Context:
For another project of mine in 2018, I wanted to be able to compile gettext po files to mo ones. As gettext is not by default present on Windows system, I decided to use the module msgfmt.py from the Tools directory of a source Python distribution. I fell on the issue that it could not reliably compile more than one file at a time (was issue 35335).
I proposed a patch to fix it and ended with a Pull Request.
In the meanwhile I forgot about that and the PR became incompatible with other changes.
Current status:
I recently improved the projects using that, found again that PR and decided to port it to the new Python main branch. So far so good, but I have just realized that many things have changed.
The issue is now #79516, which recently received a Triaged badge, but it has no direct link to my PR, and only the robots have reacted to my actions.
I am pretty new to development on the cpython source and I do not know what I should do now.
Questions:
- Should I post into the issue to make clear that the PR is now valid again for the current main (all tests passing in the GitHub action at least after the last merges)?
- Should I ask in a different category here and/or with a different presentation?
