13.7 Creating a Distribution Tarball

In projects that use GNU automake, the usual commands for creating a distribution tarball, ‘make dist’ or ‘make distcheck’, automatically update the PO files as needed.

If GNU automake is not used, the maintainer needs to perform this update before making a release:

$ ./configure
$ (cd po; make update-po)
$ make distclean
