Dear gettexters,
having just updated my system to SuSE 8.1, I have also received the latest
version of gettext [(GNU gettext) 0.11.5] and find that you have changed
several things so that my old setup did not work any more. I looked through
the documentation but found nothing to warn about these changes: please take
care in the future to look after existing users of gettext.
Finally there is one change you have made that continues to get in the way and
I would like to see an option/change to gettextize to prevent it, to quote:
"Furthermore, `gettextize' will update all `Makefile.am' files in
each affected directory, as well as the top level `configure.in' or
`configure.ac' file."
This action insists in adding text to these files even if the settings are
already there, e.g.
AC_OUTPUT([
m4/Makefile
Makefile
src/Makefile
doc/Makefile
man/Makefile
po/Makefile.in
intl/Makefile],
[touch Makefile.in])
changes to
AC_OUTPUT([ intl/Makefile po/Makefile.in m4/Makefile
m4/Makefile
Makefile
src/Makefile
doc/Makefile
man/Makefile
po/Makefile.in
intl/Makefile],
as you will see the three entries are now doubled up.
