Hello! I have recently converted GNU Midnight Commander to Automake. However, there is one problem that prevents "make distcheck" from working. "make distcheck" creates a tarball, unpacks it, sets permissions to read-only, builds the package and tests some of the make targets to ensure that all the necessary files are present. One of those commands is "make dist" (note that it's the _second_ "make dist" that is run by "make distcheck"). "make dist" runs "make distdir" recursively. In the "po" directory "distdir" depends on "update-po" that tries to update *.po files in the source directory and fails because the source directory is read-only. It should be trivial to fix, but I would like to avoid local hacks. Can anybody tell me who is maintaining gettext now and where I should discuss this problem? I don't think that Automake should include any workarounds - gettext is free software and should be fixed. I see some unofficial attempts to fix gettext, e.g. in grep-2.4.2. I'd like to submit my changes to those unofficial sources if they are at least somehow maintained.
