Actually, that variable is set to 'yes' in po/Makevars.template, which is installed by autopoint: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/tree/gettext-tools/po/Makevars.template#n68 However, if you request a gettext infrastructure of version '0.19', po/Makevars.template is not upgraded. That was a mistake in the 0.19 release process, and it could be fixed by requesting a newer gettext infrastructure version, i.e., 0.19.1 or later. Maybe we should fix it in the bundled archive.dir.tar, as people tend to omit the teeny version. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
