The script is placed here (currently):
wiki/src/contribute/l10n_tricks/unify_po-headers.py

old script for reference: wiki/src/contribute/l10n_tricks/check_po.sh

Environment

• at developers computer for checking/unifing their po files.
• at Jenkins to check all po files. wiki/src po files have other rules than other po files.
• a malicious users try to trick this script
• as core devs need to review random review requests against tails repository, the scrip itself can’t live in the same repository nor submodule, as otherwise a malicious users can get into control of a core devs’ computer.

Expectations

• never screws up the host system
• status code is reflecting if any error was detected in po files
• it does not get triggerd by freshly created/updated po files by ikiwiki (Author: IkiWiki <ikiwiki.info>)
• only modify any file, when --modify is given.
• output should be clear enough for humans to understand, where an issue was detected.
