No, "pot-*" is not a valid target. Just try

	make po-de

which implies "make pot" and will create/update the pot files as well as 
the po files for "de".

	make xml-de

(implies "make po-de") will create/update localized XML files,

	make html-de

(implies "make xml-de") creates/updates localized HTML files.

Try "make po-it" (see above).

You may also try to use the "-n" make option (e.g. "make -n html-it") 
which will just print the commands without executing them.

Creating a single po file should also work:
For a given source file, e.g. "src/filters/foo/bar.xml", replace "src/" 
with "po/it/" and ".src" with ".po", and try

	make po/it/filters/foo/bar.po

Or for making a single localized xml file:

	make xml/it/filters/foo/bar.xml

?? You should get an error message:

	make: *** No rule to make target `pot-it'.  Stop.

Hmm, not enough coffee? ;-)

Bye,,

BTW, does anybody know how to checkout a single file, or how to skip 
directories when checking out? I have a very slow dial-up connection 
and don't want to download e.g. 'src/', 'oldsrc/', or 'images/'. Is 
this possible with subversion?
