Hello,

(this mail goes both to Bacula developers and bacula-server/client 
FreeBSD ports maintainer; not sure who can help)

We are successfully using Bacula in our FreeBSD servers for many years 
and we are extremely happy with it. FreeBSD ports system has an NLS 
switch that can be used to enable/disable NLS support during ports 
building and installation (e.g. OPTIONS_UNSET+=NLS in /etc/make.conf 
would globally disable NLS support in any port built).

If NLS option is set, then sysutils/bacula-(server|client) ports would 
be built with "CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-nls" and a dependency to GNU 
gettext. If NLS option is not set, then the ports would be built with 
"CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-nls" and *no* gettext dependency.

Running Bacula configure script with "--disable-nls" on a system that 
has GNU gettext already installed (that is /usr/local/lib/libintl.so 
available in a FreeBSD system with devel/gettext port installed) would 
result to "Libraries: -lpthread  -lintl" and thus a gettext "stealth" 
dependency.

Is this desirable? I thought that "--disable-nls" would result to *no* 
gettext dependency regardless gettext availability in the system. We 
have bacula-client installed in dozens of our servers using centrally 
created packages and skipping a gettext dependency is a must (not to 
mention a "stealth" unrecorded dependency).

Regards,
Panagiotis
