@lfu Since you are doing the release of virt-who-configure, are you able to review this one? Once it's out of Draft state.

I'm not sure if .mo files should be tracked in the repo. Looks like Foreman and Katello are not tracking .mo files.
@ekohl Any input?

Thanks @ekohl

I'm not sure if .mo files should be tracked in the repo. Looks like Foreman and Katello are not tracking .mo files.

That's a good question and you're right: ideally we shouldn't keep them in git because they're the compiled .po files.

For Foreman we compile it in packaging:
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/blob/5ff32fc75dbedd1c01eea9b39c184b87f1f3c609/packages/foreman/foreman/foreman.spec#L553-L554

For Katello the release process is a bit special and they're built locally so they're included in the .gem file, but not in git.

I started an approach that essentially does the same as Foreman for Katello: theforeman/foreman-packaging#10035

Once that works, we should be able to apply the same approach to all plugins and remove the files from git, add them to .gitignore to avoid storing compiled files in git.

Until then we take the ugly approach.
