Hey,
This is the diagram:

        Local copy                        Template copy                    
      ┌──────────────────────┐         ┌─────────────────────────────┐      
      │  alpaka.po           │         │  alpaka.pot                 │      
      │                      │         │                             │      
      │  alpaka._desktop_.po │         │  alpaka._desktop_.pot       │      
      │                      │         │                             │      
      │                      │         │  org.kde.alpaka.metainfo.pot│        
      └──────────────────────┘         └─────────────────────────────┘      

Let's assume that I translated the part on the left and these files are 100% complete, when I'm updating my local copy against the SVN I'm not getting any new updates unless scripty merged them with their corresponding POT files.
For existing files, it works great, but if I have new files (in the templates) I can't fetch them automatically unless I'm either fetching them manually from the templates or looking at the UI and finding that there are missing strings in an app I've already fully translated.

I hope it makes sense.

A package like a tarball?

Have you already tried using projects in Lokalize and "svn
update" command on templates (aka POT files)?
