
files in the right way (probably using some kind of tool). Any guidance
you can provide will be helpful.

Thank you,
Chris
