NAME

       Locale::Po4a::NewsDebian - Convert NEWS.Debian documents from/to PO
       files

DESCRIPTION

       The po4a (po for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

       Locale::Po4a::NewsDebian is a module to help the translation of the
       NEWS.Debian files into other [human] languages. Those files are where
       maintainer are supposed to write the important news about their
       package.

OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE

       NONE.

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

       Not tested.

       A finer split of the entries may be preferable (search for /^ */, for
       example), but this version is more robust and NEWS.Debian entries are
       not supposed to change that often.

AUTHORS

       This module is loosely inspired from
       /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog/debian, which is:
