Description Jim Nelson 2015-03-20 20:48:04 UTC 
As described in bug #738340 comment 21, xml2po was deprecated a long time ago and replaced with itstool.  We should migrate Geary to the new tool.
Comment 1 Michael Gratton 2017-10-23 10:11:07 UTC 
Will probably want to keep using xml2po until after migrating build to Meson, to avoid duplicating the migration, so adding a dep on Bug 777044.

After that, we should migrate to either straight up gettext using an appropriate ITS file for our Mallard docs if possible, or else from gnome-doc-utils to yelp-tools — which IIRC uses itstool internally.

Either way, once we no longer use xml2po we need to update the flatpak-builder manifest to drop the gnome-doc-utils build, and ensure that the docs are still getting built fine there.
Comment 2 Michael Gratton 2017-12-13 04:45:24 UTC 
This may have accidentally happened already for the meson build. Will check it's all working properly, update flatpak, then resolve.
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2018-06-13 12:48:13 UTC 
I believe itstool is indeed being used by meson, and the flatpak build dropped xml2po the other day without any ill-effects, so resolving as fixed.
