Re: making tarballs smaller

[Tino Meinen <a t meinen chello nl>]

I guess there are several ways one can achieve this (I'm not a
developer, only a translator), but the Makefile.in in directory: /po
usually contains a line like:

DISTFILES = ChangeLog Makefile.in.in POTFILES.in $(GETTEXT_PACKAGE).pot
\
$(POFILES) $(GMOFILES) $(SOURCES)

If you remove the $(GMOFILES), then a make dist will produce a tarball
without the .gmo files
