Source: gettext Source-Version: gettext Severity: wishlist Hi!
For dpkg, which uses muliple po directories, I'd like to be able to set the COPYRIGHT_HOLDER variable centrally, instead of having to set it on each po/Makevars file, and possibly having to keep it in sync. It would be nice if gettext supported setting it from an autoconf variable (with AC_SUBST), in the same way MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS falls back to use PACKAGE_BUGREPORT when MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS is empty. This might require setting something like: PACKAGE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER = @PACKAGE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER@ in Makefile.in.in, and making the code fallback to use that if COPYRIGHT_HOLDER is not set. For an example of how I'm using it now with po4a (which uses a Makefile.am instead): <https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/configure.ac#n7> <https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/man/Makefile.am#n76> (Hmm, it just occurred to me I could rename all Makevars to Makevars.in and add them to the configure.ac AC_CONFIG_FILES, but I'd rather have a proper variable for this if possible?)
