jw-pkg determines the file attributes of template compilation output via a line matching the '^#\s*conf' regular expression. Allow that regex to be configured.
htdocs.mk's install relies on source code having its HTML contents installed in a subdir called "htdocs". Make that choice a variable named "HTML_STOPDIR_NAME".
Support the Makefile variables PY_INSTALL, PY_INSTALL_REG, PY_INSTALL_PYC, all defaulting to true. They can be set to false to stop installation of whatever file type is undesired in the target. A common use case for this are __init__.cpython-313.pyc, provided by a package the installing package depends on. The prerequisite package might already provide these files for common directories.
$(GETTEXT_PROJECT_POT) is always generated if $(GETTEXT_INPUT_FILES) are newer than it. Having this happen automatically is not useful, since it can break manually edited and version controlled $(GETTEXT_PROJECT_POT).
It appears that inkscape, if invoked from the command line, fires up a splash screen if it has enough time to do so. This leads to strange flickering during the build process. Unset DISPLAY in the attempt to keep that from happening.
proj_dir() raises an exception for projects which don't have a dedicated project directory, even though for some projects this is legal. php-cli, for instance, only installs stuff below /srv/www/proj/php-cli.
%prep is passed -n <name> option. This is considered an error by rpm Release 4.20.1-1.1. It is superfluous anyway, because the name is communicated to rpm via %setup -n <name> later in the %prep section. Remove the -n option.
Currently, there's a $(GETTEXT_PROJECT_PO): $(GETTEXT_POT) rule, but since updates to the workflow now considers, allows and mandates one or multiple *.pot files as the authoritative source for translations, make this a pattern rule rather than only valid for $(GETTEXT_POT).
GETTEXT_INPUT_EXTS takes a whitespace separated list of extensions which are subsequently passed to find -name to locate source files which are meant to be run through xgettext.
The first argument to find, translateme, is not really meant to exist, it's just there to allow adding multiple extensions preceded by -o in a $(foreach) loop.
Try to make the workflow a little more versatile. As of this commit, .pot files are assumed to preexist, save $(GETTEXT_PROJECT_POT), which can be generated from source, and should be committed, too.
A directory with gettext.mk in it, provided it has a locale name, makes the parent directory to a working localedir, which can be used from within the janware source tree, so add it with the all target and remove it with clean.
