Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Because of: |
| 4 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432848 |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
We discovered an old bug affecting intltool that causes prefix of |
| 7 |
localedir to be always hardcoded to the same location instead of |
| 8 |
respecting configure flags. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The patch is fixed by intltool upstream in their master branch but still |
| 11 |
no new version was released including it. Anyway, we now have |
| 12 |
dev-util/intltool-0.50.2-r1 with the bug fixed. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The problem of this issue (and most involving intltool) is that we need |
| 15 |
to run: |
| 16 |
intltoolize --copy --automake --force |
| 17 |
(it doesn't seem to trigger maintainer mode in all ebuilds I have tried, |
| 18 |
then, doesn't look to require eautoreconf to be run) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
for all packages to get new and fixed ${S}/po/Makefile.in.in copied to |
| 21 |
the sources, otherwise bundled file is used and, then, the one unfixed. |
| 22 |
As it's unreliable to ping all upstreams involving intltool (they are a |
| 23 |
ton) and this kind of problem will likely re-appear again in the future |
| 24 |
(since the Makefile.in.in will be fixed in intltool upstream tarball but |
| 25 |
will take a lot of time to reach all affected packages) we were |
| 26 |
considering to run above command always at eclass level -> that way we |
| 27 |
would stop using bundled ${S}/po/Makefile.in.in and, then, we would |
| 28 |
always use the one provided by our intltool package (that should get |
| 29 |
fixed and updated more often). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Other possible solution would be to use ELT-PATCHES to achieve that, but |
| 32 |
I am still unsure about how would it work. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
What are your thoughts? |
