Thanks,
however, I think translation teams could follow this approach as "de
facto", instead of translating alphabetically. With so much strings to
work on, we should priorize on KDE's and GNOME's. So there is no need
to "repackage" a "gnome-specspo.pot" and a "kde-specspo.pot"
- just
follow this approach and translate first those strings.

There is a lot of logic in that, and I did consider it, but I
decided
against it, because it becomes a little too difficult to manage wrt how
things are currently. Regarding the split of summaries and descriptions,
at one stage, we even considered removing all descriptions completely,
and to keep summaries only. That's why I decided to make the
descriptions a second pot. If we'd attempt any further division,
bringing specspo to live again, would take a whole lot longer again. For
now, I'd really prefer to keep it as it is, summary.pot and desc.pot,
and maybe later down the track, look into splitting specspo according to
package groups.
Thanks,
Bernd
