Hi,

you may have noticed that a bunch of catalog files from kdeplasma-addons by 
last night no longer is created, both for stable & trunk.

That is because there was a big set of not-yet-ported-to-qt5 applets & other 
plugins still around in the branches, and while disabled from the buildsystem, 
scripty still found the Messages.sh files in those folders as before and 
passed you those catalogs. (And then also the release scripts picked up those 
unused catalogs and added them to the created source tarballs).

As of yesterday though all such unported code has now been wiped from both 
Plasma/5.12 and master branches. Including the respective Messages.sh files. 
So those catalogs should now dissappear also from your eyes.

Sorry for not having seen that and done earlier, Hopefully you have not spent 
that much work on those catalogs.

Question:
For any future similar situations (one day there will be Qt6 :) ), what would 
be a good way on the code side to handle catalogs of yet-to-be-ported code, 
where there is a good chance that the code will be ported and thus the 
existing translation catalogs work useful to be kept for now, but without yet 
doing further work on them? Is there some way to flag catalogs as "keep-but-
better-do-not-work-on-yet"?


For your reference, this should be the catalogs gone now:
